dog lover Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Course selection is coming up for junior year....this is what I have in mind: Religion Honors Physics Honors Pre-Calc Honors US History Honors English Health Band Gym Senior year: (I don't have to commit to this yet) Religion AP Physics AP Calculus Honors Econcomics/Honors Participation in Government (Each one semester) AP English Band Gym Theater My mom was lecturing talking to me today about course selection/etc and she thinks I'm not doing enough. For college. As in, I should take Ap US History next year, not theater, move health to senior year and take spanish or some other academic course, etc. I feel I have enough on my plate!!! Anyone have opinions? Note: None of this is in any way meant to be bragging because I happen to take honors classes. I'm just looking for advice, esp. from people who are in college or at least closer to it than me. ~Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physics, Pre-Calc, US History and English, are not subjects where you have no homework. Jesse and Jesusfreak would be in a much better position to answer, but I do feel that you are not a slacker and have a very good idea of what you can handle and where to draw the line. Personally, I think your choices are good ones and I think theater will be a good course for you to enjoy. Theater also takes a lot of work, but sometimes this type work is fun. My vote is to keep your schedule the way it is. If you overload yourself and your grades suffer, what good is it to take the extra course?

The nice thing about AP is that not only does it look awesome on your transcript, it gets you out of classes in college, which is awesome. Being ahead in your credits is nice because you might be able to graduate early, or course select sooner than normal. Plus the classes, because they're more difficult, prepare you more for the course load in college. I suggest taking as many as possible without losing your sanity.

Jesusfreak Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I still suggest taking higher level courses. They're worth it. In my experience, they were also a lot more fun because the students were more intelligent, and the teachers seem to enjoy teaching AP classes more, which does make a difference. (And like I said, if you do well on the AP test, you don't have to take it in college. So you should take AP classes in subjects you don't like so you don't have to do it in college.)

Most teachers will guide you into good study habits. Once you learn these, you will pass the tests. Of course there are some bozo teachers who don't know how to create good tests, and those almost no one can pass, but the AP History, I do believe if you ask the AP History teacher to help you create good study habits, you will ace the test! And I tell you what, you tell me the areas of history you are studying, and I will try and fly to that city and see if I can take pictures for you. How does that sound?

But if I don't do well on the test, then I will have to take it again.. In most cases, if you do well in the class, you'll do well on the test. If you want, you can go out and buy the study books for the AP classes you take (they make them for the SAT's as well). Those are good if you only care about passing the test. If you still don't do well on the test, then at least when you take the class over again, it'll be easier (that's what saved me when I tool calculus. My AP teacher didn't teach to the test, so we all got 1s, and I had to take calc in college. But my college calc professor was horrible! Remembering stuff from my AP calc class helped me pass calc in college.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog lover Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 My parents & I had another talk today, and I think this is how it's going to be: Junior year: Religion English Honors US History Honors PreCalc Honors Physics Honors Gym Band Ap Chemistry (or possibly Ap Statistics) Senior year: Religion AP English Economics/Participation in Government AP Calculus AP Physics Gym Band Health .5 space open for an elective or study period. My chem teacher said i could take Ap Chem next year if I wanted to, as long as I was taking physics. I moved Health to senior year to open up the space for chem, and got rid of the theatre class because my mom says I can take something outside of school if I want to. And this gets an Ap class in junior year without it being history which i despise! So this seems to be a pretty good compromise, thank goodness! ~Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 My parents & I had another talk today, and I think this is how it's going to be:Junior year: Religion English Honors US History Honors PreCalc Honors Physics Honors Gym Band Ap Chemistry (or possibly Ap Statistics) Senior year: Religion AP English Economics/Participation in Government AP Calculus AP Physics Gym Band Health .5 space open for an elective or study period. My chem teacher said i could take Ap Chem next year if I wanted to, as long as I was taking physics. I moved Health to senior year to open up the space for chem, and got rid of the theatre class because my mom says I can take something outside of school if I want to.

I'm sorry that you will not get to take theater, but hopefully there will be a theater class for you when you attend university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my mom figured out it would probably be cheaper to do it that way, based on how much tuition is!! ~Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
