Senior year of high school (12th):

 

-AP Language/English (whatever they're calling it now)

-AP Economics

-AP Chemistry

-AP Human Geography (I meant to take it this year, but my schedule conflicted and I took AP European History)

-Statistics if I am feeling particularly dangerous or pre-calc I guess, going to need to ask what would be recommended. I took the lowest path available that wasn't remedial up until now but am left with an extra year in math.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two electives a semester are spent at the local college, so I am not sure about these yet as they tend to rely on availability, though I would like:

 

Investigations, Japanese I, Japanese II, and probably Psychology. If Japanese I is available during the summer I will probably take it then, otherwise this.

I didn't see the commercial, but I'll keep my eye out for it. 12th grade, next year for me.

oh, is European history as fun as I hear it is?

Not sure what you've heard, but my classes is more than half seniors, and the teacher is very lax. All we really do is take notes in class (provided on powerpoints), take the test every second week or so and do a study guide, with the occasional DBQ practice. Overall it is not that hard of a class for me, but I have already taken many classes on European history so I can't really give a fair assessment of the difficulty. It also varies on teacher of course.

oh wait, is it regular European history, or is it AP European history. Also, what kind of things do you learn about (I'm am such a history geek, I apologize for my inappropriate fangirling )

AP, it starts (sadly) at the end of the High Middle Ages, around 1350 and is supposed to continue up until I believe the Cold War, but many teachers do not make it past WW2. It would have been nice for the course to cover the middle ages more thoroughly, but that's how it is.

 

I am not exactly sure on what you would like to know, but it definitely goes into various subjects at each period, economically, politically, religiously, and culturally. The text we have seems to highlight various aspects of womens' role in society and progress toward equality, as well as the lives of peasants which is inevitably the same for much of the time covered; the peasants are oppressed, rebel, and get crushed, with minor advances along the way. The chapters dedicated to the peasants are obviously the more dry ones available. Most of the emphasis seems to be focused on the periods predating the Industrial Revolution, from what I have seen.

 

The AP Euro "5 Steps to a 5" is a great study reference, by the way, and could probably show what the course covers in much more detail and explanation.

thanks bro, also nice sig.

I am currently in 11th grade. This year I am taking AP Calculus AB, US History, AP Statistics, Study Hall, Chemistry, Advanced American Literature & Composition, Game Design & Programming Basics (first semester), and Webpage Design Basics (second semester).
 
I have yet to finalize my 12th grade schedule, but I currently hope to take the following:

• AP Calculus BC
• AP Physics B
• Advanced Humanities & Composition
• AP U.S. Government (second semester)
• Physical Education
• Study Hall (first semester)
• Dynamics, Chaos, and Fractals (college course) (first semester)
   

This would result in a total of five classes plus a study hall and a college course first semester, and five classes second semester. In general, my school requires students to take 7 courses (which could include a study hall) each semester. However, taking a course at the local university counts for two class periods. Additionally, seniors are allowed to apply for early release second semester, which allows you to leave school two hours early.
 
By the time I have finished my junior year I will have already completed almost all of my requirements for graduation from high school. My current plan is to double major in mathematics and physics, so my primary goal with my senior year course schedule is to prepare myself for learning those subjects at an advanced level.

[Mephala 2,633]

I haven't finished finals yet, but I'm in Year 11, so I pick courses at the star of February.

Right now, if I take no spares, I'm thinking:

 

AP Physics (interest course)

AP Biology (interest course)

AP Functions (interest course)

AP French (interest course + useful since I will be going into school in a foreign country that speaks French)

AP Anthropology and Psychology (required)

Data Management (required)

Writer's Craft (I already took my AP Year 12 English/Lit) OR AP European History (interest courses)

Business/Marketing (required)

 

Might take Law, we will see.

 

I took all the courses I require to graduate, but I applied to an Year 12 school that only takes 45-90 students a year and got in. Since I plan on going into business and they are supposed to specialize in that, I decided to go. Good experience.

The ones I bolded are the ones I need to take, the others are up in the air.

 

EDIT: Oh, we don't have "AP" courses in Canada (or at least not here) but that's as close as what we really have to what you other people refer to it as. So I called them that to make it easier.

At my school AP Government is two semesters, I would double check that to make sure you that you have time for all of your classes. Not sure if you already took it, but I am pretty sure AP economics is also two semesters.

 

@Zenith, good luck in  AP Anthropology, the teacher I had made the course a nightmare of boredom for my class. I have to say, I hope that you have at least some interest in tribal cultures, because the two major areas that we examined are those and modern society, the two areas that I, personally, find to be absolutely tedious and dull.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I don't know to be completely honest. I'm in my senior year of high school now, and I'm not sure what ill be doing once high school ends. I know I'll be taking some sort of language class at a nearby community college. I'll probably try to learn Japanese, or Mandarin Chinese. Anyways for college I'm thinking about a 16 month computer course. I'm not sure yet.

[Danger Dash 101]

Well, I don't select my subjects for 2015 until the end of this year. On a similar note my subjects that I am yet to start (very soon) are:

 

-chemistry 

-biology

-physics

-calculus 

-R.E (religious education, compulsory)

-English (compulsory)

 

I would expect that these subjects will be very demanding in terms of 'time', 'homework' and 'attention'. Goodbye internet and  free time.

[Ampharos 1,009]

I'm not too sure yet for core classes, but for electives I'll be choosing Band, Spanish 3, and Multi-genre writing.

[Cyan Blue 946]

French 2

History 1

Art in 2 Dimensions 

Band

Algebra 1 (I suck)

English 1

[Calekai 32]

Next year I'll be attending university as a freshman, I have yet to get my schedule though.

 

I'll be double majoring in astrophysics and evolutionary and ecological biology.

[Celtore 2,770]

Some great ones this semester! It's a lot of fun working on this stuff, the only one I'm really watching out for is Software Analysis.

 

System Applications Development

Software Analysis

C++

Microprocessors

Data structures

Security

[Discordian 6,015]

I'm not in school but would "real life management" and "career advancement" count?

I've always wanted to learn another language though. When I have the money to do it maybe I should find a way to do that. I hear Rosetta Stone is pretty neat good.
