Am i approaching this correctly ? (my classes)

So I’m a sophomore in highschool, last year, my ninth grade year, I took:

  1. World History
  2. Alg II
  3. Spanish 2
  4. HOPE (physical education)
  5. Leadership (we have to take this class… every year)
  6. English
  7. Biology
    (took psychology online)
  • Everything was honors -
    Straight A’s , 4.6 gpa , good student

This year my schedule look like this:

  1. AP Biology
  2. Leadership
  3. Economics
  4. Spanish 3
  5. Student assistant (this was supposed to be psych but they ran out of classes so they gave me this)
  6. English II
  7. AP Calculus AB
  • Everything honors that isn’t already AP -
    background: I was supposed to take precalc this year but they let me dive right into AP Calc… was this the right move, i mean I’m good at math but i still stress about it. Also i really wanted to try AP psych but we don’t have it this year and they’re not allowing FLVS anymore.

What my “academic planning” looks like… I’ll be dual enrolling those last two years (also if anyone has advice or tips or anything about DE it would be much appreciated !) so i only need a few classes on campus:
Junior year - Chemistry and Anatomy/Physiology (i guess i’d be done with math)… and I think U.S. history
Senior year - Physics…

Should i bother taking physics and spread out Chem and Anatomy/Phys ? I want to major in the medical field, obstretrics is what i’m interested in. Should i be taking more AP classes ? What can I do to make the most my last few years ?

(extra question… is it possible to kind of self study somehting – in this case AP psych – and take the exam at a school that has it ?)

Thank you so much !

Yes, take physics. Colleges expect all 3 core sciences.

Yeah, self study is a thing. You have to make sure you have time for other classes, though. Do have extracurriculars?

Take chemistry before you take AP Bio.
I would strongly recommend you take precalculus before you take calculus - talk with your math teacher and see what they think.

You need to take English, Math, history/social science, science, and foreign language every year. For science, you need one each of bio, Chem, physics. You can take Chem and physics concurrently, then take AP Chem and AP bio. For foreign language it’s recommended you reach level 4 or AP if you’re aiming for top universities/LACs, level 3 otherwise.
Your 5th period could be a study hall during which you study AP Psych through FLVS.
