All this AP talk phew you guys are going to think I’m crazy when I say I’m thinking 7 AP’s next year for Junior year.
So, this should be fun. Maybe you guys have taken some of these courses or have heard of them. They are my projected junior year classes.
AP Lit
AP Calculus BC
AP Us History
AP Psychology
AP Physics A
AP Art History
AP Spanish
@SallyStephens Wow. All AP. I’m planning to just take APUSH, World, Chem, and Lang for junior year.
For senior year I was thinking Lit, Psych, Environmental, and Statistics.
This is of course, if I end up going to an AP school instead of IB.
@SallyStephens-- do you mean AP Physics 1?
@SallyStephens No, you’re not crazy for taking 7 APs. I would, if my school offered some of them.
@SallyStephens Why would you take AP Lit before AP Lang?? We have a few of the same classes like I am going to do AP Spanish Language, AP US History, AP Physics 1 (there is not physics A)… I am also doing AP stats and AP Lang (not lit). I am just praying that all these will fit in my schedule so that I don’t have to choose a different one or something.
@mrnephew at my school, with a schedule like that, you don’t get sleep. Our teachers give an inordinate amount of homework when you get to the AP level (the APUSH teacher, for example, assigns forty pages of notes a night). The smartest person I know (she graduated last year and got into Stanford, MIT, and Harvard; she took the AP Calc BC test as a freshman whilst in Honors Algebra II and got a 5, allowing her to take Calc BC as a sophomore and Multivar as a junior) took two AP sciences, APUSH, Honors English, and Multivar junior year (plus one easy elective, I think); along with a major EC, she literally got two hours of sleep a night. Hell, she got three hours of sleep with AP Lit, Gov/Econ, Leadership, two AP sciences, and some other elective As I have a major EC, I’d prefer to get more than two hours of sleep, hence the I’m-not-going-to-take-APUSH-for-the-life-of-me thing.
We don’t have AP Euro at my school–APUSH (part of the main sequence) and AP World (which is an elective you take junior or senior year) are our only AP history courses; I think we have APHG and AP Psych as well, although I don’t know anyone taking the former and the latter is relatively easy.
Tbh although I’m only taking three AP courses, I’ll be taking an honors course and a course that, although not AP/honors/DE, takes like an hour of homework a night + is also an extracurricular (journalism) or a DE course (depending on whether I get into the former).
@Cornbread1999 we have 274 with a GPA of 3.5-4.0, and 131 with a GPA of 3.75-4.0… But only 17 with a GPA of 4.0. However, I think your school is a few hundred people smaller than mine. I’m not sure.
@SallyStephens your schedule makes me feel insecure. I’d take 7 APs if a) my school had seven regular courses; b) my school offered AP Lang; and c) doing so wouldn’t impact my sanity. The most I could take next year is five, and even that would be a huge stretch; I’m fine with three, thank you very much.
@SallyStephens The first four on your list (AP Lit, AP Calc BC, APUSH, and AP Psychology), I’m also taking. We only have 6 periods though so I’ll be taking AP Bio and IB SL Spanish along with those four. I’m very excited because Biology and Psychology are both interesting subjects. My least interesting class on the list would probably be APUSH but I like that too.
Edit: We haven’t even started picking classes yet though so I’m not 100% sure what I’ll be taking.
I checked. My class has 459 members, the freshmen class has a little more than 500, the junior class has 493 and the senior class has 445 members. Around 1900 students
your school has around 2500?
@Cornbread1999 2200-ish. Our classes are each around 550 people.
OOPS I MADE A MISTAKE: I meant AP LANG not AP Lit. I always get confused which one we have to take first.
And no, AP Physics A is correct. Our school recently decided to split AP Physics 1 into two parts: A and B.
I’m glad we have some classes in common; I’m most nervous about US History lol.
I’m sorry, I’m not trying to make anyone insecure with my post. I didn’t have any bad purpose, I promise!! We were just all talking about classes and I don’t really tell the people in my school about my AP Plans so I thought to tell you guys. 
Correction: A GPA between 3.76-4.00
…My Speech class has 3 people, myself included. Everyone else dropped Speech and added Improv 
Edit: Wow, 111 posts!
Is anyone going to be doing AP Stats? I am concerned about taking this class on FLVS (we don’t have it at my school) and I like Statistics (charts and graphs) but I’m not sure if this will be a good idea. My friend at a public school who is taking it in addition to Calc thinks that Calc AB is easier. She said that her teacher isn’t that good (which may be part of the problem) but that it just doesn’t make sense because it is more of an abstract math? Anyways I hope someone else on here will be taking it, even better if its on FLVS so we can kind of work together a bit?
@Calchong I plan on doing AP Stats senior year, because unfortunately I’m only in Algebra 2 HN and so I’ll be taking Precalculus HN next year. My friends think AP Statistics is easy and most people take it as an elective (so I could probably do it next year if desired). I think you should do it if you want unless you like calculus better.
I’ve heard AP Statistics is a very simple math. I’ll be taking it senior year after calculus is over. Alongside calculus is a little confusing because they are like learning two different languages in the same year, do you know what i mean?
@Faultystart our school doesn’t even make courses with less than 20-25 people interested; for example, we haven’t had an Astronomy/Geology course for ages now because no one signed up (it didn’t have the label “AP” or “Honors” in front of it).
@Calchong I was going to take AP Stats this year, but I made a (very bad) decision and ended up taking Engineering Design instead. I probably won’t take it, unless I don’t get into Multivar senior year (generally, they don’t have enough people interested for two classes, but they have too many for one class, so some people get cut out) and don’t get into C++/Discrete as an alternate. Or maybe Stats will be my alternate.
I dunno.
In other news, I’ve decided I’d also like to study geophysics/geology/earth science (depending on what the college I decide to attend offers) in college. Whoopee. Yet another major to determine the feasibility of (alongside physics/astrophysics, environmental engineering, chemical engineering, energy resources engineering, and more). And then there’s the fact that my parents want me to do electrical engineering/computer engineering/CS. Which I vehemently oppose.
@topaz1116 WHY WOULD YOU POSSIBLY DISAGREE TO EECS??!!! IT’S THE FUN-EST STUFF ON THE PLANET1!1
jk jk 
and I plan on doing AP Stat before AP BC Calc, mainly because I don’t get to calc until senior year
