5/259 is not high enough? Sheesh
We plan our classes Monday. I’m not sure what to take because they took APUSH off the course request ;( Probably AP Lit, AP Physics, and BC Calc since we only have 5 periods.
Personally taking ap calc bc, ap phys, ap micro, ap gov, and ap stat
wow i thought I was doing really well lol Im so nervous! im taking ap bio, ap lang, apush, SUPA public speaking and an online 300 level german class… whats everyone taking next year? im considering ap calc, ap lit, ap euro, ap physics, ap chem and possibly ap computer science!
I’m taking all IB classes next year, here is the tentative course list:
IB English HL year 2
IB Math HL year 2
IB History of the Americas HL year 2
IB Physics SL
IB Spanish SL year 2
IB Art History SL (unless I don’t get into the summer program I’m applying to, in which case I may take a VAPA class over summer and take another class like IB computer science.)
Oh, and of course Theory of Knowledge (IB requirement) , but that’s only first semester.
taking:
intro to computer science (they JUST added it at our school, but I might buy an AP book/prep book and try to pass the exam since I’m planning on going into a STEM major and might as well start learning anyway)
ap spanish iv
ap english lit
ap gov & pol
ap bio
ap calc ab
i wanted to take ap psych, but there isn’t enough room in my schedule (plus, my mom yelled at me when i said i wanted to take six ap classes LMAO)
how hard are classes that you take at community college over the summer? i was planning to do an online course for psych but idk how hard it might be, especially with the other summer assignments i’ll need to do (though i’ve heard the calc assignment is SUPER easy so i’m glad haha!).
Is stat worth it? i can’t decide if i want to take it or not - definitely taking ap calc ab, ap lang, ap bio, honors spanish 5, and then i have two spots left and i can’t decide if i want to do stat, psych, or gov or an elective. i was gonna do psych or gov and an elective, but now everyones telling me to do stat… ugh i don’t know what to do
@KE3299 I’ve found Stats to take little time. Perhaps it’s just the way my teacher runs his class, but usually I can finish my homework in class after the lesson.
It’s easier for me because the math itself is not actually complicated. The most advanced we’ve gotten so far just involves combinations, square roots, etc…nothing remotely as difficult as my Calc AB class. There are also lots of word problems, so if that’s you’re thing, go for it 
Okay oxygen magnesium I’m overwhelmed and next week is /not/ going to be fun because I have big assignments and assessments in every class and already I’m behind because of the extracurricular ramp-up that was this week and I know I’ll get through it, but it’s kind of terrifying and also I’m missing a lot of class next week and I have no idea where I’m going to get the time to make that up. Also, I have no idea what I’m going to do with my life next year, and while I know some classes I’m going to take, I feel like it’s not the right schedule for me and I don’t know what to do.
Okay sorry for that, you all. Needed to get that off my chest.
@yunguc You seem like an amazing student but let me warn you–the art history AP exam is A LOT. You have to know everything from Paleolithic art (c. 25,000 BCE) to art from today. I’m trying to take the exam in the spring (my school doesn’t offer AP classes) and I totally underestimated how much material it is originally. It is seriously crazy, and the College Board understands that, so you can miss a lot of questions and still do fairly well. With your already AP-heavy schedule, it might be too much, especially if you don’t love the subject. I love it and it’s still overwhelming.
@bfc2017 Are you taking it online then or just self studying? And what does the workload usually consist of? I’m still only considering it because we’re required to take a virtual class to graduate. I might opt for a nonsense class like Peer Counseling if I’m feeling really overwhelmed or I might drop an AP that I would take in school. I’m pretty fond of history but if the content that needs to be retained is really ridiculous then I’ll reconsider.
@yunguc While my school doesn’t offer AP classes, there is a really rigorous art history elective which I took. It was only a semester-long course, though, so the teacher and I are meeting outside of school and she is very generously continuing to go over material with me. I know a girl who took an AP Art History class online; she ended up getting a 4 on the exam. Here’s the link for more info about what is taught and what you are expected to know for the test:

Oh, a discussion about Art History?
Ayyyyy queen 2017
I’m kinda late but I’m taking
AP Stats
AP Computer Science Principles (this will be interesting…)
AP English Literature
AP Chem (Double period)
Spanish 4
Sales & Advertising/ Marketing (Semester each)
Honors Physics
Oh we’re talking about schedules? I’m VERY late to the party, it appears. I have AP Calc AB, AP Psych, AP Chem, French 4, PE12, Advanced Topics in Lit, and Digital Design. I have one more credit left. Should I take AP Euro? I’m kind of hesitant because I’m in APUSH currently and absolutely abhor it.
AP Euro seems much better than APUSH, imo. Since I’ve never taken it, though, I don’t think I would be an expert; however, it seems like it would focus on a more diverse range of cultures and historical trends than does APUSH, falling somewhere in the range of APUSH’s exclusivity and WHAP’s generality (if that makes sense)!
@addalinemore
Thanks @desideratum ! I could always switch out too, if really wanted to.
Is it just me or does anyone else manage their time better when they have more things to do? I barely had homework today and I was sooooo unproductive. Ughhhhhh…
@neoking Yes! In fact, there are days where I have a lot of homework but I’d still end up sleeping earlier than if I had less homework. When I have little work I take very long breaks and it makes the day go by very quickly.
