Answer 2

im not on a block schedule,but by looking at those classes,i heard us hist ap is alot of work

Answer 3

Well your doing what we call in college called "acedemic suicide" I think your nuts, but I do the same thing pretty much every semester. I think you pushed it a little too much and I think you will find you did too a little bit. But take a deep breath, NEVER put yourself completly into your school work. Work hard to pass, but honestly if you don't have something you can do to completly step out of school, you will go insane. So I reccomend you take a deep breath, calm down when you feel the world closing in, and have fun. Because if you don't, your dead.

Answer 4

I did a similar setup (on a block schedule), and had no problems. I would recommend bumping up the other courses (trig, chem, physics) to honors, though.

Answer 5

you may kill yourself next year. ap bio is an intense course involving tons of reading and memorization on boring subjects. and ap us history is tons of reading and all memorization. both of those are discribed as the hardest ap courses you can take based on the amount of material you have to cover. and if i was you i would wait to take ap bio until your senior year, especailly when you are also taking 3 other sciences. you will have no life because every ap teacher assumes their class is the most important one so they never consider your course load. just be ready for tons and tons of work and by your senior year you may be extremely burnt out.

Answer 6

wayyy too much science.

I don't suggest taking more than 2 sciences in one year, i know you wont like it, but save 2 sciences for senior year
