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?

How difficult is it to get a 5 in AP Spanish Language and Culture without being a native speaker?
I'm interested in taking the course and have experience taking previous Spanish courses, but this is my first time taking an AP Spanish course so I'm a little anxious in wondering if it's even possible to get a 5 on the AP exam without being a native speaker.

Is changing my schedule worth it for technical school ?
My school offers a program where juniors and seniors can apply to leave for their first two blocks to go to technical school. They earn four elective credits per year for this and can even earn college credit. They still have to earn enough credits to graduate, so sacrifices have to be made. In my case I would like to apply for their engineering and robotics program. Since I’ll only have two classes a day, I won’t be able to take a lot of the classes I want to. These are AP Calc C (I can take BC the previous year instead of AB), two additional years of French (including French 4 and AP), two years of band (I’ve been doing band since fourth grade; I play seven instruments), AP Comp Sci A, AP Chem (I’ve loved chemistry since third grade), and AP Psych. Will this look bad for college? Is it worth it?
HavertownWould this be a good schedule for someone looking to major in physics and electrical engineering Also, which route should I take for my twelfth grade year?
I’m currently in eighth grade, but since seventh grade I’ve been planning out my high school schedule. I’m unsure on my twelfth grade schedule, though. I believe the science classes might be too much. Based on everything else I’m taking, what do you think I should do? I want to major in electrical engineering and or physics, but I have a strong interest towards American History.
