<p>@Hawkace I was also considering IB Physics HL, which is the hardest known course at our school and I didn’t want to take AP Chem or Bio in conjunction with it. </p>
<p>I guess I overestimate myself, I thought I could since there’s a freshman here that takes AP Calc AB, AP Gov, and AP Chem. Thanks for bringing me back to Earth lol.</p>
<p>I’ll go with your plan, though, do you really think it’ll be easier taking two of the same type of courses (AP Bio and Bio Honors) or have an already solid background on the AP subject while taking Chem to preface IB Chem HL?</p>
<p>It will be easier taking bio honors and ap bio concurrently. You can do honors chem the summer before you do ap chem or do them concurrently as well. It’s your choice in the end. @apandia</p>
<p>Alrighty, here’s what I tentatively have lined up for junior year:</p>
<p>AP English 3
APUSH
AP Chem
AP Calc AB
Spanish 4 Honors (only 5 is AP here, ugh)
AP Psych
AP Environmental Science
Debate 3 Honors [competition class, I have to be in it in order to compete!]</p>
<p>Almost every kid at my school takes an off-block, so they only have 7 classes versus the eight normal ones, but I decided not to do that. Instead, I’m taking two relatively easy APs. I’m thinking about testing out of Spanish 4 and doing 5, but I’m not sure about that yet. I’m also thinking about maybe taking Econ instead of Environmental Science, but I don’t want to overload myself.</p>
<p>@almondjoy7 I would say a solid 8/10. I think taking an off block but harder APs is better (Econ > APES maybe)</p>
<p>My schedule for next year (senior year):
AP Economics (Macro+Micro)
AP Government
AP Calc BC (My school only does BC for senior year, no multivariable)
AP English Lit
AP Physics C (Mechanics + Electricity/Magetism)
AP Chemistry
AP Spanish Language
Health (Mandatory to graduate)
Gym (Mandatory to graduate) </p>
<p>I won’t have an off period or lunch if that makes my schedule more impressive. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>^9.5/10 looks pretty insane to me, and well-rounded IN MULTIPLE ASPECTS (history, sciences, languages, etc).
Only downside is possible GPA risk factor, though I doubt it’ll impact you.</p>
<p>Here’s what I have for junior year (and my counselor says that I’m already pushing the limit -.-), with a school that has an absolute max of 6 courses lol,</p>
<p>English Junior Grade(amazingly, my school doesn’t offer AP Eng, D= )
AP Physics
AP Chemistry
APUSH
AP BC Calc
Spanish PreAP Lit</p>
<p>^Lol, looks like crap compared to the 200+ pages above me.
Any improvements for me? </p>
<p>@BipolarBuddhist how does you school only have 6 courses per year? I don’t the difficulty of you school so I’ll say 7.5-8/10. If you want to go to more competitive schools, do more AP’s.
Senior:
AP Physics C
AP English Lit
AP Calc BC
AP Econ (Micro and Macro)
AP Comp Science
AP Bio
1 off period (thinking of taking AP World but my schedule is already jammed pack; What do you think?)</p>
<p>Already took AP Chem, APUSH, AP Stats (self-study), and AP Psych (self-study). </p>
<p>@Hawkace:
10/10 I would recommend taking 1 period off due to having 6 APs already.</p>
<p>Thing is, I go to a private school, of which I won’t mention the name. However, the normal limit is 5 courses per year, and for the absolute maximum of 6 can only be reached by preserving decent grades and obtaining special permission. I generally despise this system, but I won’t blame it as many of the students who have gone here have matriculated to Ivies and top tier schools. </p>
<p>I’m interested in how your school runs though. Do all classes meet everyday? How many school hours do you have to accommodate those classes? What is the minimum class year from which you are allowed to take an AP? </p>
<p>Here’s what my senior year schedule looks like:</p>
<p>English Electives (again, no APs at all)
AP Physics C
Honors Multivariable Calculus
Choir
Philosophy
AP Spanish Lit</p>
<p>Not too much, again, and here I am, pushing the absolute limit of what my school can offer. lol</p>
<p>9/10@DaneBrick @BipolarBuddhist
All of our classes meet everyday for 45 minutes and we have labs as well. In general, we have about 9 periods per day similar to everyone else. A school day is 6 and a half hours and we also have sports after-school. Depends on the course, but we have about 2 hours of homework per day. We are allowed to take an AP during sophomore year-2 options unless you are gifted and you can do more. My school in general offers 21 AP’s. By the end of senior year, I’m doing 10 which is def more than average. The smartest in our grade is doing about 13. </p>
