What are some of the easier AP classes?
I'm currently a freshman in high school only taking AP World (my school only allows this or AP Human Geo for freshman), and it's not my best class but I managed to pass last semester with a B. For sophomore year, I'm on track to take APUSH which I know is one of the harder APs, and I was thinking about AP psych because I took psych this year and I find it really interesting. Are there any other AP classes that I'm able to take sophomore year that aren't as vigorous as AP World and APUSH? And is taking AP psych a bad idea for sophomore year?
What to do if I have no APs/Honors/Extracurriculars (a shy homeschooled Junior in HS who wants to pursue either becoming a lawyer or something in the forensic science area)?
I feel very behind and stressed because though I do make good grades, I know that I should have at least a few of these things but I don’t. I know the best way is for me to just do something about it but I’m not sure on how to go about it. I also feel stressed because I’m not 100% for sure which career path I should pursue: law or forensic science. I will take any advice. Do you think that it would be a good idea if I take any APs/Honors next year or will it be too late? I was thinking of taking dual enrollment next year and some CLEP exams this year. And, what extracurriculars should I do as of now, and for my senior year—ones that match the careers i want to do or a variety of different things that interest me? (sorry if i got off topic!!!) Thank you in advance because any help/advice will be appreciated!
Should I take AP Biology or Honors Anatomy/Physiology HS Junior Year?
I've already discussed with my counselor on what classes I will be taking next year as a Junior. I'm taking two APs for sure, which are AP English Language and AP US History. However, I'm determined to do another AP which is AP Biology. I don't know whether I should take AP Biology or Honors Anatomy or maybe do both! The problem is I have to replace one class, and I thought of replacing my art class but I still need the one-year requirement for visual and performing arts to get into a 4-year college. Right now, my counselor has placed me to be in Honors Anatomy next year. I haven't talked to her yet about changing my schedule if possible, but I will very soon. Because I want to major in medicine hopefully in college, AP Biology would help me later on and I plan on taking AP Chemistry in my Senior year. #uci #highschool #advancedplacement #aps
