<p>This year was my first AP class, which was European History.</p>
<p>Next year I’m taking AP U.S., AP Chem, and an independent study of AP Psych.</p>
<p>Senior year I will probably take AP Gov., AP Lit&Comp, AP Calc. BC, and AP Bio. I will also probably do an all year independent study with AP Macro first semester and AP Micro second semester. </p>
<p>I’m interested in which AP classes and how many everyone has taken. Also what you guys think about different AP classes.</p>
<p>I’ve taken 8:</p>
<p>Sophomore Year: US History
Junior Year: Chemistry and English Language
Senior Year: Euro, Government & Politics, English Literature, German, and Calculus AB.</p>
<p>I really wanted to take Stats and Psychology, but the way our schedules have to be at my school is dumb. I didn’t get to take German till Sophomore Year when a bunch of really not smart people take it just to have a class. And I’m a German citizen…(mind you, I am not fluent, yet.)</p>
<p>But on the topic of how my AP’s were. I loved APUS, Euro, and Government. It’s not too much work, and we get to talk about really cool things and watch movies that actually have something to do with the subject. Not like Calc or Chemistry where you watch videos on how this formula works or why these atoms bond.</p>
<p>7 AP.
Sophomore- AP US Government & Politics- 4
Junior- AP US History- 4 (my parents thought 1 AP along with 3 honors courses was enough that year…I was bored, wish I had dropped a couple of other courses I could have taken in the summer instead and done AP Stats and AP Chem instead.
Senior- AP Calc AB, AP English Lit, AP Euro, AP Psych, & AP Spanish Language. Just finished my last AP exam today!
7 AP- and have also taken other advanced courses, like 7 honors courses.</p>
<p>13 AP
Sophomore: Macro,Micro,Chem, US, Comp Sci
Junior:Lang, Stats, Euro, Calc AB, Bio
Next Year: Gov, Physics C, Lit</p>
<p>Sophomore: European History, Biology, (ss) Environmental Science
Junior: American History, Art History, Psychology, (ss) Macroeconomics, (ss) Human Geography, (ss) Physics B (maybe…)
Senior: US Gov, Physics C, English Lang & Comp, English Lit, (ss) Comparative Gov, (ss) Microeconomics</p>
<p>(ss) = self-study</p>
<p>10 AP - big mistake, especially this year.</p>
<p>Sophomore: AP European History - 4
Junior: AP US History, AP Language, AP Psychology, AP Macroecon, AP Human Geo
Senior: AP Stat, AP Enviro, AP Literature, AP Gov</p>
<p>Freshman - Environmental Science aka APES. <em>Very</em> interesting and not hard. Definitely a very enjoyable class. Really interesting stuff.</p>
<p>Junior - English Lang, French, US History. English lang is fine, not hard. French is bleh, I’m not native and I didn’t really study. US History…well, I have a love-hate relationship with history. I have always been a math guy and hated history, and last year I despised the class at the beginning and then I was kind of lukewarm throughout most of the year, but as the year came to a close I started to really love it. I started loving it right around when I started studying for the AP exam, because that’s when you absorb the entire year in a short amount of time and you really see the big picture… it’s quite fascinating. I really enjoyed the last month or two, when all the pieces came together.</p>
<p>Senior - Calc BC, Physics C: Mechanics, Euro, Comp Sci, English Lit.
I strongly dislike English Lit. Lang is a lot easier (exam-wise). The class was fine but I didn’t like the exam at all. English definitely isn’t my thing.
Calc BC is hard but fun. As I said, I’m a math guy, so I love this stuff. I hate to say it, but I kinda enjoyed the exam 
This is my first year programming and I looooooove computer science, I’m SO glad I took it. I also enjoyed this exam.
I had a very similar experience with Euro as I did with US… I pretty much hated Euro throughout the year. I kept thinking, “UUUuugh US is so much better!!!” This year I started studying <em>much</em> later, I’ve pretty much only studied these past two weeks, very intensively. But, just like last year, the studying period has made the subject a ton more interesting for me. When I read a review book in one week and absorb all the course material in such a short time, it suddenly becomes extremely interesting. Of course some chapters were duds (I often found myself skimming the culture or “civilization” chapters) but some chapters were actually really exciting. WWI and WWII were exhilarating to read about. So yeah… Hated it for the bulk of the year, but in hindsight I think it’s really interesting. Same with US.
Physics - I love physics. Hate chemistry, hate biology, love physics. So I love this class. It’s pretty tricky but it’s fun.</p>
<p>Sooo… 9 overall. :)</p>
<p>Well, I’m a sophomore now, so everything after this year is what I am hoping to do.</p>
<p>Freshmen-None 
Sophomore-2 (AP Euro (4, hopefully 5) and AP English Language)
Junior-3 (APUSH, AP English Literature, and AP Bio)
Senior-4(I’m not that sure yet, but this is what I’m hoping) (AP Calc BC, AP psych, AP Stat, and AP Chem)</p>
<p>So [ideally] total of 9</p>
<p>Soph: APUSH
Junior: APGov, Macro
Senior: AP German, AP Biology, AP English, AP Euro, AP Pysch
8 in total</p>
<p>9 Ap</p>
<p>Sophmore- 1 World History</p>
<p>Junior- 4 Physics B U.S History Statistics English Language</p>
<p>Senior- 4 Calculus BC Chemistry English Literature Econonmics</p>
<p>OP, if you’re just interested in what list of APs different people have taken, are taking, and are planning to take, I’ll just list out what my sister is doing too:</p>
<p>She’s a sophomore right now.
