<p>We're making our schedules and there are a lot of options this year.
So far, I've decided I'm definitely going to take:</p>
<p>AP Biology
AP Calculus A/B
AP Spanish</p>
<p>I can't decide which AP English I want to take. And I'm also deciding between AP Economics and AP French. I feel like it would look better to a college that I take, and do well in two AP foreign language courses. But will it look bad that I don't take AP Economics, because I hear that it's extremely tough? I also have a few electives, and I'm going to self-study AP Psychology.<br>
I'm not so sure I want to take both French and Economics, because I'm involved in clubs, community service, and I have a job.</p>
<p>Any advice? Thanks!</p>
<p>It’s really difficult to ask some of these questions to us.</p>
<p>As for material:
Most people find Lang easier and more enjoyable. I thought Lang was okay and pretty much hate Lit. Do a little research on the difference though and ask current seniors how they feel about each. </p>
<p>AP Economics is not difficult at all. It’s only a one semester course (at most schools). If your Econ is a one semester course, I’d lose a semester of elective and take Econ. </p>
<p>AP French would be probably be killer unless you are great at French. It’s a tough test. But, compared to Spanish, you’ll be up against far fewer native speakers, so that helps. Spot on about colleges- two AP language exams would look great, but only if you can pull off decent scores.</p>
<p>What you need to do is talk to seniors and school alumni. Any student can handle any exam with a proper amount of studying. The question is, will the course load become too much of a commitment. Some teachers just suck. Talk to seniors about Lang, Lit, Econ, and French. They’ll know how difficult the classes are and how tough it is to keep up.</p>
