<p>Hello, im a current sophomore trying to tentatively plan out the rest of my high school schedule. I definitely want to take AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and Physics at IUPUI. Problem is, I'll have to double up one year and I am not sure what to do. My current plan is to double up AP Bio and AP Chem junior year and take the Physics Senior year, but I am not totally sure about the workload for each of those classes. Any thoughts/suggestions?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Background: Doubled up in Regular Physics and Chemistry this year with a 99% average in Physics and a 94% in Chemistry(Teacher was so bad that she didn't know the difference between a hydrocarbon and a carbohydrate :P) </p>
<p>Will also be taking AP English Comp, APUSH Junior year, along with AP Calc AB or Calculus and Analytical Geometry. at IUPUI
Will be taking AP English Lit and AP Psychology Senior year, along with Multivariate Calc and Differential Equations.</p>
<p>I’m almost in the exact same situation. Sophomore and will be taking AP calc next year and need to plan out the 3 AP sciences (ignoring APES). In my case, I love physics, so I know that I will be taking AP Physics next year (junior), and Ap Bio as a senior. I’m guessing taking physics and bio at the same time could be confusing cause they’re not that similar. Chem’s like in the middle so I’m having a tough time deciding which year to take AP Chem. Then senior year I can do physics stuff outside of school.
So I guess you should decide depending on which science you like most, then you’ll be more advanced in that one. And Chem can really go with either one I suppose. I just get the feeling doubling Physics and Bio would be tough.</p>
<p>I’m in this same situation, and I’m going the route of taking AP Bio and AP Chem next year, while taking AP Physics B and a Chem or Bio class at my local university during senior year.</p>
<p>…Or you could do the less recommended method of taking both Physics C exams, Bio, and Chemistry in the same year (that’s what I’m doing).</p>
<p>@apathetic11
thats exactly my idea except physics at the CC.</p>
<p>@ljn3110- thats what i was trying to say, but in half the words :P</p>
<p>@Tenebrous- My counselor is also the biggest brick wall in the world. He barely agreed to let me take two, so i dont think three would work out.</p>
<p>@ jes710- yeah I tend to ramble on a lot. it kills my essay grades in english.</p>
<p>I went to my counselor, then department director, then principal and all o them said hell no the first time (one actually said that). But after persisiting to bother them for almost 2 weeks they decided to let me try it (reluctantly). Now I have to prove myself. lol</p>
<p>Well I have a lovely counselor who told me to drop out :P</p>
<p>That makes me glad my counselor is pretty laissez faire. I went to him with my planned schedule and just gave it to me.</p>
