<p>i'm a junior right now, and i want to get into a pre-med program next year. i'm just not sure which science[s] to take my senior year. i really want to take physics cause i haven't taken that yet, but i also really want to take chem. so my choices are:</p>
<p>[1] regents physics and ap chem<br>
[2] ap chem
[3] ap physics</p>
<p>would it be more beneficial for me to take ap chem (with/without physics) than just taking physics since i plan on going to college for pre-med?</p>
<p>whats "regents" cause if thats good id go with option 1...</p>
<p>oh sorry, i'm from new yorkk.. and we have these state exams aka regents exams.. its pretty much like a regular physics class.. or it can be honorss.. i would take honors</p>
<p>if the rest of you schedule isn't too bad, take both APs. That's what I did, and it was fine. Be warned, SOCIAL LIFE and ECs on the margin with this option COMBINED with lots of other APs.</p>
<p>I took AP Bio sophomore year
AP Physics B junior year
AP Chem and AP Physics C senior year</p>
<p>im in NY too</p>
<p>not bad at all</p>
<p>it really depends on ur school and the difficulty level...generally science APs are the hardest, but i know people who say courses like AP US are hard and that physics and chem are a joke, so ask around ur school.</p>
<p>Classes like AP US usually requires more time to digest the material since it's a lot of reading, while classes like AP Chem and Physics requires more of math and spacial reasoning. It really depends of what type of person you are. I'm tutoring a girl for her "CP" Physics because she got a "D" last semester. It's not that she's not trying but she simply couldn't understand the concepts.</p>
<p>If you haven't had physics before, go with physics. It will help in the long run.</p>
<p>take both APs, that's what I did. However, I'm one of those people who struggled in AP US last year.</p>
