Will 4 ap classes be too much pressure?

<p>Hi, i am going to be junior next year and here is my schedule.
AP Eng Lang
AP US History
AP Physics
AP Calculus BC
Spanish 3
Web Development
PE</p>

<p>I have PreCalc right now. So, i am skipping AP Calc AB. I have always been getting As in maths. I love math but my seniors were saying BC may seem too fast if i dont take AB.</p>

<p>AP Physics will not be problem for me, I love science and I am confident to ace it.</p>

<p>I extremely feel interested in knowing various histories. But i dont know how difficult APUSH will be.</p>

<p>I feel I am average in English even though i have straight As here. Actually, English is my third language. My present English teacher is also AP English teacher. He is recommending to take AP English as it will help me in SAT and in future. He also assured me to help me at his best.</p>

<p>I dont have any idea how Spanish 3 will be. Spanish 1 and 2 were really easy.</p>

<p>Web Development is my 'passion'.</p>

<p>I have to take PE to complete my graduation requirements </p>

<p>My question is will the schedule be too hard/pressure for me??</p>

<p>Since it seems like you really have the teacher’s support, I would go ahead and take AP Language and Composition. Your teacher seems to be aware that you may have difficulties. At the same time, I think that the fact that your teacher is encouraging you shows that he feels from your work this year that you’d be able to handle it.</p>

<p>I would be hesitant about taking AP Calculus BC without taking AB, but that might just be me. If you understand concepts easily, I would say to go for it, but personally I wouldn’t feel comfortable. I heard that AP Calculus AB pretty much covers the first half BC, so it would be beneficial, but it isn’t completely necessary.</p>

<p>As to whether or not four AP classes will be too much pressure really decides on you. If you’ve taken rigorous course loads in the past, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, but if it’s a steep transition, it may be difficult for a while. Also, your extracurricular activities might conflict if you’re involved in a lot.</p>

<p>I play chess and design/develop websites.I attended competitions and won many of them for both chess and web designing. And i also play piano for fun. Now i am learning about creating Apps. Thts all about my extracurriculars.</p>

<p>I think that you should be fine, honestly. I guess it just matters that you leave enough time to study and make sure you understand the content.</p>

<p>My only concern would be how the Calc BC class is structured. If the class is covering both the topics in AB and BC, you should be fine, If the class only covers the BC topics, you won’t learn 60% of what you need to know for the exam.</p>

<p>Thanks @awakeningvenus‌, i hope so… :)</p>

<p>@skieurope‌, i came to know tht BC covers AB stuffs too. My seniors said that as BC is covering both, it goes so fast. That’s where my concern is… that can i cope up with BC as i will have 3 other APs with it??</p>

<p>It’s challenging but not impossible. 4 AP’s is not a challenge, but those 4 are among the most challenging. If you think you are up for the task, go for it.</p>

<p>Thats where i am most worried… can i do it?? could others survive and ace these??? these questions are always wandering in my head… i really dunno what to do</p>

<p>Others have done it and survived. I’m taking AP Eng Lang, APUSH, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, AP Spanish, and a post-AP Physics class this year, and I’ve survived. Nobody here though can tell you how it will work out for you.</p>

<p>Can you please tell me what are the maths come after Calculus BC serially?? (i knw there is no AP probably, bt including college classes??) so as u have linear algebra, did u do BC in sophomore year?</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about it (BC will be my last math class before college), but I think it then goes Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and something else (name escapes me) in no particular order.</p>

<p>Yes, I did BC sophomore year. After BC comes, in no particular order, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations.</p>
