AP Help!!

<p>So at this new school I'm going to for my senior year, they offer AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, and AP Chemistry. I'm interested into majoring in aeronautical/aerospace engineering and was wondering if all 3 of the classes will help or if i'll only need to take 1 or 2 of them. I also decided not to take any more AP english/social-science classes seeing that im into engineering.</p>

<p>If I were I would take all 3 AP Classes. Does your school offer AP Physics? I think Physics is more useful than Chem if you are doing aerospace engineering (if not take AP Chem). I would suggest taking AP English if possible because it sharpens your writing skills and you might get college credit (it depends because my AP lit class is really time consuming and i rather take STEM Classes).</p>

<p>I would take the AP Physics class BUT I haven’t taken a regular Physics class yet. and AP chem may be out of the question because I need to take a tech class to graduate. So far that’s AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, Gov/Econ, AP English, Physics, and a tech class. But say I dont want to take 2 math classes at the same time, which would be better for me to take: Calculus BC or Statistics?</p>

<p>You don’t need regular physics to take ap physics b. so I would suggest to take calculus bc and drop stats. But it all depends on what you want, do you want any easy senior year or a somewhat challenging one. So you can just take ap physics and ap calculus. It’s pretty manageable because I’m assuming you already know calculus from calc AB.</p>

<p>But don’t take my word for it, ask people who have taken the classes, so you get a feel for it, and especially the teachers, because they can really make a difference.</p>

<p>Are you sure regular physics isn’t needed for AP Physics B? I really don’t know anything about physics nor have I taken any class related to physics (besides all the years of mathematics).</p>

<p>AP Calculus (BC’s better, but AB is also nice) is the best darn class you can get for Engineering in the AP set. The others aren’t so much of a must-have, well they’re nice, but engineering credit wise, not so much. AP Calculus will speed your way to the upper math classes and Calculus based physics classes (why B and sometimes C doesn’t get anywhere) that require a prerequisite of concurrently being enrolled in Calc II or higher, etc. AP Chemistry is second, but chances are, you’ll have to take that again in college, and Statistics is nice to know as a “scientist of innovation” or whatever you call an engineer, but it isn’t always needed as credit in the entire major… </p>

<p>Heheheh I care most about Calc BC and my gen ed killing AP classes outside of the major. Calculus BC means that you’ll be the freshman in the normally sophomore year classes and get through your lower division a whole semester or two faster because you don’t have to spend your time working on GEs while you develop your math classes that are prerequisited for the engineering classes. :smiley: Freshman in the second semester sophomore year class ftw (Because they need to go through Calc I->Calc II and then Diff Eq, and then Physics Mechanics before they can take it)</p>
