<p>Everyone in my grade tells me I'm insane. Am I really?</p>
<p>I would ask what APs they are and also take into account what time you have and your work ethic. For instance, AP Calc or Chem versus AP Psych would be two completely different things. I plan on taking 4 APs junior year and 5 senior year as well, but certain classes, as you can imagine, require more of a time commitment than others.</p>
<p>Here’s a VERY rough idea of what those AP classes would be:</p>
<p>9th: Already done and completed
10th: Taking Ap bio, Ap WH, and Ap Studio art 3D(Considered barely an AP class at my school)
11th: Ap Chem., APUSH, Ap Cal-AB, and Ap Lang
12th: Ap Lit, Ap Gov., Ap Cal-BC, Ap Euro History, and either Ap Psysics or Ap Art History</p>
<p>It’d do-able as long as you are dedicated.
I’m doing 4 this year. (Comp Sci, Calc BC, Physics B, Stats)</p>
<p>Based on how things are at my school and what people have to say on these forums, I’d say that your junior year looks most challenging, the general consensus being that Calc, Chem and APUSH are all considered difficult courses (which is relative, anyhow). </p>
<p>Depending on the teacher and yourself you should be able to push through, regardless. I think you’ll be ok senior year. I wonder whether you meant to type AP Psych or Physics, but either way I think you’ll do ok. You can speak with the AP teachers for next year from now as I’m currently doing and judge yourself based on your current progress.</p>
<p>no 4-5 ap’s are doable. I did 4 in my junior year. And will do 4 my senior year. Just make sure you really put effort into studying for them.</p>
<p>i think the amount of AP’s you are doing as long as you can manage it yourself. I did 4 both my junior and senior years as well and its not that bad as long as you are interested in the topics and not just taking the class to take an ap</p>
<p>Also the AP tests are easy generally and they give you college credit so why not take as many as you can handle?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say AP exams are easy. Also remember, just cause you take an AP class doesn’t mean you have to take the exam- some do it for the gpa. That’s kinda true for me, I’m in 6 AP but will only take 4 exams (won’t take music theory or environmental sci)</p>
<p>Sophomore year, you’ll have a lot to memorize, and, junior year, you will have the greatest homework load possible, just from Chem and APUSH. </p>
<p>Senior year should be relaxing, though Euro will probably be a lot of work. I always wonder how they slow BC down enough to make it a second full year after AB. </p>
<p>But why plan it all out now?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, same as how they slow AB down to take a whole year instead of a semester or slightly more that the same material would take in college.</p>
<p>Better high schools would offer BC as a one year course for students who have just completed precalculus (i.e. same speed as a college course, not half speed like the high schools that make you take AB one year, then the rest of BC the next year).</p>
<p>A lot of other AP courses are commonly one year high school courses that cover what a one semester college course covers (e.g. psychology, statistics, human geography, environmental science, chemistry, physics C mechanics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, US government). So be careful of equating AP courses to actual college courses that cover the material at a much faster pace. And some of these are normally considered to be easy college courses at most colleges.</p>
<p>lol I totally agree , junior year was the toughest year ever</p>
<p>Your AP Schedule looks alright, I actually wish I distributed my APs out more evenly like urs</p>
<p>2 during freshman year is manageable and so is 3 during soph. year
ur junior/senior years are challenging but keep motivated and it’ll be doable</p>
<p>I think it’s fine. I did 4 soph + junior year, and I’m doing 6 this year and it’s not that bad.</p>
<p>Hey, join the club of insane-juggling-five-AP-classes students. We lack sleep and we carry a lot of books.</p>
<p>taking 5 AP/Aice classes as a sophmore /: not that bad, but my sleeping schedule is terrible.
next year im taking 6 AP/Aice
and Senior year im taking 7APs</p>

<p>Junior year sounds like fun. . .</p>
<p>“Hey, join the club of insane-juggling-five-AP-classes students. We lack sleep and we carry a lot of books.”</p>
<p>This is so true it hurts.</p>
<p>Lol, agree with above.</p>
<p>Here’s my schedule for comparison:</p>
<p>Freshman: 0
Sophomore: 2 AP classes
Junior: 6 AP classes and 8 exams (took AP Physics C and AP Econ, both of which have two exams)
Senior: 4 AP classes </p>
<p>The only illegitimate AP I took was AP Psych in senior year (didn’t have any other class that fit my schedule). </p>
<p>You schedule is fine, but I’d strongly recommend taking 5 AP’s in junior year and 4 AP’s (or fewer) in senior year. You’ll have much more work in senior year due to college applications and, possibly, standardized testing. A lot of my friends loaded up on AP’s in senior year because they didn’t take “enough” of them in junior year. They all deeply regretted their decisions and wish they had taken more AP’s as juniors. </p>
<p>Trust me, you don’t have a crazy senior schedule. Take all your difficult AP’s in junior year and take the easier ones in senior year. That way, your transcript will look better and you’ll have more time for applications.</p>
