I totally feel you on the AP dilemma. Last year, I faced the same issue and honestly, it was tough. My school offers a bunch of AP classes, and I was thinking about packing my schedule with as many as possible. But then I realized that taking too many could backfire big time.
I ended up taking 4 APs and managed to keep my grades up. If I had gone for 6, I think my stress levels would have skyrocketed, and my grades would’ve dropped. For me, 4 strong APs looked way better than struggling with 6 and barely scraping by.
So yeah, my tip? Choose wisely and don't overload yourself. Quality over quantity for sure!
