<p>But I didn't realy study that well for those two AP tests. Although I studied a total of 10 hours each three days before the Exam, that's about it and I know I should have started a lot earlier which is what I'm planning to do this year.
All the AP classes of course require AP Exam at the end of the year to count as AP credits so I won't bother if I'm taking the exams or not.
This year:
APUSH
H English (will take AP Exam)
H Chemistry (will take AP Exam)
H Math Analysis (is there an AP Exam?)</p>
<p>Senior year:
H Statistics? (Will take AP Exam)
AP English Literature or was it Language?
AP French
H Physics (might take AP Exam)</p>
<p>Oh and subject II tests: Both this year and next year
Math
English
Chem/Physics/maybe a history subject?</p>
<p>Is this too much? I know the 3s make me look like not a really smart person but I know I can do better than that and I plan on succeeding. Do you think I should do all this? Or do you think I should cut down on some of the tougher subjects and do one or two easier AP Exams like psychology and such?</p>
<p>Oh and the only reason why I’m taking Honors classes instead of AP is because my school doesn’t offer a lot of AP classes but they allow honors student to take the exam, which I think goes along with every other school.</p>
<p>I think you’re pushing for way too much out of the honors courses. There are two version of physics, one calculus based (C) and one not (B). The latter is a lot easier than the calculus based one. As long as you take the AP English course, you should be able to take that exam, but I wouldn’t recommend using an honors English class to prepare unless you’re going to study a lot on your own. Most universities only accept one credit anyway. Chem is going to be very hard with just an honors course as well. I took a class for it and I only got a three, when all the others I’ve taken were 5s (one with the same teacher). Unless you want to basically self study these and just use the course for a basis to start on, I wouldn’t recommend doing that.</p>
<p>Hahahahah AP Chem without an AP class? That’s suicide. And AP English Language is going to be extremely time consuming without an AP class to prep you for it.</p>
<p>Took 10 AP exams this year, so I guess I’m qualified to answer?</p>
<p>1) I feel that I could have done well on the AP Chem exam with just my honors chem class and some extra studying. Then again, I’m a mathy person - I self-studied for all the AP Physics exams and AP Calc BC - so you may be different. Take a look at an AP Chem prep book after a month or two of your chem class and see if you feel comfortable doing the rest alongside your class.</p>
<p>2) AP English Lang was fairly easy, especially the MC. I took honors English (got a B+ second semester…) and did minimal studying outside of class. I highly suggest not doing easy AP exams unless you’re actually interested in the material or you plan on going to a school that awards AP credit like candy. It mostly just wastes time you could spend on more solid AP exams, SATs, ECs, etc.</p>
<p>3) In your situation, I would take Math 2, Chem, and US History this year. Unless you do badly on more than one of these, there won’t be any reason to take an SAT 2 your senior year so you can focus on college apps. Don’t try Lit unless you think SAT CR is pretty easy.</p>
<p>For APUSH, all I did was read over the summary in the Princeton Review Prep Book over the course of 2-3 days before the exam. Got a 4.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, it’s not really worth studying for AP English Language. If your English class does passage based in-class writings from time to time, that usually sufficient enough for “prepping”. Our school doesn’t even have an AP Eng Lan course, but the average score is like a 4.4</p>
<p>Foreign language AP was my first language, so that didn’t really require any studying.</p>
