Should I take 5 APs?

<p>Hi, I'm a sophomore in high school. I want to take these classes next year:</p>

<p>AP Calculus AB
AP Chemistry
AP Physics C
APUSH
AP English Language
Research elective, time in class to do science research.</p>

<p>Would this be too much? I'm taking one AP this year (Biology), and find that my classes are very easy. Thank you for the feedback! :)</p>

<p>As long as you have the prerequisites it should be okay.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks! I do have the requirements (Physics C only requires concurrent enrollment in Calc AB).</p>

<p>Have you taken any kind of physics/chem before?</p>

<p>Taking honors chem, high A both semesters so far. </p>

<p>No physics yet, though. That’s part of the reason I’m concerned.</p>

<p>For junior year you should be taking challenging courses but that’s seems like a load. But if you have the background and time management and you enjoy those subjects, go for it. As a junior I took only 4. As a senior I’m in all APs and it can def be a lot of work.</p>

<p>5 ap classes is good. keep up the good work brotha</p>

<p>“No physics yet, though.”</p>

<p>I don’t know if it’d be a great idea to take calculus-based physics if you’ve never had any physics before. You could study some on your own during the summer, but still. Does your school have Physics B?</p>

<p>Our school has no Physics B, unfortunately. </p>

<p>I asked the teacher, he said several people jump in and are successful, though. I could also self-study a bit over the summer.</p>

<p>I plan to take either 10 or 11 APs through my high school career.</p>
