<p>Ok. In my only AP class this year we had an average of ~2 hours of homework a night. It varied though … and it sucked! Lol</p>
<p>As a Sophmore, you were only allowed to take this one AP… and I took it.</p>
<p>Should be fine.</p>
<p>Took 3AP’s as a sophomore (Calc BC, Bio, and World) when we’re only allowed to take 1 (counselor loves me and made an exception); 4.0 UW and 5.0 W. A little bit of a shock in the beginning of the year (first AP classes I took) but you’ll get used to it. We always do.</p>
<p>My social life is a little sub-par though, but still fairly healthy.</p>
<p>You’re going to be a Junior. If your year isn’t overwhelming, you’re doing something wrong.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You have to partition your homework schedule based on the importance of completing that homework, as well as the wide range of nightly hours assigned for each class. For example, if you’re a strong math student, you can skip homework for calc and work on a class you’re not as good in. </p>
<p>You’ll need to learn how to choose your battles if you want to retain your health.</p>
<p>Haha, if I want to retain my health? Lol, sounds scary!</p>
<p>I never found studying especially necessary, except for a few occasions. I just did the homework and reviewed the material the night before the test if necessary. The key to success is knowing how much work you have to put in personally. Nobody here can tell you that.</p>
<p>I was a Junior this year. Generally got home at 5:45 PM. I did very well for myself academically. Here is my advice.</p>
<p>1) power through the beginning. you WILL get tired, but you will adapt to the workload if you hang in there throughout september/october. </p>
<p>2) you’ve gotta cut the stuff you currently do to kill time. there were two week stretches this year when I used the computer ZERO times outside of school work, but because of this sacrifice I was able to spend more of my weekend at parties or on dates. oh, and remember how you used to be a 24 and American Idol fan? not anymore.</p>
<p>So I’ve taken Bio, APUSH, and English Language, so maybe I can help. English Lang, at least at my school, was pretty joke-ish. So that shouldn’t be too much for you. It was a lot of writing, but not very difficult writing. And because it’s second semester, you will probably have gotten into a groove with your other three classes by then. Now Biology and APUSH, I felt, were not difficult to understand, and their difficulty really lies in the large amount of information. Make sure you do the reading, that’s really the key to an A, and eventually a 5, in both classes. I have lots of ECs too, so I feel your pain, but it’s possible.</p>
<p>see there are too many geniuses on here for this to be a well answered question… it really does depend on the person. Some students have to study their butts off to get the same grades that people who don’t study to get. It is all relative to whether or not you listen in class. Also if you have a free period you will have time to study, and won’t need to do too much homework at your house. Honestly if you set yourself up to get an A, and work hard, and don’t fool around during the time you have to do homework, you should be fine. Good luck.</p>
<p>Alrighty!</p>
<p>And how did people find time to study for ACT/SAT tests while doing this too?</p>
<p>^ studied a decent amount(4-5 hours per week) over the summer and 2370’d in October</p>
