<p>Hey, my school just started class registration for next year. I am a junior right now, and I was wondering if it would be wayy too harsh to take both AP Physics and AP Chem at the same time, during my senior year. This year I had to take Precalc+Stat, and European History+US History due to scheduling conflicts. Anyways, would it be manageable to take both at the same time? I have no background in physics, and took a summer chem course offered at my school over a month.</p>
<p>I am doing that, and I'll be a senior next year as well. I'm also taking ap calc ab, ap us gov, ap spanish 5, and ap english lit. What physics is yours? Mine is both the C physics (mechanics and eletricity and magnetism)</p>
<p>btw I have no physics background either (but it's not a pre-requisite at my school) and I took reg. chemistry (required to take ap chem the next year).</p>
<p>It's definitely manageable. I'm taking IB Biology, IB Chemistry, and AP Physics C this year, and I've never had physics before. Just be sure to manage your time wisely. I don't know which physics you meant (B or C),chochocho, but I wouldn't advise taking Physics C and Calculus in the same year unless you're a really good math student. Go with Physics B if you want a broad, non calc-based intro to physics.</p>
<p>thx guys, it's Physics B, and I'll also be taking Calc next year. Hehe thx for the advice!</p>
<p>by the way, how much time on average do you spend on your AP Chem and AP Physics classes per day?</p>
<p>AP Chem- Not much homework (about 30 minutes a day). Mostly lab reports with occasional book work. </p>
<p>AP Physics- About 1 hour a day (homework isn't hard, just LONG). Mostly teacher-made worksheets and old AP problems; we don't use a textbook.</p>
<p>I really should be doing my physics homework right now. :o</p>
<p>it all depends on ur teacher</p>
<p>for me:</p>
<p>AP CHEM- A LOT of HW, lab reports are ridiculously long...hard tests, class grades are a standard bell curve.</p>
<p>AP PHYSC- HW, 30 mins or more of it, but I never do it because I find the class at my school is a joke. It is barely close to AP level physics.</p>
