How Many AP's Are Too Many?

My word of advice is to make sure you’re interested in the material for the majority of AP classes you take. for example, I’m in calc bc, physics c e&m, and stats all at the same time. I love the material in all of them so I find it particularly easy. Over the snow break us southerners got recently I did math for fun. like 200 calculus problem just for kicks. I have 99’s in all and set curves yada yada because I like it

On the other hand I also have apush and language right now. I like history but only certain parts. I like English but only certain parts. As a result, I am currently running C’s in them because it’s just not as interesting and the work is a chore rather than a reward.

It’s not just the number, it’s the quality and the fit. If you have block scheduling like us, I would not recommend more than half of your classes be AP at any given time. Honors is okay, AP is a struggle sometimes.
