How many AP classes did your junior take?

Any recommendations about #s?
Student gets As and had pretty good study habits, not a very fast reader though.

I have a kid who is very lopsided humanities. Very, very lopsided.

1 sophomore year (World History)

3 junior year (APUSH, AP Lang, AP Geo)— it’s a very reading and writing intensive load. She wanted AP European instead of AP Geo and the school said no. Not allowed with APUSH. She’s managing fine. Probably would have been fine with European.

Scheduled for 5 senior year, but 7 tests (AP Lit, AP Comparative Gov (2), AP Latin, AP Econ (2), AP AB Calc). Should be fine because she is incredibly strong in Latin and government, and the work load is a better balance.

The AP matters. AP Geo is the only one she’s taking that isn’t pretty intense. Now, AP Psych, AP environmental Science, AP Stats, etc. you can take more

APUSH is going to probably max out his reading bandwidth then. I’m sure APUSH, AP Calc, AP Physics 1, AP Art would be fine. But he might struggle with just APUSH plus AP Lang. He should talk to his counselor with an eye towards choosing classes that don’t overload his reading.

Our school allows 4, so taking 4, one in each core.

My DD took 6. All As and almost all 5s. But I would not recommend that many for most students. It’s not necessary and didn’t give her as much college credit as we had hoped.

1-2 is ok, 3 is solid, 4 is plenty, 5 is pushing it.

We are planning 3. Doing 2 as a sophomore. But my DD goes to a smaller school and there aren’t as many APs offered as at a large public high school.

Current senior did 3 junior year -- AP Lang, AP Calc AB, APUSH.

Sophomore is planning on 3 -- AP Lang, AP Calc AB, IB Biology (she's already done 2 AP social studies classes and hated them so opting for IB Bio instead of APUSH)

2 AP and 1 IB.
