So, there's a limit to the number of APs you can take at my school.

<p>Four each year - you can do five, but you need to talk to the counselor.
My counselor is known for rejecting kids' requests. I'm planning on taking these APs next year: Calc BC, Physics, Chem, US History, Lit. The last class in French 5/6, so that'll be fine.</p>

<p>How do I show her that I can and WILL handle the workload?</p>

2

<p>Don’t take no for an answer.</p>

3

<p>You need to explain your study habits to her, how you will adjust them to keep up with a harder workload, and show how your grades now show you can handle it.</p>

<p>My school lets you take three, four if you petition (you have to write a couple page paper on why you should have the classes/how you will handle it) and most people do not get four. It really sucks to be limited in this way.</p>

4

<p>Get parents involved if you have to. Guidance Counselors tend to have a difficult time saying no to insistent parents.</p>

5

<p>Stop complaining. My school has a limit of two, and only in junior and senior year</p>

<p>D’s school has no limits. First talk to your counselor. If that doesn’t help, get your parents involved. But, be certain that you really can do the work. How many APs have you taken so far?</p>
