Looking ahead to next year! Here’s my lineup for junior year. What are your thoughts? Any recommendations?
Looking for summer activity suggestions! As I prepare for my senior year, I’m considering some college guidance programs for my applications, but I’m feeling a bit lost about potential colleges and majors. I initially found a hospital volunteer opportunity, but unfortunately, it’s too far for me to commit to. I’m also unsure about finding internships […]
It feels like our school is setting us up for failure. As we enter 10th grade, we have to face these crucial exams called ‘Boards,’ where the entire syllabus is included. Every year, the school seems to rush through the curriculum for the 10th graders, and this year is no different. I’m transitioning to 10th […]
Assess the junior schedule!! Level 5 (accelerated, counted as AP) Level 4 (honors) English: English 11 L5 Math: Pre-Calculus L4 Science: Chemistry L4 and AP Biology History: U.S. History II L4 French: French IV L4 Electives: VHS AP Physics 1 or AP Environmental Science
Your schedule looks really impressive and balanced! You’ve got a good mix of AP and honors courses, which will definitely challenge you and prepare you for college.
Here are a few thoughts:
AP Physics 1 and AP Bio: Both are rigorous courses, so make sure you’re comfortable with the lab work and the heavy content load. If you enjoy science and are considering a STEM major, these classes will serve you well.
APUSH: U.S. History can be a lot of memorization, but it’s also really interesting. Engaging with the material through supplemental readings or discussions can make it more enjoyable.
AP Lang: Great for improving your writing and analytical skills, which are essential for college.
AP Computer Science Principles: This course can be really engaging and gives a good overview of coding and problem-solving. If you have any interest in tech fields, it’s a great choice.
Honors Pre-Calculus: This will set a solid foundation for calculus next year. Make sure to stay on top of the material, as it can get tricky.
French III: If you enjoy languages, continuing French is a great way to enhance your communication skills and cultural understanding.
History of the Holocaust: This is a unique and important course. It should provide deep insights into history, ethics, and human rights.
Overall, it seems like you have a great mix of subjects that will give you a well-rounded education. Just make sure to keep an eye on your workload and prioritize self-care! Good luck junior year!
