What should my senior schedule be?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Right now I’m taking AP stats, AP Earth Science, AP Lang, and AP US history as well as Honors Engineering, and next year I want to take AP Calc (AB and BC), AP physics(1 and 2), AP Comp Science, a college engineering class, Honors English, and Current Events.
The thing is, I know for a fact my schedule will be very tough as all of the AP classes are some of the hardest ones in my school. AP physics is considered the hardest as very few people can get an A, AP calc turns people who are used to math being easy to struggling with it, and almost no one got an A in the second half of AP computer science. I don’t know about my Engineering class but English and Current Events are very easy classes that I’m only taking because a history and English class are required to graduate.

I think I can get an A in Calc because I am about as good at math as my friends that have an A in Calc right now. They have low As, but they also don’t do the homework which is supposed to be really helpful for the test. Plus my friend wants to practice Calculus so he can prepare for Calc 3 in a few years, he currently has a 98% in the class and offered to tutor me.
AP physics is going to be very difficult and I don’ think I’ll be able to get an A in the class because the tests are supposed to be quite different from the notes. From what I heard AP comp science is hard 2nd semester but generally 1st semester is simpler.

I truly want to take the AP classes because I know they will help me, but right now my AP classes have me overworked and burned out. I have 89% in 2 of my classes and feel anxious all the time and next year would only be worse. Do you think I should take this schedule or remove something to relax a little bit more?

This schedule is definitely doable. Calc AB and BC are very, very similar. Physics is just applied calculus. Computer Science is the only iffy one, but if you have experience it’s a breeze. Only thing I could suggest is to skip AB entirely as it is so similar to BC. That being said, taking both is is just as fine.

Could you take Calc AB+BC, Physics 1 (not 2), AP CS or Engineering, then English and Current Events?
(Have you reached level 3 in a foreign language? if not and you’re aiming for a selective college, try to include it as most selective colleges expect it)

I agree with MYOS1634.
there is no need to take a college engineering class with the heavy work load you will be carrying. That is asking for GPA suicide.
During your first semester, instead, give yourself a free period to do homework, study , eat , breathe and compete what could be very time consuming college applications!

I agree with above, because I don’t think you need to take both Physics 1 and 2 at the same time.
