AP Bio or Honors Physics

Since I cannot get into AP Chemistry this year, I was wondering if I should do AP Biology or Honors Physics. I am a Junior this year and I want to do Computer Science or Business in college.

I’m pretty solid with both memorization for biology and math (currently in calculus AB)
If I did AP Biology I was thinking of doing AP Chemistry and AP Physics next year (skip honors physics); however, my Biology teacher isn’t the best but she’s not too bad.
If I did Honors Physics I was thinking of doing AP Chemistry and AP Physics next year; however, my honors physics teacher would be leaving half way during the year for pregnancy leave

I’m still not sure what will give me the strongest fundamental skills for my major0 I was leaning towards AP Bio simply because it’s an AP and I’m not sure Honors Physics would help me on SAT Physics or any of the 3 AP Physics exams. I would like some help if anyone has any advice. Thanks!

It’s actually 4 AP exams (Physics 1, Physics 2, Physics C: Mechanics, and Physics C:E&M.

Since none of us here knows the curriculum for honors physics at your school, I can’t comment on how well it will prep you for the Subject Test. I will say, however, that any of the AP classes will not prep you for the Subject Test. Also, since you don’t indicate which AP Physics class you’d take as a senior, it’s hard to give guidance. AP Physics 1 without a prior physics course is fine; AP Physics C without a prior course will likely have you screaming from the rafters.

Our class would go straight to AP Physics C so I’m pretty sure our Physics curriculum covers Physics 1 and 2 then. However any recommendation on AP Biology or Honors Physics?
