Will 1 AP Make a difference?

<p>I'm going on senior year with 5 AP's.</p>

<p>Stats, Calc BC, Physics, Lit, and Micro/Econ.</p>

<p>The summer work load is huge, and I don't think I can finish the lit work. We have to read/analyze 3 books, I got the short one done. The next two are: a 500 page book and a 300 page book (poisonwood bible and the violent bear it away).</p>

<p>I just feel like I can't finish these by August 13th. I also have to read a 200+ page book for micro/econ and 30 calculus problems. (easy)</p>

<p>So I was thinking about dropping into regular english. Thoughts? Should I just devote the rest of my summer for the lit work? (I'm a very slow reader..)</p>

<p>And will dropping the AP Lit make a big difference on my transcript? (for UCs)</p>

<p>No, drop it
4 AP’s are still ridiculuous</p>

<p>i think you’ve tricked yourself into believing you have to read the books… use sparknotes man</p>

<p>Why’d you sign up for the class if you knew it’d be like that?</p>

5

<p>If you don’t think you can finish, you can always drop the class but still take the AP test. Colleges aren’t going to say “OOHH, you only have 4 APs instead of 5! Rejected!”</p>

<p>You don’t know what the summer hw is until the end of the school year (after you’ve signed up).</p>

<p>Well, from what you’ve told us, you sound like you already know you can’t handle the workload and keep up your grades at the same time. I’d say drop it. </p>

<p>It is senior year after all. You need to factor in the inevitable.</p>
