Things to keep in mind…...

When choosing multiple Advanced Placement (A.P.) classes, ask yourself:

1) Am I willing to do all the extra homework that comes with an advanced placement course?2) Is this course in keeping with my area of future career interest?3) How many A.P. courses can I take and still keep my grades up?4) Would I rather earn a “C” in an AP class or an “A” in a regular class?

College Board Article About How Many AP Classes to Take

It is good to challenge yourself! Just be smart about how and when you do it!
