<p>I keep seeing posts where people take upwards of 5 AP classes in a year, along with other classes. What type of scheduling do these people have? Our school is a small (<500) high school with block scheduling and 4 AP classes, total. With block scheduling only 4 AP classes would be possible in a year, so I’m slightly confused.</p>
<p>Self Studying and taking Courses online or over the summer. And also not everyone has bloc, btw. I have a 7 period school system, so If I wanted to I could take 7 AP classes</p>
<p>Okay. I didn’t factor in self-studying, so that makes more sense.</p>
<p>My situation’s the same as AppleBeam’s. 7 periods a day, so 5-7 AP classes per year is possible, given that prereqs are taken care of.</p>
<p>^and given that you plan to not have a social life that year.</p>
<p>We have block scheduling but we have four classes per day each class meeting every other day so you can take up to 8 AP classes a year.</p>
<p>@bsmd11 - I take six AP classes and I still have a social life. It’s very possible, particularly with the easier AP’s like Stat and Psych.</p>
<p>I have 6 AP classes and a social life too bro, but I’m merely pointing out that this may not be the case for many others (esp when you don’t have bs AP’s like Stat, Psych, and HGeo)</p>
<p>Okay, I was just making sure you weren’t stating that having that many AP’s automatically stripped you of a social life, since many people seem to get by just fine. ;D</p>
<p>I do agree that you should make sure you can handle the workload, though.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore with 5 AP classes, my school has a 9 period schedule but my last period is 7th after that i go to tutoring or go home and study.
I still have a social life, and my life doesn’t revolve around studying (well with the exception of this month since next month is AP month).</p>
<p>It is very possible, especially when you enter the school from 6th grade and finish all your regents and honors classes by 8th grade. By the time you get to 9th grade all you have left are college classes ad AP classes.</p>
<p>@asiaadorespandas – which APs are you taking? The most you could take at my high school as a sophomore is 2 (Psych and Euro).</p>
<p>You could take 7 APs a year max for us</p>
<p>This is how scheduling works</p>
<p>You have 6 slots</p>
<p>Most goes like this</p>
<p>1 science, 1 math, 1 social studies, 1 english, 1 language, 1 elective</p>
<p>So you take 1 ap of all (the elective can also be AP), and take AP micro and macro, which are semester courses.</p>
<p>But nobody does that</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>they go to better high schools</p>
<p>sorry bro</p>
<p>@evanh14, I’m taking AP Physics C (both) , AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP Chinese lang& culture, and AP English literature and comp

<p>My school has block scheduling (4 classes a day), but the classes change each semester, so it’s 8 total. Plus, Florida Virtual School is free for FL students.</p>
<p>However, I do dual enrollment, which means I can take however many classes I want, whenever I want. This year, I took 11 (14 if you count the summer before senior year), and they’re weighted the same as AP and IB at my school. So there are a lot of ways to take a lot of higher level classes.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses. In case you haven’t gathered, our school would definitely not be described as competitive. It’s basically a crappy public school in the middle of cornfields.</p>
