Which class is better?

<p>Hi all,
I am going to be a junior in high school next year and I am struggling as to what I should take. At my school, we have a 4x4 schedule in case you're confused.</p>

<p>(The left is the first part of the year and the right side is the other).
Option 1:
AP US | AP Eng
Pre-Calc Honors | AP Physics B
Physics | AP Studio 2D
Painting | Free period</p>

<p>Option 2:
AP US | AP Eng
Pre-Calc Honors | AP Environmental
AP Psych | Physics
Free | Painting </p>

<p>My real question is, would it be better to take 2D studio and Physics B? Also, do you need Calc for Physics C? Or should I just cut Physics B and take that senior year and take APES and AP Psych? </p>

<p>I just thought that taking AP 2D will help me prepare some pieces for my portfolio... Anyways I was wondering what you think I should take next year if I am aspiring to be an architect.</p>

<p>Feel free to suggest another configuration from: AP US, AP Physics B, AP Psych, Physics, AP 2D, Painting, PreCalc-Honors, AP Environmental or AP Eng</p>

<p>Any response or suggestion is appreciated. :)</p>

<p>Calculus is required for C: Mechanics (derivatives and integrations), and you need knowledge of simple multivariable for C: Electricity & Magnetism. If you want to be an Architect, go for AP Enviro, it’s good to have background knowledge in that field when you enter Architecture. I’m doing AP Physics and AP Enviro next year for senior year. I’d wait on AP Physics too, unless you want to do it.</p>

<p>I think option 1 sounds better :)</p>

<p>Ok thank you for the response. I think it will be…
AP US | AP Environmental
Pre-Calc H | AP English
Physics | AP 2D
Painting | Free period</p>

<p>Cool. I think AP 2D Design will be really helpful because you can put all the artwork that you did into the portfolios for some of the colleges that require them. It was especially helpful for me because before 11th grade, I didn’t have any art courses so I needed a lot of pieces done in a short amount of time.</p>
