<p>I already took regular Physics this year so it might give me an advantage but doesn't taking AP next year not count for four years of science? Also, does AP Psychology have any background on science?, I want to go to Cal Poly or mid-ranking UC's and take an engineering major.</p>
<p>If you want to be an engineer, take AP Physics.</p>
<p>Psychology is reffered to as a social science along with history courses and things of that nature. I would say Physics would give you a better shot at admission into the schools you want unless you are majoring in something related to psychology. It tends to be seen as one of the “easier APs”.</p>
<p>I would say that AP Physics looks pretty good on a resume for college, since it is seen as a ‘more challenging’ AP (not that any AP is necessarily easy), but AP Psych wouldn’t look bad either. I don’t think that any would give you a boost over the other in terms of classes or a schedule necessary for college admission, but I Physics probably looks like you’re challenging yourself a bit more? That’s just my two cents of knowledge that I’ve gained from my high school though.</p>
<p>Take both! I took AP Psych last year as a sophomore. I thought it was easy as well as extremely interesting. It doesn’t feel like an AP at all. You’d be able to take it alongside an AP science just fine. AP Physics is a lot of math though, so be prepared for that.</p>
<p>At my school, AP physics is considered the hardest AP and psych one of the easiest.</p>
<p>AP Physics, for sure.</p>
<p>If you feel like doing work and learning, AP Physics. Not that you don’t learn much in AP Psych… AP Physics is just much more rigorous. If you think you’ll like engineering and you enjoyed physics this year, you would probably enjoy AP Physics (or Advanced Placement Physical Education, as I call it)</p>
<p>Okay AP Psych if you need the credit. </p>
<p>AP Physics is often useless for the credit… BUT IT’LL HELP YOU DECIDE WHAT ENGINEERING MAJOR YOU WANT 
And it’s ridiculously fun.</p>
