<p>I'm interested in ChemE and material sciences. I took AP Physics C this year, and I have a bad feeling that I didn't get the 4/5 needed to get credit. I did not have the chance to take AP Chemistry. Which science would be better to tackle this upcoming school year with the AP Physics C credit and without? Is it better to take the credit or retake the class for a GPA boost?</p>
<p>When deciding between Physics and Chem for this semester, I would just say do whichever you like or fits better into your schedule. My personal philosophy with getting AP credit is to always take it - for me, it means you’ll have an open slot later to take something more interesting. Or you could just have a lighter semester than you normally would’ve had!</p>
<p>If you’re worried that you didn’t learn the Physics C material well enough, you can always check out the prerequisites for the classes you’ll be taking in the future and see how much Physics knowledge will be required!</p>
<p>If you want to do chem E you have to take chemistry in your freshman year. Since you don’t have AP chem credit you’ll have to take chemistry both semesters. If you get the physics credit I would take it, if you don’t then I would double up chem / physics in your second semester.</p>
