AP Lit will be very time-consuming but it probably will he you a lot in college because of the large amounts of reading and analysis that you will have to do. A little story - I had a class in college (a lower level MicroEcon class incidentally) where the professor pretty much announced at the beginning of class that he does not curve and only 1 to 2 people get As in the class. Now mind you, I didn’t have the greatest GPA in college (around 3.6) but I really buckled down in that class like no other and got that A. So with that, a good student hopefully doesn’t back down from that challenge, assuming the teacher is good. My kid had a very tough teacher but a good teacher for AP Lit with zero sympathy for his plight as an autistic kid. He did get Bs (was a 3.7-3.8 unweighted GPA type of student) but more importantly for him he got a 5 on his AP test.

As for your elective class, I personally generally don’t like elective classes that cover a full year when you could take the class in college in one semester or even one quarter. Psych is a one semester class, Micro is pretty much a one quarter class. Comp Sci A is probably the best class out of the 3 for usefulness but since you’re not going into STEM, meh. Any other choices? Is AP Micro Econ really a full year class at your school? If those were the only choices I’d just go with the one you like the most. AP Psych is an easy class so it would help balance out Lit and Calc (is it AB or BC)?
