Mr. Sall, a counselor at ANHS, states, “Be confident in your decisions, especially when enrolling in advanced courses, because it can be very difficult to level down or get your classes changed.”
It is important to take time to think and consider the classes a student should take because accidentally choosing a class that is too difficult or uninteresting may become overwhelming to change or to stay in for the school year.
Deciding to take multiple AP classes can make a big impact on your daily schedule and it should not be considered lightly by students. Students should analyze their performance level and current grades to help them dictate what courses they should take. They should also take into consideration their interests or fields they want to pursue.
