<p>I am a junior in highschool and we recently got registration cards for senior classes.
I have the option of taking 2 of the following 3 Ap science courses, AP Bio, AP Physics B and AP Chem. I am also planning on taking premed in college and taking the MCAT. My question is which two courses would best prepare me for premed and the MCAT?</p>
<p>I do not believe that AP Physics B involves Calculus, so I would wait until college to take it if that is the only course being offered.</p>
<p>Most likely AP Bio and AP Chem.</p>
<p>Yeah but I dont think you need calculus based physics in pre med or the mcat</p>
<p>Many college students find physics difficult. Strong high school preparation can help immensely in taking more advanced calculus based physics courses.</p>
<p>You’ll need physics for just about any science course you’ll ever take, so I would put that first on the list.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend taking two science courses in senior year. Take as an advanced math course as your school offers, and stay well rounded with courses in English etc.</p>
<p>Have you already had the regular high school level versions of all three? If one or more is missing, then you want to at least cover those.</p>
<p>College physics for pre-meds and biology majors may or may not use calculus, depending on the college. The version for physics and engineering majors uses calculus, of course (some, but not all, colleges, accept AP physics C for some of those courses).</p>
<p>Note that many medical schools do not accept AP scores in substitution for pre-med courses, so you will likely either have to retake the introductory courses in college or substitute more advanced courses in the same subjects if you skip the introductory courses. Note also that college physics for pre-meds and biology majors or AP physics B is typically not accepted as a prerequisite for more advanced physics courses, so you should count on having to retake that course in college even if you have AP physics B.</p>
