I’m going into Sophmore year next year, and I’ve decided to take AP Bio and AP World.
I however have no chemistry background other than IPS. When it comes to Bio Honors I’ve always done very well, always A’s, I even had an 115% at one point. I’ve gotten all A’s and B’s in my AP Human Geography class, so I assume AP World won’t be too bad.
What do you think? I’m not 100% sure if I should, especially with almost all honors in my other classes.
I think you should be fine, as long as you know you can handle it. From what I know, Bio and World are mostly just memorization so it shouldn’t be too hard. Good luck!
With good time-management skills, you will be able to handle it. At my old school, AP World is a sophomore level class. It was a ton of work, mainly because our teacher was slightly sadistic, but it wasn’t too bad. As long as you get the big picture concept you should do fine. I haven’t taken AP Bio but from what I hear if you a good in Bio and can do some memorization you’ll do well in the class. Best of luck!
At my daughters’ school the way they had it set up was to do honors bio in 9th grade, ap bio in 10th grade and honors chem in 10 grade (at the same time). They did not find AP world to be too tough.
