How can I find challenging academic classes outside of school?
I'm only just going into HS and really want to start taking AP classes in a year or two, but my school only offers a few starting in 11th grade, and there are no honors classes. This last year wasn't very challenging for me and I'm anxious to really push myself. I'm really interested in math, finance, and psychology as career umbrellas, so to speak. What are some other routes I can take, outside of school? Do online courses actually work? How do I find good ones? Thank you!
Is taking 17 credits per semester worth it?
I want to finish my 4-year bachelor's degree in 2 years. I want to get enough ap credits. Right now I want to do something related to business. Is it okay if I take 8 credits the second term of the summer semester before my Freshman year of college? I am talking about the 6-week term. Is it normal for a student to take 7 credits per summer term? It gives a total of 14 credits for the entire summer semester after my freshman year. Do students take 17 credits as an incoming freshman for the fall or is it too much to handle? I want to take gen ed classes over the summer including some electives. I do not want to double major and i will not work at all. my parents are paying. #college #college-major #college-admissions #college-advice #finance #college-major #apclasses #graduation
Should I take an AP US History class if I'm already taking an AP English class and going to manage a new club? Should I take this AP or do community college classes online?

How do AP classes compare to college-level courses?
From what I've heard, AP classes are at best like easier first-year courses. Can I compare the workload/difficulty of an AP class to that of my future college courses, or should I expect a lot tougher? Is there any AP class that accurately reflects the rigor of college courses (such as AP Chem or Bio)? It would help knowing what to expect, especially since I will likely be trying to get my degree in less than four years. Thank you in advance! #college-classes #apclasses #college-advice #class-difficulty #classes #college
Is it better to take AP or Honors courses?
I have consistently been receiving B's in AP Chemistry, and for future reference, is it better to take an Honors Course and receive an A, or an AP Course and receive a B? I know colleges love AP courses, but is it worth it to sacrifice hours in an AP class I am not particularly interested in instead of taking the Honors option? #apclasses #college-admissions
