World history h (no ap till 10 =( )
Biology h
Geometry (I will self study algebra in the summer)
Spanish
Health and gym (required)
Sophomore
La10
Ap world history (only ap for sophomores)
Chem h
Algebra2h
Spanish 2
Art(required)
Junior

Pre calc h
Spanish 3
Web design no computer science classes
Self study
AP computer science
Senior
Ap gov
Ap lit

I would like to major in computer science

Senior year is web 3/4

  • For a prospective CS major, you should take AP Chem instead of AP Bio in junior year.
  • Take AP Calculus BC in senior year, if offered.
  • Take AP Physics C in senior year, if offered. You will probably have to take Physics H as a prerequisite though.

Phiysics h and c are not offered but I could do phycics c at a local cc

I wouldn’t self-study Algebra 1. That stuff is seriously important.

OK thanks

If you do choose to, please take an online course or something and supplement it with all the practice you can get.

I agree with @awesomepolyglot, algebra is hugely important for later math classes, if you don’t have a solid foundation in algebra the rest of your math house will crumble apart (yes that was my analogy). It’s probably best to take algebra during the school rather than over the summer, even top colleges are only looking for precalc by senior year. However, if you feel the need to accelerate your math sequence, take one of the following routes:
9th- Algebra 1
10th- Geometry & Algebra 2
11th- Precalc
12th- Calc

9th- Algebra 1
10th- Geometry
Summer- Algebra 2
11th-Precalc
12th- Calc

9th- Algebra 1
10th- Geometry
11th- Algebra 2
Summer- Precalc
12th- Calc

If your school allows students to take geometry and algebra 2 at the same time do option one, if precalc at your school is a review of algebra 2 and you can afford to take summer courses, take option two. If your school teaches trig in algebra 2, take option three.

^listen to @IAmNotCreativ ^she’s really smart^ def take her advice

@awesomepolyglot
Lol, :">

I was planning on practicing it online but iamnotcreatives advice sounds good

Do the second plan @IAmNotCreativ laid out. At most schools, Alg. 2 and Pre-Calc both go over the same concepts, Pre-Calc just delves a bit deeper. If you get the basics of Alg. 2 down, Pre-Calc will strengthen that foundation as well as add to it.