Sophomore- AP US Gov
Junior- APUSH & AP Bio (and maybe self-study AP Psych)
Senior- AP Chem, AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, AP English Lit. Maybe AP Spanish too.</p>
<p>People that I know that have done quite a few of them:
Sophomore- AP US Gov
Junior- APUSH, AP Chem, & AP Calc AB
Senior- AP Calc BC, AP English Lit, AP Bio, AP Psych, AP Spanish</p>
<p>Someone else
Soph- AP US Gov
Junior- APUSH & AP Physics
Senior- AP Calc AB, AP English Lit, AP Chem, AP Psych, AP Spanish</p>
<p>Just a couple of my friends whose AP schedules I can remember right there…</p>
<p>Freshman: none
Sophomore: Computer Science, World History
Junior: US History, English Language
Senior: English Literature, Calculus BC, Physics C (both), Macroeconomics, US Govt.</p>
<ul>
<li>self studies in European History and Human Geography</li>
</ul>
<p>That’s 9 classes + 2 more tests</p>
<p>I still wish I knew what AP tests were and I did Env. science and human geo my freshman year and just self-studied psychology junior year though…</p>
<p>@iluvpiano, are you allowed to take Calc AB and BC? it seems to me that if your taking BC they would make a rule against taking AB or else everyone taking BC would do that for an extra math credit.</p>
<p>@premed4- yep, we are allowed to take Calc AB and BC- either AB junior year and BC senior year, or even both in the same year. It’s because we learn most of Calc in AB for a full-year course, and then BC is only a 1-semester course at my school. We actually learn some of the BC stuff in the AB course, which is stupid cause we don’t need it for the AB exam. However, if someone takes them at the same time, they only take the BC exam. If you take them in separate years, then you will end up taking both exams, which is what one of my best friends did.</p>
<p>Three AP Classes:
AP Government (online)
AP US History
AP Language/Composition</p>
<p>Those are all the classes I’m going to be taking in class. As far AP tests, I’ll probably take by the end of Senior Year:
AP World
AP US
AP Lang/Comp
AP Gov
AP Enviro/Sci
AP Comparative Politics (senior self-study)
AP Euro (senior self-study)
AP Micro
AP Macro (depends on whether the college I get into takes my community college credits)
AP Stats (?)</p>
<p>I have no need for any college credit in science and hate Physics, Biology, Chemistry etc. I also hate math unless it’s directly related to proving something regarding the social sciences. My school offers no AP classes in class but AP Calc, AP US, AP Lang/Comp, AP Biology, AP Chemistry and AP Physics.</p>
<p>Freshman: 6 classes, 1 of them an honors.
Sophomore: 3 APs (Spanish Lang, Euro, Bio), 2 Honors, 1 reg (orchestra)
Projected:
Junior: 5 APs (Spanish Lit, APUSH, Physics B, Calc AB, English Lang), orchestra, 2 self studies AP (Psych & Human Geo)
Senior: 7 APs (Econ (Macro & Micro), Physics C Mech, Calc BC, English Lit, Chem, Stats), orchestra, 1-3 self studies (Gov, comparative gov, Physics C E/M)</p>
<p>24 overall. All 5s my first three years besides where otherwise noted.</p>
<p>Freshman: AP Human (4)
Sophomore: AP Bio, AP Macro, AP Micro, AP World
Junior: APUSH, AP US Gov, AP Comp Gov (self-study), AP French (3), AP English Language, AP Physics B, AP Calc AB, AP Psych
Senior: AP Chem, AP Comp Sci A, AP Art History, AP Calc BC, AP English Literature, AP Euro, AP Music Theory, AP Physics C: Mechanics (self-study), AP Physics C: E&M (self-study), AP Stats, AP Enviro</p>
<p>Taking 9 classes / 11 exams my senior year was certainly a great way to prevent me from getting senioritis. This week was kind of annoying having 6 exams in 5 days, but I brought it upon myself so I have no reason to complain, and plus, it was interesting to see my brain deploy knowledge in so many disparate subjects in such a short period of time. Taking three exams on Monday (music theory and both physics Cs) will certainly be interesting…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say that taking so many AP classes was a mistake. I ended up with a great class rank and at the college of my choice, but more importantly, I ended up really enriching myself about the world around me. Beyond being able to do things like write extensively about art history on both AP Lit yesterday and AP Euro today, I really walked away from high school with just about as comprehensive of a knowledge base as I could have asked for. (Although it should be noted that I also independently studied other subjects just for the hell of it, like philosophy.)</p>
<p>I also want to point out that time management is key. I had some pretty crappy nights during my junior year as a result of me playing / coaching baseball, but for the most part, I’ve been able to get all the sleep I needed, and I’ve still maintained a great social life throughout all four years of high school. Be disciplined, and you can really do anything.</p>
<p>If I become the State AP Scholar for Florida, that’d be legit as well, I guess.</p>
<p>^Don’t know how I am going to follow that up :P</p>
<p>Anyways:
I am a sophomore right now.</p>
<p>Freshman Year: No APs (none offered for freshmen)
Sophomore: AP Bio
Junior Year: AP Us History, AP Physics B, AP Spanish Language, AP English Language & Composition
Senior Year: AP Calc BC, AP English Lit, AP Spanish Lit (independent study), AP Chem, AP Physics C (both M and E&M)</p>
<p>Probably will self study AP Stat at some point during my high school career as well.</p>
<p>Total=11</p>
<p>@Keasbey Nights- How in the world do you take 11 AP exams in one year? Does your school not give a lot of daily HW so that you can self-study more things and focus on always studying for the AP exams? I had a hard time finding a lot of time because of so much regular pointless HW. I took 5 AP exams this week!</p>
<p>I’m a senior and will only graduate with 2 AP classes under my belt. Those were the only two AP classes offered at my school. I have had some dual credit classes as well. I can see why it’s harder going to a bigger school! WOW, y’all are amazing!!!</p>
