AP Classes…is this correct?
1) Is it okay to take AP U.S. History without taking regular U.S. History? Right now, as a sophomore, I’m taking Honors Global History. I want to take AP U.S. History in my junior year, is it possible? Read this, I got it from my school’s website:
Advanced Placement United States History and Government
This is a one year course open to juniors who have demonstrated excellence in their previous social studies classes. The course provides an in-depth knowledge of U.S. History from colonial times to the present, utilizing college-level readings and essays, as well as the use of primary sources and current scholarship. The course prepares students for the U.S. History A.P. Exam in May. Students who receive a 3 or higher (on a 1-5 scale) may be eligible for college credit. In addition to taking the A.P. Exam, students must also take the U.S. History and Government Regents Exam.
2)If I’ve already taken regular Biology in my freshman year, is it possible for me to take AP Biology in my SENIOR year?
3) Should I take three APs in my junior year? [AP chemistry, calculus BC, and U.S. History] Are they hard? I heard that Calculus is pretty hard.

Yes, yes, and maybe.
AP History classes do not have
a prerequisite. You could go from
regular to AP to honors back to AP
and regular again.
Yes, some schools don’t even
make you take Biology 1 before
AP.
It depends. I’m assuming you’re
in pre-cal right now. So, if you
are confident in that class, then
Calc should be a breeze. There was
some poll that I heard of that 90%
of the kids who took Calculus
got a 3,4, or 5 on the AP exam.
AP US history is a lot of memorization.
For chemistry, it’s not exactly how
well you did in your first chemistry
class, but how much you want to
learn the content. Of course, it would
be great if you have an A or B in the
class right now.
