What Can I Change About The Rigor Of My Junior Year Schedule?

US History and Government 11 Regents------> Required class can take IB History Americas HL, Year 1 or APUSH in place of it, not the biggest history fan though.

CHS Mathematical Topics--------->Basically a class you can get college credit for. Its trig and calc mixed, very rigorous as CHS stands for “College In The High School”. The other option is Applications for Mathematics, which is basically just general math, will either take app. math jr. year or sr. year

UHS Spanish 4----------> next level of Spanish. Can take IB Spanish SL, Year 1 instead…teacher that loves me teaches Spanish 4 and IB Spanish, my Spanish skills are a little higher than average, but not the best, but, I feel I could perform semi-well in IB because of the teacher and I’s good relationship.

Chemistry Regents-----------> Required science for NYS students, but can take electives in place of that, but that is typically for students who struggle, so not me. Depending on Earth science grades, may get recommended for Chemistry Honors, I like science, but chemistry involves a lot of math (especially algebra 1) which I really hated.

AP English Language and Composition------------> Okay, so I am SUPER-DUPER excited to take this class, although it is usually taken by seniors. The teacher for it I had in ninth grade English and so that will be great to have him again as he commended me for my writing skills! Phenomenal!!! :slight_smile:

PE---------> I love sitting on a couch and binge-watching Netflix, so sadly this course is required :frowning:

CHS Psychology------> Okay so I’m very conflicted about this one. I love psychology, having done a unit of it way back in eighth grade home ec. I may wanna start with this psych course rather then IB Psychology SL, to see if I like it. I am interested in being a psychiatrist so would it look better taking psych for two years, or IB Psych for one? And CHS Psych is only one semester, so the other half of the year is Sociology, whereas taking IB Psych, you can’t take Sociology as well with it, as IB Psych is a full-year course.

PLTW Human Body Systems------> I took PLTW Principles of Biomedical Sciences, so I’d love to stay on the PLTW sciences track, to avoid a cookie-cutter like schedule. :wink:

Thank you for your advice in advance and all advice, suggestions, questions, or concerns are welcomed! :slight_smile:
