<p>I am interested in biology. Should I take AP Biology in the junior year (in which case colleges can see my test score) or the senior year (in which case colleges can only see my first semester grades)? If it doesn't matter, I would prefer to take it in the senior year for a variety of reasons. I would like to do a major that is related to biology or bioengineering, so would it be to my advantage if colleges saw my ap bio test score, or is it fine to take it in the senior year? I am currently planning to take ap chem in the junior year, so should i switch ap chem and ap bio (i.e. put ap bio in the junior year) if im interested in bio?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Please respond rather quickly because if I do have to change my junior year classes I will need to know fast.</p>

<p>^it doesn’t matter. Do whatever seems the best to you.</p>
<p>Colleges are most interested in the rigor of your curriculum. As long as you have taken, or will be taking, the most demanding science classes, it is not terribly important for them to see your AP test scores. The scores are most important in determining whether you can obtain credit for the courses when you get to college. As long as you are taking (and, presumably, performing well) AP Biology, you will have the course-work necessary for admission to the sort of program you are interested in. You will almost certainly need the background in Chemistry for any of the disciplines you are considering, furthermore.</p>
