I have currently taken honors/pre-ap chemistry. I am not interested in a science field, so which of these 2 classes (AP bio or honors physics) would be easier? Also, would honors physics be easier than honors chem?
Honors physics should be less time consuming than AP Bio. But what math will you take?
On the other hand, if you do well in AP Bio and get a 5 on the exam, you could fulfill college science requirement.

A vote for AP Bio. AP looks good for college admissions, bio might be a little more interesting/relevant to a non-stem student. Bio is more memorization so maybe easier.
Get an AP Bio prep book and work through that while taking the course.

You should have one year of bio, chem and physics during HS.

I agree with @momofboiler1. Colleges like to see one of each, Bio/Chem/Physics. It is ok to take another year (AP or DE) of one of them, but after you complete the series.

AP Bio will help you to be able to understand your own healthcare in the future. My kids say it was an extremely useful class for them. Unless the teacher is horrible, I’d recommend AP Bio.

Are you becoming a junior next year or a senior?
If you’re becoming a junior then definitely take AP bio. If you’re becoming a senior take Honors physics.
Honors physics would be easier, but if you want a rigorous course schedule, take AP bio.
