<p>Serious Pre-senior stress over here. </p>
<p>So here it is. I'm a senior stressing over my schedule, should I take AP Physics B or Anatomy? </p>
<p>Here's my schedule for next year:
AP BIO
Pre-Calc
AP English
AP Japanese
(AP Physics B or Anatomy)
First Aid/Gym </p>
<p>My junior year I took 3 APs (AP US, AP ENG LANG, AP CHEM) and I handle that...decently. I maintained an A- cumlative average, but I was unable to handle the stress and emotional baggage caused by the heavy work load and dissapointing test scores. AP Chemistry is by far the most difficult class I have ever taken. I had a horrible teacher and I struggled the whole year. I've never had a class where I constanly was getting C's, (sometimes I'd get B's and A's but the C's really brought me down). Basically this class killed my confidence as a student. Not extraggerating when I say this class have driven me to having depressing thoughts and panic attacks. Worst. Class. of. my. life. </p>
<p>Ever since this class I just feel like a failure. </p>
<p>Now here comes Physics B. I heard some horror stories about this class. I'm worried I won't be able to handle the work in the class. I cannot have another repeat of AP Chem. </p>
<p>Factors I've considered: I'm a busy person- I volunteer, I work, I tutor, I participate in extracuriculars, I play tennis, and etc. In addition, I have to apply to colleges this fall. How will this work with a heavy work load?? Finally, I want to have some fun my senior year. I want to spend time with my friends! </p>
<p>I know taking physics B will impress the colleges I'm applying to this fall, but then I think they won't be impressed if I get C's in the class. However, I have no way of knowing how I'll do in the class until I actually get in there. </p>
<p>Logically, my scared brain is telling me anatomy will make things easier for me overall. In terms of getting a better grade, having more free time, and being less depressed. But I don't want to...just settle, or look lazy to colleges. </p>
<p>So I need advice...Should I take physics B or anatomy?? Will colleges look badly on me for not taking another AP like physics or what? </p>
<p>Tell me about your experence if you have taken physics B? Was it the most diffcult class of your life? Or was it just a bit of a struggle? Was the work load large and time consuming? How did you do on the AP Exam? </p>
<p>Other notes: *I have not previously taken any physics class.
*Applying premed or bio

<p>Thank you.</p>
