AP World History or AP Bio for sophomore year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>for my sophomore year of hs, i can only take 2 AP classes. If I take AP Bio, I would have to take chemistry at the same time and take Gym/Health online over the summer. If I don't take AP World, then I'd have to take World History 2 Honors and I think that's a waste of time because I'd be learning (sort of) the same thing as the AP class but without the college credit. I do well in Bio (97) and World History 1 (98). What was your experience with these classes and what do you think I should do? My dream college is Brown Univ. btw</p>

<p>I do not know too much about AP since my school offers Ap, but I do know this: courses differ from school to school. My recommendation is that you do the subject that you would like better because you will probably be more involved and do better. If you like the challenge, go with that. Personally, I like biology better. You said that you would have to take two history classes at the same time? That could be repatitive, so if it was MY choice, I would go with biology. (:</p>

<p>Choose the course that you enjoy the most. At my school, Sophomores can only take 1 AP class: AP World History. I could have taken it, but I didn’t because I hate history and not take it seriously.</p>

<p>Take AP World History. I took AP World my junior year and I absolutely loved it. I ended up with a 3 on the exam (which isn’t GREAT, but it’s passing) and now I am down three credits that I would have had to take in college. It’s a ton of interesting information, and I honestly can say that it was one of the best experiences of my life. I’m in AP Biology right now, and, although I enjoy sciences, my teacher isn’t taking it seriously so we don’t really do much. I would imagine it would be much less “fun” if she WERE taking it seriously.</p>

<p>You should take AP World history since its easier than Bio, but then take Bio your junior year when you get smarter</p>

<p>My AP World History class is far more difficult than my AP Bio class. It really depends on the teacher and the school. I’m a sophomore, by the way.</p>
