<p>I'm taking 5 (Chem, Calc AB, Spanish Lang., Microecon, Eng. Lang) but the questions I have for y'all is whether you are doing it to learn or for class rank/college admissions.
At my school there is a kid taking 6 of 6 classes AP. The smartest girl in the school- and I- are going to get beaten by him because she's taking a non-AP drama class that she's interested in and I'm taking a <em>gasp</em> REGULAR physics class.
I think the whole AP "arms race" is a horrible idea, and keeps many kids from taking classes that they're truly interested in. I wish the administration would stop giving weighted grades for more than 4 AP classes so that if a kid were to take more than 4, people would know it's because S/He is truly interested in the subject.</p>

<p>Comments?</p>

<p>Senior (Six tests in the past: four 5's, two 4's)
AP English Lit
AP Calc BC
AP Government (US & Comparative)
AP Physics B
AP Micro & Macro Econ</p>

<p>That's 7 tests. I'm good at managing my time and the classes at my school are only moderately difficult, so I don't think it will be hard until test time; last year I had a hard time staying motivated throughout 12 hours of grueling tests. </p>

<p>I'm also thinking about self-studying Physics C (not offered at my school) because I really love Physics so far. Anybody have any advice on this?</p>

<p>I am taking 4
AP Govt
AP Chem
AP Spanish
Ap Calc BC
I would have been taking 5 but I couldnt get just a semester of AP govt so I could take the semester of AP Psych. Also, my school has a religion requirement so that takes a period every semester. And I would just rather take elective english classes rather than AP.</p>
