<p>So here’s what I’m taking:
APES
AP PSYCH
AP BIO
Orchestra Philharmonic
Orchestra Symphony
Choir
I’m also taking dual english and algebra, but this is done outside of my high school.
So everyday I would get to leave one class period early from school since I’m taking dual classes. I was hoping I could use that time to go and take private lessons for violin since I’m also in a youth orchestra which is at the same time as my original private lessons time so I’m going to have to change my lessons. Going during the last period would be the only thing that works (this would be once a week.) I’m also going to volunteer at a place where I tutor kids and help serve dinner and that’s around 4:30(twice a week.) So I was hoping I could use this off period to get to my lessons and also my volunteer work.
I’m also involved in a bunch of stuff and being in 3 orchestras and 1 choir is a lot of music and competitions i have to prepare and audition for.
Should I take AP Physics B?
Is it very hard? Do you think being in a 4th AP would just put me behind?</p>

<p>I’m applying at the air force academy, smu, syracuse, purdue,and michigan state</p>

<p>I don’t think AP Physics B is being offered anymore, it’s 1 or 2. I don’t really know what the difference is, but AP Physics B wasn’t all that difficult for me. That being said, I had to put in a ton of work outside of the classroom because I probably had the worst Physics teacher in the history of Physics teacher. I ended up spending like 2 hrs a day watching this teacher on youtube, Ms. Twu (definitely recommend her!!). I play on 2 ice hockey teams btw, so 4-5 days a week I spend my nights on the ice, still had time for this though.</p>

<p>If you are strong in math it really helps, I struggled a bit at first but my math improved a ton in the first few weeks. If your school has a regular Physics class it’d be worth it to try AP Physics and see how it goes. If it’s too difficult or time consuming, you can always drop into regular Physics. There were about 10 kids that did that in my class…</p>
