<p>So next year (My junior year), I'll be taking:</p>
<p>Latin II
Algebra II
AP English Lang
AP US History
AP Art History
AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>Any tips on managing, focus classes, summer prep..? </p>
<p>I’ve taken all of those courses with the exception of AP Art History - none of them require a terrible amount of a summer prep (other than the assigned summer work) - as for work load and time management, you’ll probably get the most grief from APUSH (I took Latin III, AP Environmental, and AP English Lang at the same time and the combined work load did not hold a candle to the work I got from APUSH. </p>
<p>None are conceptually intensive - Algebra II is a pretty average math class - I had a terrible time with it because of extenuating circumstances but I bounced back with Pre-Cal and later AP Calc but nevertheless, Algebra II is pretty important as it is the basis of a lot of more advanced math (interpreting graphs, factoring, etc all appear later on in Calculus.) </p>
<p>Environmental is easy - if you do the work (and there’s probably not going to be a terrible amount), you should have no issue keeping up and understanding all the material.</p>
<p>English Lang was another generally easy class - it is just learning how to write the same three formulaic essays over and over again and moderate critical reading skills. </p>
<p>APUSH is not conceptually intense, it is just a LOT of notes and a LOT of reading packed to the brim with nitty gritty details that can become mind numbing to absorb after a while. I survived though, even despite my growing apathy towards it - got a 4 on the exam and an A- in the class, so it certainly isn’t impossible to excel to some degree. </p>
<p>Study strategies for anything? Does anyone take AP Art History</p>
