<p>I'm going to be a sophomore next year, and this is my schedule. There are five class periods every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday while every Tuesday and Thursday there is a short 40 minute College Prep class. The College Prep ends in April, before AP season starts.</p>
<p>Teacher's Assistant both semesters (mostly study hall, but when I have free time I help with grading, cleaning, etc...)
Drawing 1-Drawing 2
AP Environmental Science
AP United States History
AP Language and Composition</p>
<p>I also got accepted into the Nationals Honors Society and a community work thing. I am a member of my Envirothon team, which is going to put in a lot more work because we made it to the national competition in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>This is my first year taking any AP classes (they didn't offer them to me this year because I was new at the school). All of the AP classes last the whole school year, and only a few give out summer work. I am a very good student, earning straight A's without studying that much AND having no study hall (only around unit tests and finals). I'm just want some advice on how to succeed in these classes and pass at least 2 of the exams (APUSH and AP Lang) while still being able to help NHS, my community, and the Envirothon team. Is my sanity going to survive?</p>
<p>Just make sure you read chapters. You can’t BS tests in AP classes like you can in regular courses. Other than that I don’t think it’ll be too hard. You’ll be busy but it’s manageable.</p>
<p>Depends on how rigorous those classes are at your school. I took three AP’s as a sophomore and did bunch of other stuff and I was fine. Make sure to never fall behind.</p>
<p>“I am a very good student, earning straight A’s without studying that much…” </p>
<p>Personally, I hate comments like this. But it’s fine because you’re a rising Sophomore. Don’t continue this habit throughout high school. You wont get far in college if you half-ass studying. Those AP classes you’re taking all require a LOT of work and reading, especially AP Environmental Science and AP U.S. History. I don’t know too much about AP Language Composition, but I do know that it’s a lot of writing. People choose this class because they love to write. Then again, I don’t know how AP rigor is at your school, but just prepare yourself. Good luck.</p>
<p>Bassoonapus, I chose to take APUSH instead because my grandpa can teach me math for both high school and college credit since he has his doctorate in math. I would do this during the summer because I NEVER do anything in the summer anyway.</p>
