Hey everyone, just wanted to know your guy’s opinion or experience that you had with any one of these ap classes, or even perhaps your junior year. I just finished sophomore year and I didn’t take ap classes. Therefore, I am worried about how my junior year will turn out since I’m not use to the workload. I did take some classes to prepare for some of junior classes such as Algebra II and College-Prep Chemistry(Our school doesn’t use honors, college prep is basically the same thing).
Here is my schedule:
Pre Calculus
AP Chemistry
AP Psychology
English 11
AP Microeconomics(1st semester will be Civics)
AP Statistics
Please let me know if this schedule seems tough or easy. thanks!
Looks like a tough schedule but every school is different. AP Psych is widely considered to be an easy A but my school has a rigorous class. This fluctuation of difficulty can be hard to predict but I’m sure you have a rough idea on how your classes will be based on feedback from your friends or your counselor. If you study hard and kill it on your AP exams, colleges will be very satisfied with your course selection:
As a junior this previous year I took
AP English
AP US History
AP Calc AB
Honors Principles of Engineering
AP Chemistry
Honors Anatomy and Physiology
I did not have too much trouble this past year.
Of course, it varies by school and Precalc at my school was very difficult. Stats, Econ, and psych shouldn’t give you too much trouble. Chem is hard. Overall, pretty good, if not too easy (depending on how good of a student you are). Good luck!
It depends on each school, but for mine, these are the descriptions for those classes
Precalc: basically algebra 2, except with a little bit more trig and the concept of polar coordinates thrown in there
Ap Chem: counts as two classes. In my public state universities, if you get a 5, you get credit for both CHEM 1 & 2. Obviously, that saves you lots of time and money in college so try your best.
Ap Psych: = bs social science. It’s easy if you can memorize. Also, crash course psychology is a life saver if you slacked all year and the exam is coming up
Ap micro: not so bad if you don’t hate the class
Ap stat: easy, know the formulas and know how to use your calculator.
