Opinions on my junior year schedule

<p>We have to start signing up for courses for our junior year soon. I have taken AP Human Geography in my freshman year and am taking AP US History this year. I am having trouble deciding what to take next year, but I have come up with two potential schedules for junior/senior year. What do you think of them?</p>

<p>Schedule A:</p>

<p>Junior:
AP Statistics
Functions (prerequisite for Calc BC, gets AP credit on GPA; might take the Calc AB exam because it covers everything in Calc AB)
AP Micro/Macro (each a semester)
Spanish IV Honors
English III Honors
Band
AP Chemistry (this is my main problem, biology is a requirement for graduation, and it wouldn't fit into my schedule with AP Chem, which is a double period every day; but I am in chem honors this year and I have a 97, and its supposed to be harder than Chem AP)</p>

<p>Senior:
AP Calculus BC
Either another AP history or Economics Seminar (post AP)
Spanish Language AP
English Language AP
Band
Biology Honors (double period once a week, requirement for graduation)
Computer Science AP (will have taken computer science over the summer)</p>

<p>Schedule B:</p>

<p>Junior:
AP Statistics
Functions (prerequisite for Calc BC, gets AP credit on GPA; might take the Calc AB exam because it covers everything in Calc AB)
AP Micro/Macro (each a semester)
Spanish IV Honors
English III Honors
Band
Biology Honors
Maybe Computer Science Honors (if not then over the summer)</p>

<p>Senior:
AP Calculus BC
Either another AP history or Economics Seminar (post AP)
Spanish Language AP
English Language AP
Band
Chemistry AP or Biology AP
Computer Science AP</p>

<p>What do you think of each of the schedules? Any suggestions appreciated.</p>

<p>I personally would pick schedule B. But that is because at my school, the bio teachers were very strong and the chem teachers not so much. Also, I’ve never heard that the honors chem curriculum to be harder than the ap chem curriculum. I heard ap chem is really challenging. ap bio, i believe, is considered to be easier than ap chem. Also, apush is a great class. It may also help to consider what you want to major in for college. Good luck!</p>

<p>I just finalized my junior year schedule. My school changed some courses around. They eliminated the Functions class now, so Calculus AB AP is a prerequisite for Calculus BC AP now. I decided to go with Biology Honors next year and then take either Bio AP or Chem AP senior year (whichever one I like best). I also decided to take Computer Science Honors. </p>

<p>So what do you think about my schedule for my junior year?</p>

<p>Band
Calculus AB AP
Statistics AP
Spanish IV Honors
Biology Honors (double period once a week)
Microeconomics AP/Macroeconomics AP (two semester courses)
English III Honors
Computer Science Honors</p>
