What do you think of my Sophomore Schedule?

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>Honors English 10
Honors Algebra II
Honors Chemistry
AP US History
German II
Health (One Semester)
Personal Finance (One Semester)
Marching Band (Two Periods)
Symphonic Band (Two Period)</p>

<p>I was also considering self studying the following AP's:
AP World History
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
AP Statistics</p>

<p>Do these self studies sound reasonable to accomplish and get fives if I start in September? I plan on full textbook reading, outlining, studying, and essay and problem practice. Any tips for self studying?</p>

</p>

<p>What would be the point of that?</p>

<p>how on earth do you have 10 periods?</p>

<p>and self studying 4 APs as a sophomore lol I rate your schedule 2/10</p>

<p>Well one the main reasons is college credit and placement as well as make my application look better. I enjoy World History and feel I will enjoy self studying it and will learn a lot from the Asia and Africa parts. For Economics, I don’t know much about it but it seems so interesting. I am more interested in Macro and figured if I do that I might as well do micro as well. Does that sound reasonable? Statistics…well…I want more math classes…I love math.</p>

<p>We don’t have 10 periods… we actually have 8. I needed to clarify that Marching Band and Symphonic Band are one semester long each. Is it really that bad of a schedule (2/10)???</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the 2/10 thing was sarcasm. </p>

<p>Whether a given schedule is good or not depends on what’s available at your school.</p>

<p>The question is, could it be any better/more challenging? If not, then it’s fine. If so, tell us how and we can help you judge whether you’d be overextending yourself.</p>

<p>Well do to all the restrictions my school has, those are the hardest classes I could take as well as the most.</p>

8

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, there you go. Colleges will see that you took the hardest courses available to you, and that’s what matters.</p>

<p>It doesn’t look like there are that many restrictions, though. Except for the self-studies I’d consider that a “normal” sophomore schedule for an honors student.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Then you’d probably just need to get a 3 or 4, depending on the school. Not too many schools give credit for a 5 and nothing else (there are a couple, though). </p>

<p>I don’t think you should self-study four, though. Unless you’ve done it before. Maybe pick two and then do more junior year if you like them. This year you’d be better off developing/improving your ECs.</p>

<p>You have a great schedule! It has some very rigorous and challenging courses, but it looks very impressive and you will learn a lot! I rate is 9.5/10</p>

10

<p>If you’re taking the most difficult classes, then this is great. Make sure you can keep your grades up, though.</p>
