Should I take 6 AP courses in the same year?

Question

Normally one is supposed to take AP english, math, science, and social studies. I, on the other hand, want to take 6 because currently i am in only 2 but I want to take the normal 4. I've always desired to get into Honors math but was always too timid and shy to actually join. Now I am ineligible to join because I had to but didn't take algebra in 8th grade to enroll in geomety ( which is the honors) the next year. So, here I am stuck without enrolling in honors math, my dream you could say. I am able to take two math courses my sophmore year if I TRULY am ready and prepared to take this challenge.So altogther I can take; pre ap english, math , science, social studies, another math course (ap) and another science course that is also ap. The question is: should I do it.I have been pondering about this for so long you wouldn't believe hoping to take Calculus my 12 grade year. I guess what I am trying to say after all of this is... should I do it. It would help to hear opinin

Answer 1

There will be a lot of home owrk. but dont let this discourage you. that is a great idea. You will regret it if you dont later in life.

Answer 2

Do you tend to get good grades? Are you not afraid of hard work? If you answer yes to both questions, then I'd say go for it! My guidance counselor in high school tried to convince me to not take so many AP classes my senior year of high school, despite the fact that I got almost all A's throughout high school. I didn't listen to him, and I'm glad I didn't!
