EMERGENCY: Need help by tomorrow

K so I have to choose tomorrow so I am going to be a Soph next year and wanna take an AP class. My options are (I pick one):

Psychology
Macroeconomics
APUSH
APGov

Im taking in grade 11:

Calc AB
Phys B
Chem
English Lang

So which of the options (first list) should I take? I want to go to an Ivy League school if possible and I dont have any histories other than a Canadian History.

I WILL BE TAKING ALL OF MY AP COURSES ONLINE. Thanks for your opinionm

AP US is a pretty standard AP that a lot of college give credit for. If you have plans to take AP Gov at all, try to take AP US the year before it- it will be a huge help.

Psychology is a pretty easy AP class. I think that one would be the easiest to do well on if you are taking the class online.

Good luck!

What about microeconomics?

Also I plan on taking AP Chemistry. My schedule however wont allow me to take a gr11 chemistry class before it. Since im in Canada for grade 9 and 10 we have 'regular' science classes that cover all units. Will grade 9 and grade 10 science with 2 Chemistry units be enough for AP Chemistry?

Do you find that you need a vast knowledge of chemistry BEFORE taking the AP Chemistry class to do well?

I don't know about micro, and I agree with Chris. On the Chemistry, it depends on how well you pick up on formulas, can memorize things like polyatomic ions, and stuff like that. In 10th grade I learned almost nothing about chemistry from my class, but I took AP Chem and got a 4 on the test. The classes should cover everything you need to know without saying "you should know this, so we're not bothering teaching it to you"

What about taking Psychology without Biology?

Or APUSH without normal USH?

Also can you reccomend any online place for me to take AP classes other than Apex Learning?

Thanks.

You don't need regular U.S. History to take APUSH. I've taken all AP history classes in high school. I mean, sure it'd help, but regular focuses more on dates and times and who did what. AP is more about why things happened and what were the results- not that dates aren't important, but t's not the most important thing.

As to the psychology, I'm not sure I understand. I don't really see a connection between biology and psychology. I mean, there are biological problems that go on with the brain and nerves, but I'm not sure they go in depth with that in biology, or psychology for that matter.

And sorry, I don't know any other places to take AP classes online, but if I do, I will most certainly pass them on to you.

Well, don't go for APUSH. It's a little too early. Psychology is a really easy one to pass, but not as much recognize. Don't take AP Chem

I never took econ (next year for me) and Gov (next year too)
