Planning my classes for sophomore year

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi! I'm a freshman and I don't think my current plan is enough if I want to get into a selective school. This year's schedule:
Physical Education (P)
Honors English
Honors Biology
Honors Algebra II
Music (P)
Freshman History (P)
Spanish 1 (P)</p>

<p>All the non-honors classes aren't offered as honors.</p>

<p>Next year I plan to take:
Tennis 101 (P)
Honors English
Honors Chemistry
Honors Precalculus/Calculus A
Music
Spanish I (P)
World History (Community College).</p>

<p>How is this if I were to leave it like so? Otherwise, I could self-study AP Stats/do it online since Algebra II is the only prerequisite. I could also do AP Music Theory online, but I'm not going to major in music, so would it even help? </p>

<p>If I take the World History class (over this summer), which is at an accredited community college, should I still take the AP exam? I would have to review during the year most likely...</p>

<p>Last question! AP Environmental Science is now offered at my high school...should I take this junior year? Or self-study/online? How hard is the AP test? Thanks.</p>

<p>If you haven’t taken your first AP class yet, I really wouldn’t recommend that you take it online, or self-study the material for the test. Also, AP Music Theory wouldn’t be bad if you were interested in the material, but you might want to be concerned more with general education classes. Other than AP Environmental, what other AP classes are offered at your school? </p>

<p>I’m in my sophomore year and I’m taking AP World History and AP biology. I recommend them, especially considering that you just took Honors Biology. It depends on what you think you can handle and what you’re interested in though.</p>

<p>AP Music is super hard. Letting you know…</p>

<p>APES is easy, so you can self study that, especially if you were good at bio.</p>
