<p>I think Physics or Chem just depends on the type of brain you have. I think Physics was much harder, but most of my friends disagree. I think that I would do AP Bio/AP Chem because of the bit of organic chemistry that should make some Bio units easier. Then AP Physics your senior year.</p>
<p>Oh, and I would definitely agree with your algebra/geometry comparison!</p>
<p>Even with a bad teacher, Bio is the easiest subject to pick up because it is pure memorization.</p>
<p>I'd also take Bio/Chem in Junior year because you can probably ensure the best AP scores to put on your college application that way (since Physics is generally the harder one for most people).</p>
<p>And I would not try something different/risky in junior year. If you have never had physics before, you won't know how your mind will take to it. Most people can do well in Biology and Chemistry and that will look safest when applying to colleges.</p>
<p>You could just take Bio and Physics so that u dont mix things up, bio is purely memorizing and physiscs is purely math & concept ( well mostly anyways) . As for the two tests in one day thing you could probably try to get late testing, or just deal with it, i mean the SAT IS 4+ hrs (With breaks and time spent in testing room....)</p>
<p>I don't mind sitting long times for tests. It's not like I get stressed or fatigued. </p>
<p>This year, I actually thought the US History and US Govt tests were fun (they were the only exams I took). I love bio to death. Chem kind of annoys me in that it's so mixed conceptually and mathematically; I would sometimes get confused between concepts and the math involved.</p>
<p>I just hope that physics will be alot more math-centered than chem.</p>
<p>Agh...long tests hurt...
My suggestion is Chem and Physics B. In my opinion the Math in Chem is very minimal...If you passed Algebra 2, you should have enough. Again, math in Physics B isn't as bad as Calculus..(Cal AB or BC?)...But Physics and Chem compliment each other in some ways too. Thermodynamics overlaps the two, and there's something else but I forgot atm. Plus they're on different days.</p>
<p>Depends on your major in college. What do you want to study?</p>
<p>Aerospace Engineering or Biology. :D</p>
<p>In that case, then bio/chem, assuming you already took honors physics. Bio/phys if no physics taken yet. the reason for this is that some colleges don't care about physics B as much as Physics C or chem.</p>
<p>I haven't taken physics yet and my school doesn't have physics C....</p>
<p>The nearby community college has calculus based physics, but I thought I would start with physics B for now. Then I could start taking physics with calculus next summer. I'd rather not jump directly into calc based physics. haha</p>
<p>bio and chem....yes for your junior year...take physics senior year...b/c the college will already see physics on your transcript (currently taking column)....do very well in those AP BIO AND CHEM classes and it will be impressive. however, what is your intended major?? it doesn't matter, take ap bio and ap chem. (sorry to sound so demanding, but i really do think so.)</p>
<p>Ok, well I'm going to take AP Chem and AP Bio junior year. I'd be choosing AP Physics for all the wrong reasons, especially since I'll most likely major in Biology in college. It would be best for me to apply with an AP Chem score, rather than wait until senior year, with no score to show.</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone! As much as chemistry annoys me, I might as well get it over with for good.</p>
