<p>Call me crazy but I’m kind of excited :P</p>
<p>^Me too. This summer is proving to be pretty stressful so far though, so I don’t know how much more I’ll have in me. </p>
<p>I honestly think I, and probably everyone else here can do really well as long as they manage everything properly, i.e. sleeping enough, eating enough, not overloading on ECs and classes, taking some time off everyday etc. </p>
<p>I’m not too good at the managing time/sleeping/eating stuff, but I’m working on it. I’m also trying to cut down on my internet time too. </p>
<p>To avoid looking like a crazy maniac who “trains” for this year 
, this for junior year really, but overall, to live a healthier lifestyle and be more happy. I’m sure most people on this thread are high achievers that will pursue difficult careers, so junior year won’t be the end of stress for us. Thus, it makes sense to figure out what works now rather than struggle blindly through everything when it comes. </p>
<p>/end ramble</p>
<p>I’m trying to work on doing my homework because honestly I rarely do it. And sleep. last year some nights I would get 6 hours or less.</p>
<p>I’m going into junior year this fall also…not excited for it haha
Currently taking US History in summer school to fit in more classes during the school year, which is a pain cuz I hate history in general, I have to sit through it for 5 hours every day in the summer. plus ACT tutoring and practice tests… volunteering at 2 hospitals this summer also. I got my AP Bio test result 2 days ago and i got a 5!! </p>
<p>My Junior year classes schedule
- AP Physics B
- Pre-Calculus Honors
- AP Chemistry
- Spanish 4 Honors
- Symphony Orchestra
- Physical Education
- AP Language & Composition</p>
<p>haha im focusing on sat and not act</p>
<p>my schedule next year is</p>
<p>honors english, honors mandarin 3, honors biology, ap chem, ap calc ab, apush, orchestra and im gonna self-study apbio</p>
<p>^ I literally fail at SAT. Not to mention I once fell asleep while taking it. lol
AP bio self study shoulding be too bad…I took it last year as a sophomore. it was a fun class. challenging tests though, but ended up getting A’s both semesters, and 5 on the ap test. good luck!</p>
<p>I just the hope the new AP Biology curriculum is excellent and on point. Maybe the new curriculum change will help me focus on AP Chemistry as well.</p>
<p>I heard the new AP Bio curriculum is more lab-based?</p>
<p>Guys, we’ll be juniors next year… scared?</p>
<p>my schedule for next year:</p>
<p>AP Psych
AP Bio
AP Lang
AP Calc BC
AP Econ
Spanish 4</p>
<p>(should i switch spanish/econ for AP Art?)</p>
<p>Ahhh AP Bio!! yay. loved that class when i took it.<br>
take AP Art instead of econ… keep spanish.</p>
<p>im excited for bio! take ap art! uh…idk, ur courseload might be too much for a junior??? eh…keep spanish. dont take 6 ap’s junior year.</p>
<p>Nivers 1027, have you heard about the course load?? I’ve heard that AP Art has a huge courseload, but I’m more passionate about art than i am towards spanish/econ. Spanish/Econ I think would be Easy As for me. What do you guys think? Passion vs. Time/GPA?</p>
<p>Take AP Art your senior year</p>
<p>@ceyago Passion.</p>
<p>Hey guys
I’m taking:
Ap Spanish
Ap calc AB
Ap Lang
Ap physics
Ap gov
Honors English 11(Brit lit)
Regular calc</p>
<p>I’m thinking about self studying ap micro and ap macro …wat do u guys think?</p>
<p>^ If you want to, but that’s a lot of AP classes, good luck.</p>
<p>I want to get national ap scholar and the only ap our school let us take up to junior year is apush …I’ve heard micro and macro r easy</p>
<p>I am taking five or six AP classes next year as well, but I doubt I’m going to actually take all of the exams for them because that would be a LOT of studying lol. I just want to take AP classes because our school does not offer any kind of honors or advanced curriculum, so AP courses gives me a chance to challenge myself a little bit more. Plus, most kids don’t do too well on the tests even if they do well in the class - like half of the kids who got all A’s in APUSH last year scored a 2 or below.</p>
<p>So I’m not REALLY taking five or six AP classes, but I am just taking them and treating them as if they were honors courses. I plan on playing four (maybe five) varsity sports so I don’t have the time to study for all of those classes. =p</p>
<p>Got my AP scores:
AP Human Geography-5
AP Comparative Politics-4
AP U.S. Government-4</p>
<p>I’m so happy about these scored. I wouldn’t have mind 3s. I don’t get my hopes up because they usually are crushed, so I guess I’m a “pessimist” about what I get on tests and they usually result in being better than I hoped.</p>
<p>Those are some good scores~! Especially for AP Human Geo.</p>
