AP Physics vs AP Chem

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am in the process of creating my schedule for next fall (junior year) and I want to take an extra AP science class (in addition to AP Bio). I want to take either AP Chemistry or AP Physics along with AP Calculus BC. I've already taken honors physics as freshman and I'm currently taking honors chemistry and precalculus. </p>

<p>1) I would prefer to take AP physics C, but I am concerned whether taking AP Physics C concurrently with Calculus BC would be a good idea. Should I take Physics C after completing Calculus or is it OK to take them together?</p>

<p>2) Which AP class (Chem or Physics C) would better prepare me to do well on the corresponding SAT Subject test?</p>

<p>I am planning to study computer engineering in college.</p>

<p>If you were in my school I would highly suggest AP Chem since it’s easier than AP Physics C. Not only that but AP Calc + AP Physics in my school = bloody murder, I don’t want to think what BC Calc can do. </p>

<p>Honestly, I’d ask your peers about whether the teachers for both classes are good. It’s going to depend on the teacher and the rigor that he/she will impose on the students. If I were you though, I’d go AP Chem :P</p>

<p>I’m doing physics and chem (AP). I think it is relatively easy. Also, if you are doing computer engineering do Physics. With ap physics you are pretty much guranteed an 800 on SAT physics.</p>
