How many classes are you allowed to take? How many AP classes does your school offer? For example, if your school offered 3 AP classes, this would be a great schedule, whereas if it offered 30 AP classes, not so much. Overall, it's a pretty good schedule for a sophomore. You are taking Algebra II, one math class above the one you should be taking. You say you sucked at algebra, so maybe instead of taking an ahead class take AP geometry. A good grade in AP geometry looks better than a so-so grade in Algebra II. So, this is a good schedule but as I do not know what classes your school offers, I cannot say exactly.

I took all ap courses available to me, our school has requirements, junior and senior years have a ton though AP geometry was not an option, Algebra II was the only math class a 1-year advanced student I could take unless I wanted to do weird AP courses, which to me algebra is more important as I am interested in physics. Chem And Bio have honors options, however as I am taking both, I do not believe that will work. Thank you

It should be noted that there is no such course as AP Geometry see here: apstudents.collegeboard.org/course-index-page. Also typically the honors versions of courses do not vary significantly from their non-honors versions so I would highly encourage you to take the honors versions of both Chem and Bio as it demonstrates to colleges that you are willing to take the most rigorous course available even if it is not that much harder than the normal course.

my school is not swapping courses next year unless its important, so I kinda messed myself up. ill talk to my counselor over email but I doubt it will work which kinda sucks.

I think this is great! I have a similar course load and I think it'll show rigor especially with AP world on there with another AP and 2 sciences.
