[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm posting this on the college board because many of you have had kids who've been in these classes!   Thank you in advance.

My daughter attends a rigorous private.  They don't allow any APs until 11th grade. 
Unlike other privates, they've kept APs in the sciences.

She's a math/science kid.  She's one of a handful of kids (10 in the grade?) who is in honors pre-calc this year and doing very well.
Her science track was physics in 9th grade and chemistry in 10th.  She's received (or is receiving) high As in both.

[b]Is it reasonable to double up on AP bio and AP physics C next year as well as take Calc BC?[/b]
Then senior year she would take Linear algebra and probably AP Chem.

IS this insane?  Doable? 
Is AP bio a lot of work?
Is it a bad idea to take physics C at the same time as calculus?

Thank you so much for any thoughts!  [/quote]

I notice that she hasn't done regular Bio yet.  Why not do that in 11th grade instead of directly jumping into AP?  Some TJ kids take the Honors BIO class in 9th grade and sit for the AP exam. Maybe she can do it too.

Doubling up on AP Physics C and BC Calc is routinely done at TJ so if your kid is TJ material (but is at a Private with excellent teachers) she should go for it.  [/quote]
