I have a dilemma on my schedule for next year. The combinations of classes and such is so annoying to plan out, but I guess it should be done.
Anyways, I am 100% sure that I am signing up for:
-Chemistry Honors
-Physics Honors
-English II Honors
-Spanish I
But, for math and SS, I am not so sure. I originally planned on doing:
-AP Psychology
-American History II Honors
-AP Calc Prep
-AP Calc AB
I have thought about it, and I realized that I could actually take APUSH next year, instead of junior year, and open up room for another class in junior year.
Now, for math, I am not sure if I should jump into AP Calc without precalc, but my school allows it. I might, but I am heavily reconsidering my SS choices.
@IrrationalPepsi DON’T skip precalc and go straight to calc! Precalc is introduction to calc, like the way you are introduced to factoring in Algebra I but only delve into it in Algebra II. If you want to take AP Calc, take a summer course.
@awesomepolyglot what languages do you speak? I know english, two dialects of Indian languages, and am learning spanish in school. Silly NJ laws say you have to take 4 years of 2 semester P.E, ugh. We also have to have one whole year of art and one whole year of computers/tech classes. I am currently taking Algebra II, and it is easy (compared to geometry) IMO. I am assuming you want to do major in something STEM related, so that 3 year physics course sounds sweet.
As to your problem, get an agreement with the front of your bus to talk to a teacher about it so you don’t have to do it by yourself.
My classes for next year are
Chem Honors
Precalc Honors
US History 1 Honors (my school makes the ap course as us history 2)
Spanish 3 Honors
English 2 Honors
Gym… ew.
AP Bio
Year 1 of 3 Year Research Class (we find a mentor, perform research with them, submit to competitions, chance of publishing, etc.)
By 3 year AP Physics sequence I mean AP Physics 1, B, and C. I don’t know if we have B. I won’t have enough math to take C junior year and I don’t want to skip a year.
I hate English classes. The only reason I’ll take AP English is if it’ll get me credit in college.
@awesomepolyglot
Take AP Physics 1 as a junior and AP Physics C as a senior. It’s not necessary to take AP Physics 2 before AP Physics C, it’ll be redundant and won’t help you much in AP Physics C.
Class rank of 2 with an F in a class. Woot. Maybe it’s based on course rigor in9th grade, or maybe all but a few people in 1 AP and 1 standard are in orchestra.
Eh… next year is just going to be hell for me -- My principle is over doing herself with these “You have to do x class to stay in this program!” -- Eh, but I am not complaining, my teachers are super helpful
AICE General Papers
AICE International History
AICE Thinking Skills - Required for AICE Diploma --
AICE Marine Science - No other science available at my school, at this time --
Pre-AICE Additional Math or AS Math 1 (Precalc or Calc AB)
Pre-AICE Spanish 2
Eh, and a English class. I am not required to take one next year, but hey, more fun for me right -_-
This is bound to change with the confusion of the higher uppers, they might stick me in some random classes.
My schedule is going to be so different, as we do not have study halls. I also believe my old Biology teacher would not appreciate me being in AICE Marine and Environmental at the same time (He teaches both. Well, he will), he already gets enough of my sass.
I made the Science Olymiad team and now I have to be a genius at Hydrogeology, whatever that is. I get to make a binder for It’s About Time and Invasive Species, and I’m unreasonably excited for those.
I don’t wanna look at my schedule next year cuz I have so many options. I could technically take AP bio but bio is ew rn. Plus, it’s double period wt h .
@Giovuhnni
Take Chem and Physics. Take Chem and Physics. Take Chem and Physics. Take Chem and Physics. Take Chem and Physics. Take Chem and Physics.
Just do it.
@awesomepolyglot
You said that you would take a three year sequence for physics, what I suggested was a 2 year plan, taking out AP Physics 2.
