<p>I don’t think anyone will take any of your guys’ advices since these CCer’s who posted on this thread were here two years ago and I doubt all of them will still be here today.</p>
<p>Eh, i figure since the thread was already bumped, i might as well put in my two cents for anyone who might need similar advice.</p>
<p>My Sophomore year I’m going to take AP Bio, AP U.S. History, & AP Computer Science.</p>
<p>I know I’ll ace the Compsci(100% sure) But how many hours a night will it take me to do AP Bio & AP U.S. History? People at my school say its really easy?? Some guy got over 100% in AP Bio and he told me all you have to do is the homework packets and you’ll be fine???</p>
<p>you can always cut down the reading load by reading prepbooks (instead of textbooks)
for example, reading cliffs instead of campbell(bio), amsco instead of bailey (apush)</p>
<p>how are prewritten online notes helpful? When using them, do you still write up your own notes?</p>
<p>For anyone taking AP bio and using the Campbell textbook (which I think everyone uses?) I would suggest buying the accompanying study guide. You can get them used for cheap on Amazon. I never got one, but my friends had them and all used them to study for tests and then the exam itself. It gives you a lot of chapter summaries, key points, practice multiple choice and practice essays. It also probably saves you time if you’re rushed and can’t fully read a chapter one night.</p>
<p>If you’re taking AP English, you should know that “alot” is not a word.</p>
<p>AP English and AP US History are two classes with the highest workloads out of all AP classes. AP Bio, for some reason, is also, although the AP test is really easy. So, you’re taking a tougher load than many others who take 5 AP sciences, compsci and math - which is actually not a big courseload in terms of work. Basically, don’t procrastinate at all. Start homework at once, don’t waste time studying just do the homework that is actually due (e.g. if notes are not being checked, don’t read / do them). Then, do the homework that isn’t due (now is the time to take notes, and read, and stuff. Take short notes, don’t write down half the book.) Then, if you really need to, after all that is done you can take 15 minutes (or however long you need) to study for each course.</p>
<p>I know exactly how you feel. I did many EC’s and many AP Classes. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1002497-chance-me-might-get.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1002497-chance-me-might-get.html</a> </p>
<p>You can check out my HS Schedule there and compare. I managed to go to bed around 9 almost every day…maybe because I’m a holistic learner. I used my summer of freshman year to visit the following website and learn holistic memory.

<p>I highly recommend checking the website out as it has helped me a lot during HS…and please look at my HS Schedule too</p>
<p>Don’t feel bad, you’re taking pretty much three of the most work-intensive AP classes. AP Bio is very easy but can have a LOT of work. APUSH can have even more work. AP Language is another course that can have tons of work. You might have considered taking different AP courses in order to reduce your workload. I mean, AP Calc AB/BC, AP Physics B/C, AP European History, any AP Foreign Language, AP Computer Science, AP Psychology, AP Stats, AP Studio Art, and more are all courses that look very good on college transcripts yet have much less work than for example APUSH. AP English can vary greatly, as can AP Bio, and you seem to be unlucky since they both have a huge workload for you.</p>
<p>^I beg to differ. I barely had any work for APUSH (got 5 and 790), yet am pretty swamped in AP Physics C.</p>
