Hello CC,

I am a sophomore in High School and I am planning out the Fall 2017 Semester Course Load:

HS:
World History (Online)
Academic Decathlon (MTTHF, 6:54 A.M. to 7:54 A.M.)
AP Spanish Lit/Lang (MTWTHF, 7:54 A.M. to 8:54 A.M.)
AP Literature (MTWTHF, 8:54 A.M. to 9:54 A.M.)
Orchestra (T, 6:15 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.)

Community College:
HIST-17B (Online) Equiv to US Hist II
CHEM-04A (MWF, 10:00 - 10:50 A.M.) Equiv. AP Chemistry (3 Hour Lab twice a week)
MATH-04C (MTWTH, 11:00 - 11:50 A.M.) Equiv. Multivariable Calculus
PHYS-04A (MWF, 1:00 - 1:50 P.M.) Equiv. AP Physics
MATH-08 (TTH, 12:30 - 1:45 P.M.) Equiv. Linear Algebra
MATH-10 (MW, 2:00 - 3:15 p.m.) Equiv. to AP Stats

I am currently taking 8 High School Classes (2 AP) and 3 College Classes (Bio, Eng, and History).
I am handling the current classes fine (all A+s) but I want to ask so that experienced CCr’s are able to give me feedback on the Courseload.

Thank you in advance for any advice!

A full time college student would ordinarily take about 15-16 credit units per semester or quarter. For each credit unit, the total time spent per week is 3 hours, so a 15-16 credit unit course load should take 45-48 hours per week, including both class time and out-of-class time. However, some courses (e.g. those with labs) may take more time per credit than other courses, and stronger students may take less time than other students for a given course.

Ok, I will restructure the schedule according to that–Thank you.
