A peice of advice I give to most. Never take AP classes if possible. Most high schools offer dual enrollment. Meaning you can actually take college classes at the same time as high-school. They are always easier than AP classes and your entire credit doesn't usually depend on one test but the entire class. So it's much easier to pass and you get the college credit. Some colleges also accept hogh school students if you can pass the ACT and prerequisites to get in. It's much simpler than you might image. But overall, nothing is worth sanity. Drop everything if that's what you need. Take breaks. Take time off from stressful things. Life's about balance.
