I see kids on here taking 4-5 APs a year like it’s nothing. For those of you that do, are you the only ones in your grade in that class? For example, all the “high honors” people (including myself) are taking Geometry ACC at this year as a sophomore. There is ONE a girl in my grade that it taking Pre-Calc this year, and plans to take AP Calc BC junior year, whereas everyone else will senior year. This year I just took AP Stats. Most people that took APs this year took either that or AP Environmental Science Next year I plan to take APUSH, AP Lang+Comp, and AP Physics 1; it’s the path that most other high honorees are doing. Senior year I plan to take AP Lit, AP Physics 2, AP Calc BC, AP Spanish, and maybe AP Chem.
Here is my rough schedule plan:
10th (this is a verbatim schedule)
Chem L1
Geom ACC
Us 1 ACC
Pre AP Eng
AP Stats
Gym/Study
Spanish 2 ACC
11th:
Pre-Calc ACC
AP Phys 1
AP Lang+Comp
AP US Hist
Spanish 3 ACC
Trigonometry
Gym/study
12th
AP Calc BC
AP Chem
AP Phys 2
AP Lit
AP Spanish
(Elective)
Study
Relative to this site, I’m on par if not under par of what people are doing. Relative to my school, I’m doing above par, seeing as how hardly any kids in my grade plan to take 5 APs senior year. I’m not too sure about the AP Chem yet, and I planned to take it for junior year but my teacher INSISTED I take Trig before AP Calc, so I’m kind of screwed there. I don’t know what to do. I want to look Ivy in terms of my classes, but it baffles me how differently schools run and how their expectations and how the students of those schools vary their expectations as well. Should I try to fit more APs in? I can handle it I’m pretty sure, I’m 9th in my class and slowly rising every quarter thus far. I don’t know what to do at this point.
