AP Biology vs AP Psychology

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I am currently taking these AP Courses this year:
AP Macro Economics
AP Calculus BC
AP Biology
AP English Language
AP Physics</p>

<p>and i dont know if i should take AP Psychology instead of AP Biology, or if a switch would make a difference in how college admission officers view my stats</p>

<p>I got a B+ both semesters freshman year when taking Pre-AP Biology
and got B+ both semesters last year when taking AP Chemistry</p>

<p>I am afraid of taking AP Biology this year because i fear the same results as freshman year. However, I do plan on majoring in Engineering and am skilled in Physics. I dont know if my weakness in Biology and Chemistry will affect my chances of getting into some colleges. But, i am also wary because of my course load this year.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?
I will greatly appreciate some advice.</p>

<p>Ap Biology shouldnt be too bad, because its all memorization just like AP Psych (or so I’ve heard). You should definetely take AP Bio before you graduate as it is one of the core parts of science. You will need to study around the same amount for both Bio and Psych, so I’d just go ahead and take Bio even tho it might lower you GPA a tiny bit, at least admissions officers wont think that youre trying to skip out on Biology.</p>

<p>Psychology is a lot less memorization and since you already took/are taking Physics and Chemistry, I don’t think you need to take Biology.</p>

<p>AP psychology is probably the easiest AP there is, there isn’t even a need to study, most is just common knowledge</p>
