I’m at a very competitve high school and I’m taking 6 AP classes. I’m sleeping an average of 3 hrs with all-nighters scattered here and there. I study all day on the weekends and have very little social interaction outside of school. My health is deteriorating and it is hurting my ability to excel in sports.

Right now I have a C/C- in AP English because of the difficulty of the pieces and, therefore, the amount of homework. The teacher grades extremely hard on everything and it is hard to even get a B on quizzes/tests. How can I expect to get an A in this class??

Should I spend an insane amount of time on English and cut back on my other classes? Should I really go in-depth in analyzing pieces of literature?

I really do not know how much I should spend on each AP class… I’m in AP Calc and I haven’t taken Math IIC yet (planning to take in Dec.) and I haven’t taken SAT I or IIs yet… I’m really stressed and depressed right now because i don’t know what exactly I should do. I don’t think I’m ready for anything but I fear that if I don’t take the Math IIC now I will have a worse score later. HELP!!
