Preparing for Sophomore Year?

I've asked this before, but want some more tips as I get closer to the beginning of school

Presumed Schedule:

Honors English II
AP Psych
AP Physics AB
AP Calc (whichever the first one is, AB or B or whatever)

Honors Civics and Economics
AP Psych
AP Physics AB (possibly BC, dont know)
AP Calc (whichever the second one is, BC or C or whatever)

...
Not sure if Physics and Calc take up 4 or 2 course spots but whatever, if its only 2 then I'll be taking Honors French III aswell.

Anyways, any suggestions on preparing for these classes and getting ready for the school year?

Any good books you might've used to self study calc or physics that I could use to get ahead before the class? Thanks!

You're not taking any kind of English or history? What kind of school do you go to?

Nevermind, didn't look at the schedule closely enough

History: Civics and Economics
English: English 10

you don't need any books to self-study or whatever with except the textbooks themselves (unless for Physics B you have f'ing Cutnell & Johnson, possibly worst textbook of all time). I like halliday, resnick for physics.

I can not stress the phrase "Study until you can't study anymore." to you enough. AP Classes are no joke and you have a tough road ahead. So please don't do anything that will ruin this year. You'll regret it when you see your GPA. Other than that, don't forget what fun is. I wish you the best of luck!
