<p>UGHHHHH So confuse on what to do:</p>

<p>AP Human Geography
AP Psychology
AP Environmental Science
AP US History (US history is a junior class at my school, so I'd be ahead)
Honors Pre cal (this isn't an AP but math is hard for me so I'm listing it)</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>AP Human Geography
AP Psychology
AP Environmental Science
AP Statistics (math elective)
Honors Pre Cal</p>

<p>or
AP Human Geography
AP Psychology
AP Environmental Science
AP European History (Hard teacher, but looks cool, elective)
Honors Pre cal</p>

<p>If you’re bad at math, don’t go with option 2. I don’t understand the logic of “oh i’m not good at math, but i’m going to take an AP class in it anyways”.</p>

<p>So either 1 or 3. Personally I found Euro/World History to be far more interesting than USH, so i’d lean towards 3.</p>

<p>One word of advice: Do NOT take psych and env in the same year. The AP exams are on the same day. If your school is like mine, there’s no break in between. I can guarantee that that’s why I only got a 3 on psych. I knew the FRQs, but I was too burnt out. Looking back now, I could’ve easily answered them way better than I did.</p>

<p>Oh and I’d do number 1 but substitute either psych or env for something else.</p>

4

<p>Well I have my classes set as the second choice but I’m rethinking it just in case I want to change them. These are my second semester classes anyways</p>

<p>^ At our school, we submit a form for our course requests at the end of the year, but the schedule aren’t given their actual schedule until the first day of school, so the students are able to tweak their schedule however they need to for the first two weeks.</p>

<p>OP, you are not bad at math, by the way. You are two years ahead of schedule. If you were bad at math, you shouldn’t be in Pre-Calc as a sophomore, so trust me, you’re pretty darn good at math. I would go with option 2, personally.</p>

<p>Thank you Rob, math has never been my thing, I get by, but I am always the one that struggles the most compared to the other brainiac kids.</p>

<p>I would stick with Stats. You’re already taking two social studies APs (even if they are easier). APUSH and Euro require a lot of work, so just take them junior/senior year.</p>

8

<p>If it were me, I would want to prove to myself that I could handle math even if it’s not “my thing.”</p>

9

<p>Mhhmm Thats what my dad told me to do @sgt
I’ll just stick with stats I suppose</p>

<p>@AlexHarper: You’re so lucky that you’re allowed to take all those APs as a sophmore!! By the way, is your username reffering to the Wizards of Waverly Place?</p>

<p>■■■■ I LOVED THAT SHOW!
Why did they cancel it!</p>

12

<p>They didn’t cancel it, they had the wizard competition and thats basically the end!</p>

<p>No my name actually is alex harper lol, but I get a lot of people asking me that
lol</p>

13

<p>Basically reposting what they said - take stats if you like (or are good at) math. It’s not a class lots of people take like APUSH or AP English. The only reason I’m taking stats this year is because I love math. Don’t force yourself into another math class.</p>

<p>Beware that Psych and Environmental have their exams on the same day, and your brain will be turned to mush by the end of the day.</p>

<p>I would rather take option 3 and take AP stats with AP Calc or something. Considering you have to have US regardless. Now that would be impressive dude.</p>
