9/10 @Darknez You took precalc? Awesome. Wish I could take AP Chem…
@TheSlacker16 Yeah I took it online. I changed my schedule so it would look like I’m interested in Engineering. Hope it’s not too late for colleges to see that. 4 STEM classes with 3 of them being AP!
@Darknez like 9/10? That’s an awesome schedule! Here’s mine
Sophomore
Honors Spanish III
PE II (req)
Computer Apps (req)
Honors English II
Concert Band
Jazz Band (honors)
AP Gov
Honors Precalculus

PS AP Gov is the only AP a Sophomore can take
@MPC6789 I’d give it maybe a 6 or 7? Looks like a good amount of stuff going on and I’m assuming you’re taking the most challenging courses that are offered.
Junior
AP Eng Lang
APUSH 1
AP Bio
Precalculus Honors
Spanish 3 Honors
HTML/Java
Religion (req lol)
@astar99 8/10 Looks awesome, comp sci is really useful!

FBLA, National Honor Society, possibly National Science Honor Society, book club
@atlantischild 9/10 I don’t go to an IB program school but based on my friends that do, that seems like the typical, most challenging schedule available.
Junior
AP Psychology
AP Chemistry
AP Calc: AB
APUSH
AP Lang
Genetics
Spanish 3
during this school year EC’s (at least, the ones taking up most of my time): research project @ lab, starting own club, sci oly, MUN, debate (extemp)
I was originally in BC but switched to AB because I got approval for my research project thus making me busier than originally anticipated…does anyone know if that makes a significant difference in rigor levels to admissions or is my choice in taking AB something they can assume was due to increases in EC’s?
^ 8.5. No idea about the EC question though sorry.
Junior, taking all IB courses. HL are the crazy difficult classes, SL are also difficult but not as hard.
IB HL Physics
IB SL Math (basically like a really hard version of AP Calc BC; you literally have to be a rocket scientist to do HL IB math)
IB HL Spanish 4 & 5
IB ToK (theory of knowledge, required for IB at my school)
IB HL Biology
AP/IB HL English
I’m probably gonna go suicidal again just cos all of that ^^ is gonna drive me to insanity.
Whew! I would give it an 8/10. Obviously all of your courses are rigorous. However, you are taking two HL science classes and no social studies/history. Just a note. Hang in there! Junior year is the last push before it starts to wind down.
My schedule:
Junior year
Advanced Latin 2
AP English Lit (12th grade English)
APUSH
Theater 2
Photography
Pre-calculus
Advanced Anatomy and physiology
Senior Year

AP Microeconomics
AP Macroeconomics
AP Government
Theater 3

-Finished Physics C 11th grade
-Took BC test while in AB class and got a 5, but school will not let me go to local Univ. and take MVC or LA, because I did not take an “official class”
-School has no Lit and Comp, just Lang, and 11th grade is called English 11 Honors
9/10 Lots of APs. Good luck with comp sci

@titan456
10/10, if you are the type of person who can handle all of that, especially if at the same time. ._.
Sophomore:
- Orchestra
- Honors Chemistry
- Honors Pre Calculus
- English
- Spanish III
- AP Biology
- AP Human Geography
I may self-study AP Computer Science and/or AP Environmental Science*
@arennotes 8/10. Reasoning: People around here tend to think orchestra/chorus is a blow-off class, but it takes skill and a lot of practicing to develop your instrument well! You can’t expect to sing or play an instrument well and not practice. Plus, you need to learn the language of instructions, e.g. things like diminuendo, rit., accelerando, etc.and be able to translate that into your voice/instrument. I’d say it’s even harder to do than learning a spoken language, which is hard enough. I haven’t taken AP Bio or Human Geography yet (and I don’t think I ever will), but I’m pretty sure all AP classes require a lot of work. I don’t know whether honors chem or pre-calculus is rigorous, though. I did General Chemistry I last year for credit without doing highschool chemistry, so I don’t know how they differ. Orchestra, Spanish III, AP Biology and Human Geography make it rigorous enough! It might even be 9/10, depending on those honors classes.
Junior:
- AP Statistics
- AP Calculus AB (self-studied)
- AP English Language and Composition
- College Biology (ACE credit)
- College Psychology (NOT AP, ACE credit, self-studied)
- College-level Genetics (ACE credit, self-studied)
- Broadway singing
- Opera voice
- Latin II
- Welsh I
- Music Theory/Harmony/Melody
- APUSH
I listed Broadway and Opera voice as two different courses because I have to practice each 30 min/1 hour separately and they have different materials to study. Most of my college-level courses and self-studied courses can be completed in a few months at most, so I don’t think I’m overworking myself. I’d only start genetics and psychology after I finish the biology course. I’m homeschooled, if that helps.
I don’t know how my course load compares to people in a regular school and my confidence in myself has always been low (YAY!), so it helps to ask people things like this because I can’t believe my legal guardian when she tells me things since I always think she’s biased towards me! Thanks for reading this! (:
