Rearranged Schedule for Junior Year

Pre-College Topics High School Life

I got my arena scheduling packet back today, and say what time certain classes for my upcoming junior year were offered. Everything conflicted, and my schedule rearranged to this.

Semester 1
AP Biology
Lib+Law H
Medical Innovations
French 3
Semester 2
AP Physics 1
Advanced Chemistry (pre-AP)
AP Calculus AB
English III H

I’m really scared that my second semester is too heavy. With the various papers for English III H, and all the tests for Physics, Chemistry, and Calculus, I’m worried that it’ll be too much. I’ve heard from the kids that have taken these classes that:
AP Chemistry- Great teacher, but tough grader and frequent quizzes.
AP Physics- You basically teach yourself
AP Calculus- AMAZING teacher, but super time-consuming homework
English III H- Teacher gives out papers like Halloween candy.

This is my first time taking an AP class, so I decided to jump from none to three (but they’re all STEM subjects).I have enrolled in all possible honors courses, with mostly A’s, and a B+ freshman year. I’m not some lunatic who signs up for 7 without taking one before, and I want to be able to succeed in those classes. Does this look manageable?

Semester 1 - yes. Semester 2 - no.

I’d warn you that the AP Physics 1 exam results from last year were abysmal, for a number of reasons that have been discussed elsewhere on this forum; 63% of the test takers failed the exam. So while there may be little HW in the class, if you expect to take the exam, you’re going to have to do a lot of prep on your own. :slight_smile:

Additionally, don’t bump your own thread multiple times. I’ve deleted those.
