<p>Okay, so i have a choice of either AP Chem or AP Bio for next year (junior year).. I want to become a pharmacist and i know the obvious choice would be chem. But from the information that i got, we're getting new ap chem teacher (this year's sucked, apparently). And from what i heard about next year's chem teacher, she's not a very good teacher. Therefore, i feel really uncomfortable learning from a new teacher that may not be helpful. On the other hand, AP Bio has a wonderful teacher (i had her freshman year) and i loved her!! She's was great and her classes scored an average of 5 points higher on the midterms and finals. She's someone that I'm familiar with and do well with (concerning grades). </p>
<p>Therefore, i'm really in a dilemma about which one to take. I know its sad that im basing it on teachers, but i asked my friend and she said it is a personal choice, so basing it on teachers is okay. Which one should i take (with my situation)? Please respond ASAP please!</p>
<p>Okay, so take whichever you like more. I LOVE bio, so it would be obvious for me. Don’t worry about the teacher. It’s a high school chemistry class. It’s not that bad.</p>
<p>I’d go with AP Bio because AP Chem you need a good teacher for, or a lot of motivation. It’s one of the hardest APs at my school. However, one may argue that AP Bio doesn’t require a class beyond regular Bio if you’re motivated (then again, it’s been a while for you so self-study may not be the best option). Then again, you’re probably more likely to do well grade-wise and everything for Bio because it’s a really good teacher. You’d feel better prepared before the AP test and wouldn’t panic and would have more time to study for other APs.</p>
<p>Overall, I believe that AP Bio would be a better choice (then again I might be biased because my Honors teacher was the AP teacher and was amazing so I took the AP test this year with some extra self-study and loved it).</p>
<p>This wasn’t so ASAPish, but I sincerely hope you find something useful in my rambling. Good luck next year!</p>
<p>So is the obvious choice ap bio?? I already told my counselor and he changed my schedule but he said a lot of people switched from ap chem to ap bio so i might not get a seat in the class.
The ap bio teacher is the same teacher for honors so this would be my second year (hopefully) having her </p>
<p>And @emory12, i plan on taking ap physics (b or c… not sure) senior year and if i have the schedule for it, i guess i’ll double on sciences senior (chem and physics…)</p>
