GPA as a Junior / AP Classes senior year

I passed my first junior year semester with a grade average of 81. This compared to grade average of 88 and 93 for freshman and sophomore year was much lower, and it made my 3.5-3.7 GPA drop to a 3.3.

I'm changing to a school that has 7 periods (compared to 4 blocks, like my current school has), therefore I have more space in my schedule.

What AP classes would you recommend I take? / What other things can I do to increase my GPA ?

Any advice is helpful, thank you !

PS: I meant to post it under the admissions community and I don't know how to change it sorry!
