See post #8. Beware trying to impress colleges to the detriment of your health (mental and physical). Six might backfire. Yes you want rigor…but you also want to pace yourself. For example, your post should have included your proposed senior year schedule, as well. Thanks for explaining the English block, that was helpful for understanding.

Psych can be taken senior year. Supposedly it is one of the “easier” APs so using it to impress for admissions is not a sure thing if that is what you are going for. Bio is supposedly “hard” so so this one might be detrimental to your transcript! Colleges will see that you are taking it senior year, if you choose to do so. But it might be to your advantage to have the actual AP test grade come in AFTER your college admissions .

Sorry if this sounds discouraging but I would be concerned that your strategy might be counterproductive.
