If not, then your school is encouraging too many people to join AP classes, a clear indication that tey are not up to par with the level that should be expected of a college course.

Do you understand why I am telling you that it's not a good idea to take so many AP classes? Or even advanced classes that are easy?

There are no non-AP/non-CP classes for calculus, statistics, 4th year Spanish, English/History (Senior year there are honors classes! hooray!), biology (1st year college prep/remedial or 2nd year AP), chemistry I am in honors but the AP class = 2nd year, physics is honors I think but requires the completion of calculus, and Art History is AP or college prep. And if there aren't enough kids for the AP Art History, everyone gets put in the college prep one.
I know why you're telling me not to take all these AP classes, but you have to realize that the AP classes are really just slightly-above-honors level. :/
Towelie -- I may drop biology, but I'd rather take only 5 classes my senior year.

oh yeah, you didnt take 7 classes your freshman year, so you cant do 5 junior and senior year.

At my school, when you're a junior or a senior, they are literally no alternatives to taking an AP/IB class. To stay in IB, you need to maintain a ~4.6-4.8(Not quite sure) GPA to remain in the program. Meaning, you must take an AP or IB course. IB courses are even sometimes harder than AP courses, and they both count for college credit. I'm only going to be a sophmore next year, and two of my AP courses are literally required. We only have a choice for one elective, and thats it. If we don't take an AP/IB(IB courses are weighted 5.0 also), for our first elective, our GPA would be to low to stay in the program. If anything, I would advise you to take the AP courses you actually like, and for the ones that you probably might need to take to impress your colleges(Art History for example), just take the AP Exam. Also, in our school, no matter what your grade is, if you get a 5 on the AP Exam, you automatically get an A in the class. Some classes I would just advise you to stay away from. AP Statistics for example. Statistics to math is what a quadraplegic homosexual midget is to a human.
God I hate Statistics.
Seriously.
