Chemistry Higher than AP Chem?

<p>Hi Guys,</p>

<p>So basically i have moved from a system of British Education to an American school. Now i am very interested i chemistry, as it is my best subject. The school which i had gone to before had already finished the Chem 1 and Chem 2 courses by 9th grade. ( I am a sophmore now) I am currently taking AP Chemistry, and i am doing very well in the class (if i'm not mistaken im the only sophmore having taken AP Chem in the history of the school). I was wondering however, if there is any higher level of chemistry that i can take after i have finished AP Chem. I mean like, is there any online course or something like that which i can take next year.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Does your school offer organic chemistry? That’s a good class to take if you’re interested in medicine.</p>

<p>No, not really. You could try to see if you could take classes at a college nearby.</p>

<p>Well done on taking AP chem at sophomore level.</p>

<p>If you’re purely interested in learning it, I think you could read A-level material.</p>

<p>At my school there’s nothing higher than AP Chemistry. But most people say that physics is sort of like chemistry. I would suggest that you take physics. I personally did very bad in physics, and our last unit in physics was chemistry, and I did very good in that.</p>

<p>Physics and chemistry are very different from each other. You could take AP physics C concurrently with AP Calculus BC and physical chemistry or organic chemistry.</p>

<p>Talk to your counselor about concurrent enrollment in some organic chemistry class.</p>

<p>My Physics teacher said that Physics covers how atoms move and react in other words their reaction when a force acts upon them. Chemistry uses the laws of Physics to understand the activity of different molecules. Yeah I agree, take AP Physics C, and a AP Calculus class, because in college they have Chemistry classes that have a Calculus background.</p>

<p>You going to have to go to college to get more chemistry. My dd is a chemistry major. She needs two semesters of physics and calculus to get a degree. I would take AP physics and AP calculus for sure. You could work on other AP courses too like history and languages because your going to need them too. Much better to have the hand holding of high school for those core requirements of college. You will have more options at college for your major, if you knock out prerequisites. Colleges that you attend really like to teach you they way they want the subject taught so try not to get to far ahead.</p>

<p>Uhh more advanced chem will contain math beyond algebra that you will actually have to understand, that you will have to have patience with unless you are really, really smart.</p>

<p>it would be totally useless to try to go farther than Ap chem in chemistry without at least having learned calculus AB+BC stuff very well. </p>

<p>organic chemistry is maybe the exception, so you could take that at a local college perhaps, if you really have a burning interest to further excel at the thing which is your best subject.</p>
