Do Ap Biology & Physiology go hand in hand?

Applying to College
1

<p>Next year (11th) my schedule is packed. Here's what it looks like:
AP ENGLISH
AP BIOLOGY
AP US HISTORY
HONORS PRE-CAL
COMPUTER TECH 2
SPANISH 2
LASTLY,
Educational Psychology OR HONORS/AP Physiology...</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I want to add an additional science you know? My load next year is unbelievable but I really need to get into a UC or Privtate University. I know how to manage my time and will be successful in those classes. Yes I know other factors contribute to your college acceptance too.</p>

<p>Ok here's my question, if I take AP Bio & PHysiology, will I get the material mixed up? Or Are these classes similar? Would they be too challenging to take at the same time. If I include this class instead of my other option and get straight A's I will have a 4.72 GPA but if I take education psychology i will have a 4.52. One thing I should mention is that when I took normal bio I passed with flying colors because the material was easy to understand. Does anyone know what educational psychology is? Which one would you recommend to me?</p>

<p>Sorry it's so long! Just trying to make the right decisions, my future is depending on it! (I will talk to my counseler too.)</p>

<p>The two classes really aren’t similar, except that approx 10% of ap psych is biology (mostly focusing on neurons but also basics about how eyes work, hormones, etc.)</p>

<p>95% of the time what you learn in either of these classes won’t correlate. They’re both memorization-heavy classes. However, taking them both at the same time shouldn’t be a problem and they won’t confuse you. AP bio is typically harder than AP psych, which at most schools is pretty easy, if that influences your decision at all.</p>

<p>There is no AP Physiology. So it depends on what your school is teaching you.</p>

<p>Awks read that as psychology b/c there’s no AP physiology course.</p>

<p>If you meant ap psychology, I recommend taking it since it is not a difficult AP. There is some AP Biology in AP Psych but now that the AP Biology curriculum is not as detailed, you won’t learn things in AP Bio that is in AP Psych. However, I took Anatomy and Physiology and I knew more than the teacher when it came to physiology in psychology.</p>
