<p>All of those are worth 10 credits each. I also take an AP Physics lab.</p>
<p>Most seniors at my school take 4 classes and 1 proctoring period.
I go to school with my sister and took a proctoring period to fill a hole in my morning schedule.</p>
<p>Most of those classes have no homework (i.e. the vocational one) or consist mainly of classwork.</p>
<p>Is this rigorous enough or what?
My high school and local community college do not allow cross-registration. Bummer~.</p>
<p>It is very hard to gauge whether a schedule is rigorous enough when we do not know much about your school. The best way to tell if you are taking the right classes is to compare with other kids in your grade, talk to your guidance counselors, or stack your schedule up with the schedules of alumni who have gotten into the schools that you are applying to.</p>
<p>Each class is worth 10 credits, a year’s worth of credit for a class.
Some meet in the morning or at lunch on certain days.
A class period = 1 hour.</p>
<p>Most kids at my school take 6 classes/year and 4 or 5 as a senior.</p>
<p>As well as AP Physics lab (worth 0 credits) and possibly getting gym waived, but if I can’t get it waived, I’ll take it at the local Y, for 10 credits/year. So 15 classes if it all goes well, 13 worth academic credit, 1 worth gym credit, which later gets pulled into the total 140 credits for 15 classes.</p>
<p>^This is exactly why these kinds of questions do not work on CC. AnonymousGirl, you know much, much more about your school’s curriculum and what a good schedule looks like than we will ever know; I don’t think anyone on this forum will be able to help you answer your questions.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t release any data about courseloads, # of AP’s taken, etc. because they’re concerned about the “equity gap” we have and think it somehow makes them look bad. They also don’t rank. So I’m wondering how I compare to what other CC’ers are taking this school year.</p>
<p>Well it’s hard to compare but for me, personally, We have 8 periods at my school, all classes are yearlong. Normally a student would have one period for gym/health, a lunch, an elective, and then 5 academic courses. Next year, as a senior, I will be taking 5 AP classes, multivariable calculus, and a gym/health(mandatory) and study hall. That is the schedule of some of the best students in my school.</p>
