<p>Hey guys. After the first week of junior year I am beginning to doubt whether or not I can handle my schedule and if it's worth it.</p>

<p>AP physics-mechanics
AP-language/comp
AP-psychology
AP-stat
AP-us history
Spanish 2 honors
Trigonometry(precalc) honors</p>

<p>I feel like I have no time to do anything afterschool as I am swamped with homework, I am thinking about dropping AP psych as that would cut off a good amount of hw plus give me some free periods in my schedule. Should I drop the class or work through it? I feel like I will have no time to religiously study for the SATs. I am also running a business with a friend but this schedule limits the time I can spend working with him and brainstorming ideas. How much weight do colleges put on one AP class? I know most schools say "Take the most challenging course load possible" but if I drop it then it wouldn't really follow it. ANY advice/help would be appreciated!!! thank you</p>

<p>It really depends on your presence or skills in certain subjects and also the teacher.</p>

<p>If your not the best at Pysch and/or the teacher seems to give a ton of hw. I would drop it.</p>

<p>Wait a bit though before dropping, my school we have 3-4 weeks to drop a course before we can’t. I would wait till a week or so into school before deciding which course to drop.</p>

<p>You know?</p>

<p>r u a math/sci person or liberal arts?
if u are a math and science person then drop AP US or Psych(personally i would do psych since that is a joke AP anyway)
if u are a liberal arts person then drop AP physics</p>

<p>IMHO</p>

<p>Course load is already rigorous enough even with 4 ap’s. Drop whichever one you feel hinders your ability to perform for your other classes.</p>
