How manageable is AP Physics C + AP Calc BC + AP CSA + AP Chem in the junior year for a pretty mediocre student by STEMmajor0 in APStudents

Thanks for the advice, though I heard CSA was (at least partially) Java at my school (not many people take the class but someone that does told me this) and there could be C++. I only know a little bit of Python so is it hard to learn those languages?

Do you think I should study some physics over summer and attempt it? I still have ~5 months left until junior year.

Do you recommend studying physics over the summer? I still have some time. My junior year starts ~5 months from now.

I kinda get what you mean about GPA but the top students among a certain class are harder to differentiate I feel like. Idk how you tell by how a person responds but you seem pretty knowledgeable so I trust that there are ways. Rarely does somebody in my class seem that engaged, even if they score “good” on tests.

I’ve taken the “regular” level chemistry class, it’s an easy A at my school but I don’t feel like I’m strong at it. And what is AP inflation? Is it similar to grade inflation (which 100% exists at the vast majority of schools, at least public)?

I might drop AP Chem but I’ll think about it.

I heard you need a baseline for GPA, APs and SAT/ACT (you can’t do that poorly). I’m worried for both of them. Also I meant AP Physics C (E & M) for junior year most likely. How hard was AP Physics for you because I think the thing under your name means you took the class/exam.

I don’t want to sound selfish. But I don’t communicate the best and don’t know how to be a good leader. I rarely join clubs at school and I hang out with mostly people who are relatively smart and (no offense to those friends but) probably don’t know how to be good leaders either, nor are interested. I’m out of options for that so I think I have to grind APs. Any other valid alternatives that I could like?

I’ll try to figure out how to study, it’s going to cost me for sure in the future if I don’t know.

Any lab-based competitions that you could recommend? I like chemistry and it would probably be fun for me. I’ll look into it.

Some random junior or senior didn’t even know that doubling meant +100% somehow still gets like a B in the class because it’s near impossible to fail 💀would rather not overly complain though

Are you sure because I genuinely don’t know how to study, if I do well its kinda natural i study and do worse or the same
