Which AP Classes to take Junior and Senior year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

I’m going to be a Junior next year and I was wondering which APs I should take next year out of the following choices. I already took APHUG freshman year and APUSH sophomore year (got a 5 on both). Which APs out of the same list should I take my senior year and which should I leave out if I don’t have room:
AP World History (have to take ap or cp to meet grad requirements, APUSH is supposedly harder, Junior Year only)
AP Econ/AP Politcal Science(have to take ap or cp to meet grad requirements, Senior Year only)
AP English Language (have to take ap or cp to meet grad requirements, Junior Year only)
AP English Literature (have to take ap or cp to meet grad requirements, Senior Year only)
AP Psychology (elective, I’m pretty interested in Psychology, but not sure if I have room in my schedule)
AP Calculus BC (elective, but just took Honors Precalc)
AP Statistics (elective, student in Honors-Precalc sophomore year usually do calc as juniors and than stats as senior)
AP Computer Science (elective)
AP Chemistry (elective,Just took Honors-Chemistry)
AP Physics (elective, heard it’s useful to learn for college)
AP Biology (elective, Took Bio freshman year)
AP Environmental Science (Heard it’s busy work, but super easy)

I plan to take 6 classes next year and 5 senior year, but with a sport it becomes 5 academic classes next year and 4 senior year. My junior year schedule will include: 1. English (AP/CP) 2. World History (AP/CP) 3. Foreign Language 1 (CP) and I have two more choices (if I add a zero period then I can have an additional class, but it depends on what classes are suggested to me). Senior year: 1. English (AP/CP) 2. Econ/ Political Science (AP/CP) 3. Foreign Language 2 (CP) and will have one more academic since seniors only need 5 classes total, but if conviced I’ll add another period since I’m used to having 5 academic classes and could even add a zero. I know this is a long post and I’m sorry, but please share your guys’ thoughts on what I should take, when I should take it, and what subjects to forget about (it can be because it’s to hard or easy, not needed for college, waste of time, etc.). Also maybe any APs I should self study instead whether it be the class is way harder than the exam or taking the class is just not worth filling up my schedule and can be self studies. Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure how you got a 5 on APUSH when the test was 2 days ago.

The suggestion above works for me, IMO

@skieurope The test was so easy that I’m positive I got a 5.

@IAmNotCreativ @skieurope Yeah that’s the kind of schedule I was going to go with. I’ll choose AP Chemistry Junior year since I just took it and Physics senior year since people who have taken it have told me that it’s much easier to understand in college. What would you suggest between AP Comp Sci, AP Psych, and AP Stats in terms of easiness of class or AP Test or what’s more useful for college or what looks better for college.

Are you interested in computer science? If not, don’t take that class.
Pick whichever class seems most interesting and has a good teacher.

@IAmNotCreativ thanks

just based off of the most useful classes, id definitely go for AP Lang (pretty easy), AP Lit, WHAP (super super easy) , AP physics (if you’re good at algebra). the others i’d pick based off of your possible future career path.
