<p>Hi,
i'm new here so forgive me if i screw up. I'm going into my junior year and i'm signed up to take AP chem but i read on collegeboard that the following year the curriculum is changing and getting easier. Now my dilemma is whether i should take it in my junior year when my classes are relatively easier but harder AP Chem or if i should take it in my senior year with a courseload of more AP classes but an easier AP Chem class????</p>
<p>I took AP Chem in junior and didn’t find it to be so extremely difficult. Just by studying 1hr or less each day brought me to do fine on the practice exams (all 5s). My teacher said it is definitely better to take it in junior year as there are less stressful events (apps and so forth) compared to senior year. I’d say take it in junior year</p>
<p>Thanks for the input; it really helped.</p>
