<p>What did you sign up for next year (APs)/ What do you want to take when you can?
I’m a rising freshman, so I haven’t taken any. I’ve made a list of ones I want to take, and that way I can list the prerequisites, and develop a plan.
I might take :
AP Language and Comp
AP Micro
AP Macro
AP Human Geo
AP Psych
AP Calc AB
AP Calc BC
AP Stat
AP Bio
AP Chem
AP Env
Maybe AP Chinese or AP French
I have to take (it’s either this or the academic route):
AP World
APUSH
AP Gov
Of course, this is a ridiculous amount; I’m going to shorten it a lot!
Most likely I won’t take :
AP Micro
AP Macro
AP for a second language
The other classes I want to take. But probably won’t do all.
Rank these APs in difficulty and share experiences.</p>
<p>That’s a hell of a lot of APs, LOL. Oh damn. Good luck! </p>
<p>I won’t take half of those. Only on subjects I like.</p>
<p>stick to regular subjects
guaranteed quality of life will increase</p>
<p>I’m taking 3-6 I hope. I’ll spread it out from sophomore year. </p>
<p>The hardest and/or most-time consuming, IMO, are Calc BC, Physics C, Bio, Chem</p>
<p>A small step down to the next level: Eng Lit, Eng Lang, USH, Spanish Lit, </p>
<p>A small step down to the next level: World Hist, Euro Hist, Art Hist, Calc AB</p>
<p>A HUGE leap down to the next level: everything else</p>
<p>I took AP Human Geo my freshman year and that was it LOL. Granted, that was the only option my school offered for freshmen. I DEFINITELY recommend it though! AP Env and AP Stat are the easier APs lol. So maybe consider those as well for the beginning of your high school career? (Aren’t they also semester-long?)</p>
<p>Also, if you’re into math like me, I would suggest taking Calc BC instead of AB (eventually). Unless you hate math, it’s definitely doable and looks more impressive!</p>
<p>As for the sciences, the easiest is definitely Bio, and the hardest (IMO) is Chem. As for usefulness, Bio is probably the most useless lol depending on your career path. Unless you’re super into chem or physics (you still have time to figure it out), take Bio! They’re all hard, but Bio is pure memorization. Physics is a matter of learning the rules and understanding the logic instead of cramming your brain with facts. IMO, Chem is both memorization AND concept (understanding/logic) based. </p>
<p>As for the others, I took AP Euro! It was one of my favorite classes and I made a 98 in the class lol (not because it was easy but because I really liked the subject. But again, classes that only require memorization = relatively easy. At least for me). But I also had a spectacular teacher so I guess it could vary!</p>
<p>If possible, maybe take Comp Sci? Regardless of whether you’re interested in it right NOW, Comp Sci is getting really big, and there’s a lot of potential in that field. It could be really useful!</p>
<p>I really hope this helped, and I wish you luck in high school!</p>
