<p>As of now I'm planning really far ahead for next fall when I'm a senior. I have to take "Advisory" which is basically a group therapy class required at my school. I also have to take Japanese 4 as four years of a language is required and I want to major in it. I want to stay in Journalism because I'm an EIC, and I also want to take AP English Lit because humanities > sciences. My principal told me next year there's going to be AP Comparative Govt and I looked it up and it sounds perfect for my second major, IR. Then there's AP Bio and AP Calc AB. </p>
<p>So:
Japanese
Advisory
AP Gov
AP English
Journalism
AP Calc
AP Bio
Gym (yea... also required...)</p>
<p>That's 8 classes in an 8 period day, so I'm going to have to get rid of one because of lunch as no other classes are offered that period. This is where I'm stuck. I want to take AP Bio/Calc so I can skip those classes in college, but I also want to take all the others because they relate to what I want to do in college. What should be my order of classes that I'll knock out? And which is the better class, AP Bio or Calc?</p>
<p>Take the ones that will relate to your major. If it’s just a general ed class you’ll be taking in college it will probably be easier than an AP class, especially as far as science is concerned.</p>
<p>I’ve never taken Bio or Calc, but I hear a lot of kids say Bio is really difficult and a lot of kids say Calc was easier than Pre-Cal, that’s at my school however. It could be totally different with different teachers.</p>
<p>Also, Gym as a senior? That sucks, is it all four years where you are?</p>
<p>We need 4 credits of gym and 2 of music. Gym USED to be worth 1 credit so I would have had to take it only 4 times (starting this semester is my 4th) but they changed it to .58 credits so I’m going to have to take it like 2 more times senior year.</p>
<p>I would take out AP Calculus because it doesn’t relate to your major. It’s better to take at least 1 AP science in high school because science courses in college are most likely “weeders” especially Chemistry 101. The rest of your classes look fine. </p>
<p>Side Note: My school only requires 1 year of physical education and health. I wouldn’t want to take 4 years of PE lol. Also my school only requires 1 semester of fine arts (music and art)</p>
