Dropping AP Chemistry or Calc...?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I have a problem with my junior year schedule.
AP Calculus AB is only 2nd and 4th.
AP Chemistry is only 2nd.
Chamber orchestra is only 4th. I tried talking to my counselor, but these classes can't be moved around.</p>

<p>Right now, I'm taking orchestra and chemistry, but my math class has been replaced with AP statistics. I really want to take the AP Chemistry and AP Bio (I've already been self studying for Bio) tests this year, as well as the AP Calc test.</p>

<p>Would it be better to drop chem and take calculus, or keep statistics and self study calculus? Either way, I'm self studying something. I'd really like input on this; thanks so much. (:</p>

<p>Calculus is a more fundamental subject so I would keep that. How you do in science classes in college depends more on your math ability than your background in the intro sciences.</p>

<p>NEVER drop math</p>

<p>So are you guys suggesting I take AP Biology and AP Calculus, instead of AP Chemistry and AP Statistics?</p>

<p>(edit)
How would AP Physics and AP Calculus appear, compared to Bio and Calc? I’m fine with doing either.</p>
