8.7/10 AP Psychology is very easy, as is AP Enviro. Also, are you in your senior year right now, or is this projected? If it is the latter, then do you realize that the AB and BC exams can’t be taken in the same year?

@observeraffect I’m a sophomore now. I have to take AP Psychology because I need 4 social studies credit, and I don’t see any other social studies AP’s that I’d be interested in. I also I have to take APES because our school requires an earth science. If I took earth science over the summer, I would replace APES with AP Chemistry. I know the AB and BC exams can’t be taken in the same year, our school makes us take both classes. We just take the BC exam for the AB subscore. Junior 9.5/10 Senior 9.7/10.

@gbrl10 In that case, I’ll bump
my rating of your schedule to 9/10. School regulations can get pretty crazy I suppose.

@Adnauseam2015‌ What year is this?
If it is
Freshman 9/10
Sophomore 8/10
Junior 6/10
Senior - 5/10

It could use a lot more AP or Honors classes if it is one of the later grades.

8.9 / 10

4 APs imo is sufficient, but you could replace one of those classes with an honors class

Just posting my sophomore schedule again for more input.

6 periods in a school day.

Health (required)

Freshman (current)

Geometry H
AP Gov
Chinese 2H

Chem H
Pre-AP Lit (Lit H)
AP Compsci (available to the advanced math students i.e. only if you have finished geometry)

wcao9311 · April 3, 2014, 11:36pm

9/10 for sophomore. Which is really good.

Freshman G/t weighed same as AP
Calc BC AP
PE/health(required)

dsm2017 · April 3, 2014, 11:52pm

WOW! if you can handle all of those APs that is an amazing and most likely stressful schedule. so 10/10 for sure. the only thing is to make sure you enjoy high school because it can suck if you are studying all day long. Do you not have to take Calc AB at your school?

dsm2017 · April 3, 2014, 11:58pm

elefish92 · April 4, 2014, 1:00am

@Yakisoba, I actually am…deciding I will be.

For a freshman, definitely at least a 9/10. @wcao9311‌

Junior:

AP Biology
AP English Language
AP Spanish Language
AP United States History
Pre Calculus Honors
Forensic Science

goodone · April 4, 2014, 8:45am

@elefish92 8/10. Are you able to replace Forensic Science with an AP? You would then be 9/10. To be 10/10 imo you would have to take an AP math too. I’m assuming you can’t jump to Calc though? You have to take Precalc next year?

Sophomore (current):
AP Computer Science
English Honors (No AP available)
Chemistry Honors (No AP available)
Precalculus (I can’t qualify for the honors track, which is simply being on the track since middle school.)
Chinese 3 (No honors available)
School Newspaper (Leadership position)

Junior (next year):
AP English
AP Chemistry
AP Calculus
Honors US History
School Newspaper
Speech and Debate

I am dedicated to both newspaper and speech for ECs so I’m taking them as classes. (A future 4 year member with leadership positions in these clubs.) I think my weak point is taking Honors US History when AP US History is available. I’m not a history person and may be overwhelmed by the reading (a lot of reading for AP English too) so I may risk a B in AP US History. Additionally, there is no guarantee that I can get an A in all my other classes. I am actually also risking a B in AP Chemistry next year because the teacher is very hard. I like chemistry though and want to take the chem subject test. My current GPA is 4.0 (uw) as a sophomore. I want to apply to competitive schools with average high school GPAs of 3.8 to 4.0 (uw).

Objectively comparing my schedule to my peers from the same school, I must say I have a pretty average looking schedule. Everyone’s schedule pretty much looks the same at my school. 1-2 APs sophomore year, 3-4 APs junior year. My school offers a lot of APs though. I could potentially take 7 APs as a junior at my school, but risk my GPA… a lot.

Thoughts? I would appreciate feedback on the HUSH/APUSH because scheduling for next year isn’t finalized yet.
