What AP Courses are you taking next year?

<p>"Well, at my school, Calc AB/BC is a joint year long course where you get 2 AP credits and then take the BC exam."</p>

<p>I don't think you understand the logic behind that, since there is none. You won't get 16 college credits for taking AB and BC, you'll get 8. There is no point in taking both at the same time, since AB is 2/3 of the course and BC is 3/3 of the course... and Honors Calculus I would just be 1/3 of the course. </p>

<p>"My school is forcing me to take AB before BC"
That sounds feasable, since you may take AB junior year then take BC senior year. Then it seems alright to take the AB exam junior year, BC exam senior year. You cannot take both exams the same year, so I don't understand how a lot of you are saying you're taking both at the same time... its the same course but BC has 3 more chapters or w/e.</p>

<p>Some of you are saying you're taking AP Physics B and AP Physics C at the same time. AP Physics B is basically Honors Physics... you can take Honors Physics at your high school, then take the AP Physics B exam. It just doesn't seem right why you would take both, because AP Physics C has no labs in the course, so why add to the work load when you're only going to take the C exam?</p>

<p>Also, some of you said you took the AP Eng. Language exam this year and are going to take AP Eng. Literature next year. I've heard from a lot of people that AP English Composition consists of all the Literature material but also required writing portions. I'm not saying Literature is at a lower level than Language, but it is defined as easier by most schools. Why would you go from a hard English course to an easy one... just doesn't add up.</p>

<p>I know a few people who are going to take the US Government & Politics and Comparative Government exams, good luck I heard its torture when it comes to memorization.</p>

<p>How come some of you are taking AP Spanish Literature before Spanish Language, I always thought Span. Lit was a second-year AP Spanish course, and required Language before it. Maybe this just applies to my school.</p>

82

<p>as junior- signed up for English H (will be taking AP ENg Lang.)
planning to jump from algebra to AP Calc AB
AP Physics B
AP US History
Maaaaaaaaaybe AP Chem</p>

83

<p>taking AP US next year, i think.</p>

<p>i'm not sure if i can handle it. everyone makes i seem like it's super scary, haha. is it really that bad?!</p>

<p>( next year's schedule for junior year):
ap eng lang
ap us history
ap calculus ab
ap studio art / ap spanish lit, haven't decided
honors chem / AP chem, haven't decided. i've never taken any chem before so jumping from ap bio to ap chem... ehhh.
varsity tennis</p>

84

<p>AP Microeconomics
AP Macroeconomics
AP Calculus BC
AP Government
AP Spanish 4</p>

85

<p>AP Bio
AP Physics B & C
AP Calculus BC (in our school you have to take AB before BC)
AP US Hist</p>

<p>OH and BTW, I just looked thru the thread, and wanted to say - some of you are nuts on overloading with APs.</p>

86

<p>Senior year:
-AP Art History (Haha)
-AP Comparative Gov't
-AP Statistics (I think I'll take Linear Algebra or something at a nearby college. I finished taking multivar this year at my school)
-AP Environmental Science
I was going to take AP Lit, but I opted out. Whoo</p>

<p>I may self-study for Biology and Comp Sci AB</p>

87

<p>Ap Calculus
AP Statisitcs
AP Chemistry
AP Physics
AP English</p>

88

<p>AP Statistics
AP Chemistry
AP English
AP American History</p>

<p>Self Teach:
AP Economics
AP Phys.</p>

89

<p>AP Lit
AP Calc AB
AP Physics
AP Gov
AP Macroeconomics
AP Comparative Gov</p>

90

<p>AP Physics B
AP US History
AP Computer Science AB
AP Environmental Science</p>

91

<p>In-class: Calculus AB, Physics (not sure which one), Chemistry, English Lit.
Independent: Comparative Gov, Environmental Science (possibly)</p>

<p>Our Jazz Band teacher wants people to take Music Theory, yeah right.</p>

92

<p>Classes next year
AP English Language and Composition
AP Computer Science AB
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism</p>

<p>Self-studying next year
AP French Language (taking French V next year, AP on the side)
AP European History
AP US Government
AP Comparative Government
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
AP Psychology</p>

<p>Might self study next year
AP Art History
AP Music Theory</p>

<p>One or the other, probably AP Art History...</p>

93

<p>wait, can you take ap calculus ab and ap calculus bc the same year?
and the same for physics...........can you take ap physics b and ap physics c the same year?</p>

94

<p>Calc BC
Biology
Physics
Lit Comp
Gov.</p>

<p>I'm more of a Science/History person.</p>

<p>Not really into higher level Math (like Calc) but I have nothing else to take.
English, I'm the kind of person that barely gets by with a B</p>

95

<p>AP Physics C credit is taken over AP Physics B credit because C is calculus based and closer to engineering physics. AP Calc BC includes all topics in AB and includes AB and BC subscores...</p>

96

<p>Classes
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C (Both)
AP Chemistry
AP English Literature
AP Macroeconomics (If my schedule allows for it)</p>

<p>Possible Self-Studying
AP Computer Science AB
AP Statistics
AP Psychology
AP Environmental Science</p>

<p>I'll probably self study 2 or 3 of them, but I don't know which yet.</p>

97

<p>Class - AP Statistics
Possible self study - AP Spanish Language</p>

<p>This may not seem like a lot (wow vrdabomb5717!) but I have five IB tests next year also (4 HL, 1 SL).</p>

98

<p>Classes: AP Calc BC, AP Spanish, and "Advanced Chem" which is basically AP Chem</p>

<p>Possibly also taking one or more of: English Lit, Statistics, Physics</p>

99

<p>NONE! Because I'll be at college. hehe</p>

At my school AP Eng Lit is considered a harder course than Eng Lang and is considered a 12th grade course; I think whether the test is harder depends on your perspective. Eng Lang is more persuasive/argumentative writing, which I enjoy. However, literature is more analytical when it comes to books, which plenty of people despise (I'm ambivalent, myself.)</p>
