AP classes
i'm going to be a junior this year, and in my schedule i have two ap classes: AP Psychology and AP US History. the thing is, i only signed up for AP Psychology and regular US History, NOT AP US History. i don't know whether i should switch out of that class or not. i'm scared about the workload and i'm not even that great in history. i took AP World History last year, and i only got a 3 on the AP exam. so i don't know if AP US is going to be the same, but i don't think i can handle having 2 AP classes while studying for the SAT's.
what should i do? i know it's better to have more AP classes, but i'm not sure if i can handle all the work. should i switch out to regular US History?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Junior year is very stressful, you have competion in rank, and preparing for the SAT....AP Classes will be more demanding but at the end of the year and senior year you will be extreamly happy you put the effort into it this year!
I think you should definatly take AP U.S. History, I took it last year and it is easy---Though i belive it is less intersting than AP World History which i got a 3 on also. You can do it...as long as you pay attention and study especially at the end of the year youll be fine :)
Just remember not to mix up the two Roosevelts......That was the major essay on my test and i blew it!! haha
AP Classes help your rank points, i took 5 AP's last year and my rank ended up being really good at the end of the year, soo it was worth the work after all! Just try your best and you will be fine :)
Good luck!!!...... Im in Psych also :)
Have a great year!

AP US is easier than AP World.

I would switch out to regular history. You obviously already did some thinking and came to a decision about whether to be in AP or normal, so don't let a mistake in your schedule make you question your decision. During APs and SATs you will be very grateful to not have to worry about it, and although its good to take APs, it doesn't look good on college applications if you take one and then don't do well on the actual AP. But AP psychology..very impressive.
