<p>What do you think is a good amount of APs to take as a junior?</p>

2

<p>4 is the most any junior at my school is taking, as a class, but i’m taking 1 self study so i have the most in my grade (5) i dunno how it is at other schools though</p>

<p>It really depends on how much work you want to do, and whether you’re interested in the subjects. If you’re interested in them, then take as many as you want. I don’t know about other schools, but some AP classes at my school don’t really give much work. 3 or 4 APs seems to be a good number.</p>

4

<p>My school is really competitive (we’re in the top 50~75 of the US, >80% asian)
Any honors student hoping to make it into a decent college (UCB or better) would take at least 3. the average is 4, but a lot manage 6.</p>

<p>“Decent college (UCB or better)”</p>

<p>^ Wow, that is such a load of bull. UCB is one of the top 50 schools in the country, no doubt. This kid is nuts and it is probably because of his school environment ^</p>

<p>Okay… if you want to be like on track for what the juniors are doing:</p>

<p>Top 5%: Four or More
Top 5-10%: Three
Top 10-30%: One or Two
Rest: None</p>

6

<p>I took five last year as a junior, and it wasn’t that bad.</p>

<p>I think three or four is quite manageable depending on which ones you take.</p>

7

<p>I’m taking five as a junior (self-studying three). I think that’ll be the most at my school.</p>

<p>It really depends on the context of your school…</p>

<p>What about sophomores? lol</p>

9

<p>I took 6 APs as a Junior.</p>

10

<p>Took 5 APs as a junior, US Govt, French Lang, Eng Lang, Bio, and Phys B. Most people at my school only do 1-3 their junior year (yeah it’s not that competitive) although I think there was one person, a senior, last year who took 6 AP tests.</p>
