AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a sophomore's course selection for junior year, contemplating a rigorous schedule that includes AP Chemistry, BC Calculus, AP Language, Spanish 4, and USVA History Honors. The student is weighing the options of taking AP Physics with regular Psychology versus regular Physics with AP Psychology. Concerns are raised about the workload of managing multiple AP courses simultaneously, particularly with the potential for four AP classes alongside regular Psychology. Key considerations include personal interest in the subjects, parental advice, the quality of teaching, future major relevance, and the possibility of taking certain courses in senior year instead. The emphasis is on balancing motivation and preparation with a heavy academic load.

Hi, I'm currently a sophomore and my current classes and grades are :
Chemistry 1 Honors: A
PreCalc/Trig Honors: A
English 10 Honors: A-
AP World History: A-
Art 2: A
Spanish 3: A

Next year (junior year), I'm thinking about taking AP Chem, BC Calculus, AP Lang, Spanish 4 and USVA History Honors. That leaves me with 2 extra classes. I don't know if I should take AP Physics and Regular
Psychology or Regular Physics and AP Psychology.
My school only offers Regular Physics and AP Physics. I don't know if it will be a lot of work next year to take AP Chem, BC Calc, and AP Physics at the same time because I'm stocking up on a lot of AP math and AP sciences. Not to mention, I'm also taking AP Lang, so I would be taking 4 AP's with regular Psychology if I decide to do AP Physics. What do you think I should take and why?!

Motivation and preparation are very important when considering heavily loaded schedules.

Which do you like most?
What do your parents suggest?
Are any taught by teachers who are particularly inspirational?
Are any taught by teachers you don't like?
Are you planning to major in a field where one seems more important?
 
Can you not take some of those courses during senior year? Do you have something else planned then?
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
