What Do You Think Of My Junior Year Schedule?

*IB Physics I
*IB French IV
*IB English III
*IB TOK (Theory Of Knowledge)
*AP Bio
*AP US History
*Pre-Calculus Pre-AP Honors
*Symphonic Band

For those of you that have taken one or more of these courses, can you give me
feedback as to what to expect in regards to courseload, stress, etc.
Also can you tell me your opinion on my schedule, I trying to configure whether I am
making the right choice. Thank you all so much, any feedback is appreciated :slight_smile:

Grade 11 is very important because it is the year that SAT’s will be taken. The focus should be getting a high SAT score. In Grade 12, may be one more SAT (two the most) before applying to universities.
The present schedule will result in very few hours of sleep. Recommend reducing work load (such as replacing AP History with a regular History class or something easy). .

Thank you so much! I was a bit worried about how much time I would have to balance
things next year.

While it is important to have time to study for the SATs, junior year will also be heavily assessed for course rigor which is why I would lean towards sticking with the rigorous schedule including AP History. Yes - AP Bio and APUSH are fairly dense but this is the kind of challenge top colleges like to see.

Thank you so much! That is why I decided to take these challenging courses.

Looks good to me! I am happy that you are taking IB/AP courses, you will definitely impress universities (granted you don’t mess it up, but I’m sure you’ll do fine!)

Thank you so much!
