Self-study vs online class

<p>Next year I will be a sophomore and my schedule looks like this:
Ap statistics
Ap chemistry
Ap environmental science
Ap macroeconomics
Ap psychology
Honors English 2</p>

<p>I am also already signed up for Ap computer science online via NCVPS
(NC version of FLVS).</p>

<p>Ap world history has a very bad rap at my school so I don't want to take it and risk lowering my gpa, however I am interested in world history so I was planning on either self studying or taking it online. I know that the difference would be, online I would have specific assignments and guidelines and it would be time consuming, but it would raise my gpa.
Also Ap music theory is not offered at my school but I have played piano for almost 10 years and it is something I am passionate about: </p>

<p>So my main question is, would it be better to take them online (either this year or next year) or just self-study at my own pace either this year or next year.</p>

<p>what grades do you expect to get? Ap classes arent as easy as you may think…</p>

<p>At max for a student who hasent taken any Ap classes prevously, Id reccomend taking 5.</p>

<p>Also, I took Ap comp. sci (also through ncvps) and had no programming experience. It was the hardest class for me since I had zero programming knowlege. Without any programming experience, be prepared to spend 2-3 hours a day.</p>

<p>To answer your question: Drop Ap comp sci and dont take another Ap class. 5 Ap’s should be the max. Especially if this is your first time taking Ap’s.</p>

<p>You might not be able to take AP world online since its offered in your school. NC has that policy. Your school may be different though.</p>

<p>The classes would be in addition so my school allows us to take classes offered at the school online if they are extra classes. I do have so programming experience and the reason I want to take ap comp science is because a career technical education (cte) class is required to compete in deca and FBLA which I am passionate about. I expect fairly easy A’s in Apes, ap stats, and ap macro. Then I expect to have to work a little harder but still maintain A’s in ap chem and ap psych. I have taken honors classes on NCVPS and got a 100 total average in both with minimal effort.</p>
