<p>Hello all!</p>
<p>Next year I am taking 5 AP classes (AP Calculus AB, AP Physics 1, AP Lit, AP Spanish, and AP Macroeconomics). I am also enrolled in one study hall and I still had one extra hour in my schedule. I signed up for Honors World Mythology, but I just spoke with my counselor and requested him to change Honors World Mythology to Independent Services. Last year I also had a full schedule with 4 APs and two Honors. Does it look bad if I am taking one study hall and Independent Service Senior Year? I have never taken two study halls...</p>
<p>Thanks(:</p>
<p>If you handled your junior schedule fine, then I think you would be fine senior year with only one study hall. I don’t know what independent service is, but if it’s just like a study hall then I definitely think you should take another class instead</p>
<p>@maymay5678 Yes, but I am also the Student Council President so that hour would be devoted to that.</p>
<p>None of us knows what independent services is, so if you would like to share, you might get some better advice.</p>
<p>@skieurope Yes, it is an hour where you can either work for a club or do something in service of your school. In my case, I will be utilizing the hour for student council tasks since I am President of Student Council Executive Board.</p>
<p>Hello;</p>
<p>I’m a rising Senior and I’m taking the exact same AP classes as you!
(With the exception of AP Macroeconomics - instead I’ll be taking AP US Gov.) How cool, right?
However, I don’t think it really matters since you’re taking 5 AP’s. I think that’s impressive enough.</p>
<p>You can either keep your schedule the way it is with two “study halls” (since 5 APs should be sufficient) or replace Study Hall with a class. Independent Services sounds like it actually has a semi-useful function, whereas Study Hall is just a period where you do homework…</p>
