I’ve been comparing with friends, and now I feel like I’m slacking because I have an off block while they don’t despite them taking 5 - 6 APs next year…? Am I doing too little, or enough?
AP English Literature
AP Physics C
AP Calculus AB
AP Research
Art
Engineering Elective
Engineering Elective
Off Period
Thanks!
If you’re taking four APs, especially English Lit at the same time as Physics C, it should be totally okay to take an off period. I’m not the most qualified to speak on the issue as I am only a high schooler, but I don’t see why someone should take extra APs or purposefully take a class if they do not wish to, especially with a courseload that challenging.
Have a nice day.
EDIT: I do want to mention… because this is kinda important. Have you taken at least three years of a world language and is there a reason you aren’t taking a History or Government class?
You need a social science or history class (and if you are aiming for a flagship level university, Foreign Language level 3, level 4/AP if you’re aiming for a top 25 university/LAC).
Oh, I’m taking Goverment and Economics at my community college over the summer. Also, I completed AP Spanish Language this year, but don’t want to continue to AP Literature.
Thank you for the responses!
ok, that works
