Should I take three AP classes in my senior year?
In my junior year of high school i took AP Bio and APUSH
In my senior year i plan to take AP Lit, AP Psych, and AP Chem
I am taking ap courses to help me get into a good college in the future
But i am not sure if i am taking on too much work. I feel unsure of AP Chemistry I am a person who get stressed very quickly and am not good under pressure. I was wondering if i do not know what my future aspirations are for a career should i take AP Chem Also i do not have an immense passion for either of the three APs, but know it is neccessary to take them. I dislike the chem teacher and got an A- in Honors Chemistry. So will i be able to manage or am i taking it too far??
I honestly have a terrible teacher for AP Chem, and ny guidence counselors are useless ( lol) i feel like in some cases i have trouble with application, which is why i worry about chem.
I do not know my plans for the future but probably not going into science at all nor tech.

AP Psych is one of the easiest APs and if you could handle AP Bio and APUSH, I think those three together shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you're looking at STEM (science tech engineering math) majors or careers, AP Chem would be good to take. Talk to your guidance counselor or parents if you're unsure about your ability to do well in the classes. It's better to do well in regular/honors classes than get mediocre grades in AP. :)

Ah I know how you feel, my guidance counselors basically don't want any students to succeed, just graduate and get out. Anyway, if you're really worried for chem and it won't help you much in your future, you may want to consider a different class. A lot of the concepts from chemistry are repeated in AP Chem, just more in depth which I find pretty interesting, and they definitely build on each other so if you start to struggle, get help immediately! Since you did pretty well in Honors Chem I doubt you'd screw up terribly in AP. Personally I'm in AP Chem now and it's probably my favorite class. A good teacher and friends tends to do that :p

It depends on the types of faculties you consider you'll be applying to subsequent yr. If there are some pretty competitive faculties on that list, then go together with the three AP courses. The extra you could exhibit that you challenged yourself in high tuition, the more probably you might be to stand out among applicants. (BTW, my daughter took AP Psychology and had no hindrance with it.) i wonder in regards to the "VA" within the AP executive class. The tuition Board presents an AP scan in US govt and Politics - will that type' coaching for the AP test be a little bit diluted by means of together with Virginia state government fabric? That is the category i would be fascinated about switching out of for those who eventually make a decision to head AP + Honors.

I had a crappy AP chem teacher. She doesn't teach at all, and she teaches wrong materials in front of the class. Nevertheless, I felt the class was easy and I got an A. I took regular chem soph year. If you don't feel confident, buy a review book and study them before the class. Some of my friends went from F's to B's because of those review books.
