If, by any chance, you've read something like this on SparkNotes, yes, I'm that guy.
So I'm a junior, going on senior next school year. I'm currently taking English 3, although Honors English is offered to juniors. However, juniors in regular English can still take AP English next year, if they're strong in reading and writing. My English teacher says I'll be okay in the class, saying that my writing's strong, not to mention I've been getting A's in my English class so far. However, I've heard that a "revered" teacher who is currently teaching AP English won't be teaching it next year, but I hope it won't hinder me too much...
Next year, I'm planning on taking AP Physics B, AP Statistics, AP Calculus BC, Spanish 3, and probably AP Comparative Government coupled with a semester of Economics (seniors are required to take a semester of a government class (usually US Government, and AP US Government is not offered)). I'll probably be in Band as well. My school offers a relatively large number of AP classes, which leads to some more competition. I know juniors who are taking 3 to 4 AP classes this year, and planning on taking even more the next year. Also, I kind of feel that not being able to take an honors class for a foreign language might be a disadvantage to me, as a normal senior at my school will be taking Honors foreign language, if not, AP, next year (unless they choose not to or can't take the next foreign language class).
So under these circumstances, do you think I should take AP English Lit? And while we're at it, think I should also take AP Comparative Government? Although these AP classes aren't really integral to a major I'm interested in (something like Pre-Med or Biology), I believe they can help me in terms of... oh... analysis and writing. I've demonstrated proficiency in my high school career so far, having gotten a 5 on my AP Bio exam and currently acing my classes (which include AP Calculus AB, AP Chem, and an unofficial AP Computer Science A), so there's that.
