Senior Schedule...?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

Hey everyone,
I have my list done. I just need your opinions on the english course.

AP Bio
AP Calc AB
AP Psych
Band Honors
Science Research Honors
I am not taking spanish because I’m not in upper level classes (so study hall)
No more gym, so 2 study hall days out of the 4 rotation days
English Options:
-AP Seminar (new class but teacher is “hard” and a lot of writing I assume. AP Exam is individual and group research paper and presentation)
-Honors Research Writing (basically 2nd half of AP Capstone program but the school hasn’t made it AP yet so it is just an honors class. Talked to students, said difficult because of teacher. Lots of papers.)
2 Half Years- Honors World Literature and Honors Modern Poetry

Right now I’m only taking two APs (Lit and Gov) so I am afraid that 4 APs will be too much for next year. Do you know if it’s managable? Psych is memorization and Bio is also memorization and a lot of chapter notes/work. I’ve talked to students and they said Bio will either be hard or easy (some people get straight Cs in a row).

Then on the other hand, I should take the AP Seminar because it exposes me to college level research writing and presentation skills (I’m a shy bird by the way). I wouldn’t mind taking the other honors options as well. I’m asking if the AP is worth it. Also I have one study hall (3/4 rotation days), in which some days I might have double study hall from the gym periods.
I need a study hall because it’s senior year and APPS! But I could always take an extra honors class like sociology, philosophy, or world lit in place of the study hall for the HALF year (post college apps hopefully) just for fun.

Thanks!

EDIT: I’d like to add that my GPA is sub-standard because of APUSH and Algebra 2 H last year. The only class I’m having trouble with now is physics H.

Can you take Honors World Literature and Philosophy for your Humanities class?
What are you hoping to major in?
Because you struggled with PhysicsH and Algebra 2H, AP Bio might not be the best choice for a science. (Did you get A’s or B’s in Biology H and Chemistry H?) In that case, you could take APES or another Science, and AP Seminar.

No philosophy does not count as half credit but quarter credit because it is an elective.
I’m hoping to major in business and minor a science.
I like biology better as opposed to physics so I’m just going to take it. But I don’t know if AP Seminar is worth it. Does Honors college research writing appeal better to colleges or honors world lit/honors poetry sound better? Thanks @MYOS1634
