I seem to struggle with this every year. I can never decide how many AP classes to take to get that perfect balance where I am challenged but not overworked. My school is switching to a block schedule and I have these classes down as classes I am definetly taking. The left class is 1st semester and the class on the right is 2nd semester. Some of the APs I am taking are year long, even with block schedule.

1st period- AP Econ. AP ???
2nd period- AP Stats. Latin 3
3rd period- AP Chem. AP Chem
4th period- AP Lang. AP Lang.

I took AP Bio and AP U.S. gov freshman year making a 4 and a 5 respectively. Sophomore year I took AP Physics 1, AP Computer Science, and AP World History. I ranked 1st in my class, Vice President of my 4H club, and on my marching band’s leadership. In the past I have been able to handle the workload well and actually enjoy it but my question is what should I fill that final slot with? Should I take an elective? What about AP Euro or AP Psych? Thanks.
