What APs should I take sophmore year?
I'm currently a freshman, and my electives are due pretty soon. I was wondering what APs would be most beneficial to take. Sadly, my school only offers 4 AP electives for sophomores. These are AP Computer Science Principles, AP Seminar, AP Human Geography, and AP Psychology. I am currently in AP World (Freshman here can only take 1 AP), and while I did struggle a bit in the beginning because it was my first AP, I feel pretty decent and have an 89 in the class (other than that, I have all A's). I don't know how many I should take, and which ones I should take, but I am pretty interested in psychology (I'm taking regular psych right now), and I don't like presenting, so I feel like AP Seminar can help me get out of my comfort zone. AP Human Geo was a freshman history class this year, and my friends in it said they struggled, so I don't know if it would be a good choice as an elective. If I had 2 slots for electives, which ones should I pick? And should I use both of those on an AP or choose one normal, easier elective?

Which one would benefit me more, taking 4 years of piano (Honors during 11th and 12th) and German (AP from 10th, 11th, 12th) or taking one out and doing another AP Class (Seminar, Psych, or Business Management) for my 10th grade year(Interested In Medical Field)?
Should I continue with 4 years of piano through high school or 4 years of German? I am a freshman choosing my courses for next year and I do not know whether to continue both piano and German (I already have the required credits for both) or take another AP Class (I was thinking of AP Psych or AP Seminar). I only have two more electives to choose since I have tennis 7th period and was planning on doing that for all through high school since I'm on varsity. My other classes are Pre-ap Chem, AP World History, AP Pre-calc, and Pre-ap English 2. Which classes would benefit me more in the future and on college applications if I'm interested in the medical field?(specifically neurology or dermatology)

How should I proceed along the lines of my math classes?
Hello! I have a question! I am currently taking honors Precalculus as a sophomore and next year I want to go to standard stat because I don't want to feel overwhelmed, and I plan to take another AP class in an unrelated subject. My math teacher is telling me to go to AP Calculus AB then do AP Stat my senior year, but I don't want to do that because my school pays for 4 ap classes and I have taken APUSH, am taking AP Gov, and really want to take AP Psychology because I want to be a psych major and the last one that I wanted to do was maybe AP Stat my senior year but there are no other honors classes to do for my junior year of math. Would it look bad if I did standard stat for my junior year and AP stat for my senior year? I'm confused because I can't afford more AP exams and those are the 4 that I want to do. Also, is calculus a required class for psych majors? Another piece of information that I think is relevant is that I'm not all that good at math so I don't want a math class that will make me struggle and bring down my GPA. I know this has been a lot so thank you!
