I am currently a HS Senior and am taking AP Chemistry along with AP Calc, AP Environmental, AP Gov, and AP Lit. I am also leading a lot of clubs at school and am very involved. I am pretty busy everyday with afterschool sports and still finishing up drivers ed. I also volunteer and work a job everyday (I am thinking about quitting however). I am not the type to drop school classes (I already quit piano and vocal lessons to make time) but I am not sure if going through the struggle of 5 AP classes and having college applications along with all these extra cirriculars will be worth it. I get stressed super easily so I apologize how this entire discussion has horrible grammar, I have a AP Chem test tomorrow for the second day of school and I am not prepared at all, so I am trying to type this up as quickly as possible and just get back to studying. But i really need the advice.
Also the AP Chem class has a teacher who is not very good at teaching and most people have to talk to outside sources to do well. I am confident I can earn an A but I will have to put in much effort and time I think should also be spent towards college applications or such. Most people at my school either do not pass or get a 3. usually the smartest kid will get a 4 or 5 but thats it.
So is AP Chem worth it in the end?
