AP Bio or AP Phys C?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm gonna be a senior next year. I originally signed up for both AP Bio and AP Phys C, but today I found out there is a conflict in my schedule so now I have to take a class out. I didn't want to take any other classes out because I want to have 4 years of every subject. I already have 4 years of science by the end of junior year (bio h, chem h, phys h, ap chem), so I decided to take one of the sciences out for next year. The question is, which one should I take out? </p>

<p>My schedule:
Chamber Orchestra H
Symphony Orchestra H
AP Calc BC
Honors Seminar in Writing
AP Psychology
AP Spanish Lang
AP Bio
AP Phys C</p>

<p>Stuff to consider:
I am planning on doing pre-med in college, which makes me lean towards bio, but there could be a possibility that I might go into engineering...so phys would be helpful there. </p>

<p>I loved Bio H freshman year, and this year I loved the mechanics part of physics but I had no idea what electrostatics/magnetism are, so I didn't really like those topics. </p>

<p>Both teachers aren't that great so....either way.</p>

<p>AP Phys C is calculus-based and I'll be taking BC next year. So, could that be a potential problem....that I don't know calculus going into the course? My teacher did say that they teach calculus in the first week of Phys C.</p>

<p>Any ideas?? Help greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Ask kids who’ve taken it in the past. Even if neither teacher is great, there might be one worse than the other, and that makes all the difference. Honestly I’d take Biology if you’re planning on pre-med (assuming “planning on doing” is more concrete than “might go into”). But I lurve biology and think Physics in general is awful, so I’m a bit biased. :] Again, snoop around your school!</p>

<p>Yeah, physics c exam is pretty tough. I found the bio exam much better.</p>
