To Take or Not To Take?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

My schedule for the next school year (JUNIOR YR) is:

  1. AP Lit & Comp (took ap lang last yr)
  2. Mastery Orchestra
  3. AP US History
  4. AP Calculus BC
  5. Spanish II
  6. AP Physics 1
    I am set on taking all my classes except AP Calc BC and AP Lit. Is there anyone who has taken those courses and could tell me how the course is for you? Also do you think my schedule will be manageable? Thank you!!

Your best bet is to ask students who have taken it at your school, as workload depends, in part, on the teacher. In general, the workload in AP Lit is comparable to AP Lang. And if you’re a junior in Calc BC, you should be comfortable in math.

Looks like a good schedule to me. As stated talk to people at your school. My son thought that AP was easier then his all honors schools classes. Maybe he liked the depth more. If there is a regular History class you might want to take that honors or regular.

As ususal, skieurope’s answer is spot on.

Every school will be different so talking to juniors and seniors at your school is your best bet.
