Prime Number of AP Classes to Take Jr. Year

[HONORLIONS]

<p>

If you want a prime number of AP’s junior year, take 2, 3, or 5 AP classes.

</p>

<p>I had to reread this before I got this hahaha</p>

<p>

Most kids in the area high school take the maximum of 3 each year, basically because their school is on a block schedule and that is really all that will fit in their schedule.

</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m kind of in a very similar situation. Most kids in my school take an AP science and history (APUSH), and some take AP English. I’m trying to basically get ahead with like 4-5 by making my schedule an overkill.</p>

<p>

It’s good to take AP exams in your desired field though, because it helps show interest, and helps give you a foundation in the subject, regardless of if you need to retake the courses upon entrance to college, I would think.
My personal goal was to hit at least 8 total before Senior year, to have the AP National Scholar.

</p>

<p>I’m kind of in a dilemma with this, the AP course for which my potential college major is taught by a less than adequate teacher, and a course that I still like, but isn’t exactly what I want to go into is taught by a great teacher. At this point, I’m probably sticking with taking the latter course.
And it’s my personal goal to get the NAPS award before Senior year for apps haha.</p>

<p>

i would say for junior year take as few ap <em>classes</em> and as many <em>exams</em> as you can, and do the reverse for senior year.

</p>

<p>I see what you’re getting at with this, but no offense, it seems like a fruitless idea.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses guys, anyone else care to contribute?</p>
