Would Bio 1B, Physics 8B, & Math 16A with 2nd level language be too much? free time?

<p>I want to have some time to breathe so I don't want to be studying all day. Right now i have 13 units and I could do with another class or two.</p>

<p>bumpppppp change physics to chem 1a.</p>

<p>yup, too much. less is more if you want a high gpa.</p>

<p>No way anyone can pass with a schedule like that.</p>

<p>how about bio 1b, chem 1a, lanuage level 2, and and easy elective?</p>

<p>The main issue is not with 16A. 16A is the easiest of those four courses.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that languages are very time consuming, and combining that with Bio 1B and Chem 1A is not a good idea.</p>

<p>really? aren’t they both not too bad? the IB planning sheet puts that together or chem 1a and math 16a together. Also, if I’m interested in an emphasis from MCB, should i just major in IB because of the whole gpa thing?</p>

<p>bio 1b, physics 8b, and math + something easy shouldn’t be too bad. the language might be pushing it tho.</p>

<p>actually its bio 1b, chem 1a, and maybe math now. but i guess it’d be the same answer.</p>

<p>chem 1a in spring, as i’ve heard, is much easier. so, that schedule looks pretty good imo.</p>

<p>yeah, that’s what i was thinking.</p>

<p>I was just wondering, why is Chem 1A easier in the spring?</p>

<p>nitsche gives extra credit + easy tests</p>

<p>Okay, thanks. My son is taking it right now and doing fine, but I was just curious as to what was different about the class in the spring. I didn’t know there was a difference in difficulty of classes between the fall and spring.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s too much. It really depends on if you can handle the workload. I know plenty of people who can succeed with that course load with relative ease, especially if they’ve taken the AP-equivalents in high school. There’s far harder schedules out there (mine included) so don’t get boggled down by the numbers. If you think you’re about the average Cal student, I would say to try it out and you could always drop a course and enroll in a 2 unit if you can’t handle it.</p>

<p>okay thank you!</p>
