Is my schedule difficult for junior year?

Pre-College Topics High School Life

NOTE: I am not a genius, nor am I someone who is planning on sleeping at 3 AM every night just to finish up hw and study for tests (this year I had a lot of homework from two AP classes, which caused me to sleep late every night, which caused me to not be at my best physical state for school). I also want to major in registered nursing, and just want to know if my schedule could fit on that path.

Sophomore Year schedule
AP Calc AB
Biotech
English AS 3-4 (it’s like an honors but you don’t get honors credit)
AP Euro
Journalism Advanced
PE
French 3-4

Junior Year (for now) planned schedule
AP Stats
Biotech 3-4
AP English
AP USH
Drawing 1-2
French 5-6
CP Physics for now (AP Psychology was already filled up. Is AP Physics 1 hard? How is the work load in that class? Is it useful to take this class and get AP credit for it I want to major in nursing? I heard that AP Chem or AP Bio was more useful, but I don’t want to take either of those two and kill myself)

My schedule is honestly not as difficult as a lot of the people here. But, I just want to know if I should just stick with 3 APs, or if I should go ahead and take 4 if AP Physics 1 is handle able.

If physics has nothing to do with nursing, and 4 aps is too difficult, should I just make a free period?

The schedule is fine, especially if you only take three AP courses. As somebody who is not overly exceptional in science, I did not take AP Physics, Biology, or Chemistry. Are you good at Physics? If you are, go ahead and take it - challenges are good as long as you think you can handle it without getting bad grades.

I do not know whether or will help you or not getting a degree in nursing. It may help with your GE requirements if it doesn’t directly help you with nursing but I’d check the colleges that you are hoping to go to and decide from there.

depends on who you’re comparing to. compared to the average student, yes. compared to the average cc-er, probably?

What universities are you looking at…why not take the honors English this year?? I suggest AP BIO senior year…I take it now (senior) dedicate about an 1 per night (not too bad-maintained an A) also remember about SAT ACT prep the next two years :slight_smile:
