<p>I'm currently picking out my classes for senior year, and I am having a difficult time deciding between taking AP Bio or AP Physics B. Both are double periods, so I have to choose one.</p>
<p>I have never taken a physics class, I don't particularly want to, but will it hurt my chances of getting into college?
I've taken honors bio and chemistry and AP environmental.</p>
<p>The other classes I'm taking senior year-
AP Art History
AP Psych
AP AB Calc
Gym
Lunch
English (Honors English or A semester of world lit and a semester of critical thinking)
Contemporary Adult life (graduation requirement)</p>
<p>I think you have to have an interest in AP Physics B in order to excel in it. A lot of people in my class just do their homework and move on, but if you want to truly understand concepts and do well on the AP exam, you have to spend a lot of time figuring things out. If you’re applying to top colleges, you should probably just suck it up and go through with it, as it’s highly recommended to have all three lab sciences on your transcript. However, if you think you already have a good shot at the colleges you’re applying to, Physics might be an undesirable waste of time for you and I’d go with AP Bio.</p>
<p>Take Physics B. It’s not even that hard if you are smart enough to make decent grades in your other classes.</p>
<p>I dont know about your school, but AP Bio at my school is a lot easier than AP Physics. It’s all memorization.</p>
<p>I loved ap bio and for ap physics, I think it would help if you have a background in it.</p>
<p>Have a background in it?</p>
<p>Physics B teaches you physics.</p>
<p>^Maybe for CC, but not for the average American. At my school, for example, someone needs to have a base background in physics before they can take the AP class.</p>
