Schedule choices for senior year

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I am reconsidering my decision to take 7 AP's next year as a senior.
I'm in Florida and I am currently taking 6 APs: APES, AP Physics C, AP Calc AB, AP Euro, AP USH, AP Lang</p>

<p>Last semester I eeked out A's for all.. mostly average A's with borderline As for Physics and Calc. (APUSH is a joke.. we had like only 4 tests and people can get over 100% easily)</p>

<p>I am struggling in AP Physics C and I've been pulling all nighters this year like its my lifestyle -something I never usually did before.</p>

<p>I really want to get into a 7 year Accelerated Medical program and I hope a rigorous course schedule would help prepare and get me in. I took my first SAT in January and scored 2030(700CR 710M 620WR) which I hope to have time to restudy. Will taking 6 AP's and Student Assistant be good for senior year?</p>

<p>Originally I was planning to take: AP Gov/econ (i count them as 1 AP class because they are half year each), AP Bio, AP Calc BC, AP Statistics, AP Spanish Lang, AP Lit, AP Psych</p>

<p>AP Stats and AP psych would be my two electives - the others I need to take for the AP program I'm in.</p>

<p>If I take Student Assistant instead of one of those AP's which one should I knock off? I'm interested in both but work load might bring down grades of other classes. I heard AP psych is easy but very time consuming in its work load.</p>

<p>Is it better to take 7 APs and get B's in a only a couple of them and do okay on the AP exam or take 6 APs + Student Assistant get straight A's and do better on AP exam?</p>

<p>Plus I have 6 EC's, I volunteer(not recently due to Physics C work) and no job. xD</p>

<p>Edit: I'm really sorry for this essay, didn't think it would be so long. Kudos to those who reply. I really need advice.</p>

<p>Bump. Been two days, no reply.</p>

<p>I read all that, and in my honest opinion, I think the 2nd option sounds much better. 1 AP (when you’re taking that many) will not make much of a difference, and it looks like you’re taking some rigorous AP’s anyways. Just focus on getting straight A’s and performing well on the AP tests. Besides, you’re going to want time to do what you want for your last year in high school. It only happens once.</p>

<p>I don’t believe taking Student Assistant would harm you because you’ve done so well in your Junior year. Just maintain those A’s to show nothing was a fluke, and keep on with your EC’s and everything else you’ve been able to do your years throughout high school. Good luck!</p>

<p>agreed, drop ap psych or ap stats. Personally i would drop psych. But either way, you’ll be fine.</p>
