AP Bio and AP Chem - at the same time?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm planning on taking both of them next year (Junior year)
Do you think I'm making the wrong choice? Would it be too hard and time-consuming?</p>

<p>I'm also taking APUSH and French Honors..
should i drop one of the sciences?</p>

<p>advice would be appreciated. thanks :)</p>

<p>No! Don't drop! I took both together, and it was totally worth it. I love science though, so unless you like these subjects, you won't enjoy taking both at once. I took APUSH and Honors French that year too. Not hard. I slept at maybe 12 am every night. I would say that that's pretty good.</p>

3

<p>Don't drop. I took 3 AP sciences together and self-studied the other. It's fine.</p>

<p>Bio and chem would be good together.</p>

<p>I'm taking AP Bio and AP Physics B, but only because I really hate chem (I'll still take AP Chem, but senior year because I'll get accepted to a college before AP scores are released, lol).</p>

<p>Thanks everyone :)
Hopefully you guys are average students like me.. not geniuses who can handle tons of APs</p>

<p>I guess no sleep for me next year</p>

<p>You should definitely take it. That way, you'll learn about the importance of a good work ethic in the future.</p>

7

<p>I'm doing that next year (senior year) + Physics. My junior and senior course loads are definitely flip flopped of what they should be. :(</p>

8

<p>Take them together! That's what i did last year and it actually helps because the two courses share some of the same topics.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice :)
But after thinking about it for a long time, I decided not to do it</p>

10

<p>why, it might be good if you do it, esp if you want to consider a top school...3 ap's would be better than 2...also, would help if you're consideringa science major eventually</p>

11

<p>if you wanna die...go ahead! More power to ya.</p>

<p>no, really, if you really, really, really, really wanna take 2 Science AP's in your Junior year, go for it.</p>

12

<p>I took AP Bio AP Chem and APES. They complemented each other pretty well.</p>

13

<p>I think you can handle it. And, as others have mentioned, many Chem concepts will help you a LOT in Bio!</p>

<p>Some people asked me why I chose not to do it.. and:</p>

<ul>
<li>I'm not considering a science major
(I'm leaning more towards Social Sciences/Humanities)</li>
<li>I'll be too busy with activities next year (Just like everyone else, but I don't think I can handle everything)</li>
</ul>
