Title: Why school is bad
Post by: Die_Endermen on 19 April 2017, 10:05:28 PM
Ok. So I am stuck with a life-changing decision.

Should I take AP Chem or AP Bio????

I am going to take the one suggested first and the other in 12th grade, but I don't know what to do.

I would specifically like your input @Lividup64 @MutluMolly @AtomicDonut @_ForeverSwag878_

if you are thinking of taking all AP classes, don't bother

if not take AP chem

hmm I really don't know, lol i think you should do bio first(then again i have no idea), you can always do the other one later like in 12th grade.

In my opinion, I would take whichever one you did first of the regular (Bio or Chem)
I don't know how your school system works, and I'm assuming since you're a sophmore (Just taking a guess), I'd assume you took Bio first, like regular Bio. So I'd do Bio AP, since it's less fresh in your memory, and then I'd take chem.

My plan right now for my science classes are like this:
Freshman: Biology
Sophmore: Bio AP and Chem
Junior: Chem AP and either Physics or Psychology AP
Senior: Physics AP

TL;DR
If you took Bio first and Chemistry second, then take Bio AP first and then Chem AP
And vice versa, if you took Chem first and Bio second, then take Chem AP and Bio AP.
BUT, if you took neither of those classes (Regular Bio or Chem), then take Bio AP first.

@Blacka_ch33ze

Freshman: Bio
This year: chem
Junior: AP Bio
Senior: AP Chem

All of the people at my school tell me that AP bio is hard, but I seem to like bio so I'm going to see how it is. I can always switch out if I don't like it by the end of 1st semester.

Don't take physics, unless if you plan on going into that field. AP chem is essential for fields that have lots of education in college.

Well, that's what I plan to do. Physics and Chemistry is really important to the type of field I plan to go into (Astrophysics), so that's the main reason I find it imperative to take. Plus, not only that, but the way my schedule goes, it's basically a rank from the Easiest to the Hardest, in my opinion, if you exclude Psychology AP, that seems like a cakewalk.

However, from what I've heard, AP psych is really easy. Other AP classes outside of science can be hard and burdensome, especially before exam time from what I've experienced.
