Scheduling [senior year]? Need some opinions...

All right. So, I’m going to be called in for scheduling probably tomorrow, and I just need a few of you to weigh in just so I could work out the kinks for my schedule.

Senior Year:
AP English Literature and Composition
AP English Language and Composition
Health/Physical Education (required)
Home Economics (required)

^That’s pretty much set in stone. However…this is the part I’m really struggling with:

[Option 1 in addition the courses above]

AP Calc BC (two blocks)
AP Physics B (two blocks)

[Option 2]

AP Calc BC
Physics Honors
AP Environmental or Spanish (not crazy about either, unfortunately)

[Option 3]

AP Calc AB (1 block)
Physics B (two blocks)
AP Environmental or something



So, yeah. That’s basically what I have now.

I should mention that my school operates on a 8-class/semester(sometimes less depending on double blocks and so) schedule, so it can add up to a lot of work on any given night. The thing about taking Calc BC and Physics B is dealing with 4 full blocks of math-intensive courses (in addition to two English classes) - I don’t know if I could handle that. Another thing, I wouldn’t really consider myself to be a particularly strong math student – I mean I get things, but not necessarily at the same rate as others.

To be honest, I don’t have any intentions of going to an engineering field at all - so I’m really wondering if Physics B would be worth it. Not to mention, I haven’t taken a single physics class in high school.

As of right now, I’m taking four APs (Chem , Art History, Statistics, and Psychology).
