<p>if you took ap chemistry ap biology and ap physics (b or c) IN THE SAME YEAR</p>
<p>how was your experience</p>
<p>Why do you WANT to do that?</p>
<p>That’d be suicide…my friend (valedictorian) is taking Bio and Physics at the same time and that’s verging on overwhelming. We both took AP Chem last year and I am positive she’d be in trouble taking all three. And she’s the smartest person I know.</p>
<p>…don’t do that to yourself…I mean. 2 AP science is fine…but 3??? nono…don’t.
AP bio and AP chem = decently difficult
AP Chem and AP physics = pretty difficult (my friend is doing this. she totally regrets it)
AP physics and AP bio = decently manageable </p>
<p>I took regular chemistry, AP Biology, and AP Chemistry and tested out of regular physics, if that counts. It wasn’t too bad because my school had block scheduling and they weren’t all at the same time. AP Physics, I don’t know.</p>
<p>I had Honors Physics (AP Physics 1) and AP Chem this year and it’s not that bad.
AP Physics+AP Chem= Has 8 on difficulty scale
AP Physics+AP Bio= Has 7
AP Chem+AP Bio=has 6
All three= 10</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>I wasn’t gonna take all 3
Just 2</p>
<p>Ap physics and ap chemistry</p>
<p>I have already taken honors chem and honors physics</p>
<p>But thanks for the info </p>
<p>But I’m sure that there is at least 1 genius on this site who has that horrid experience of taking all 3 ap science classes in one year </p>
<p>At my school, trying to take all 3 the same year would result in a schedule conflict. I know plenty of people who have done every permutation of 2 in the same year. I can’t imagine anyone taking all 3; even the really science-oriented people won’t have the same interest level in all 3.</p>
<p>If someone is taking 3, I’d assume they are responsible enough to ditch classroom instruction for self-study.</p>
<p>Lol, if you can take 3 then AP level classes are to easy for you. It took me about 2 months to self study calc AB only doing 1.5 hours a night (8th grade). So I guess it’s possible.</p>
<p>None of the sciences were really difficult. except for biology, but I still got 2 A’s and a 5 running off of Bsed/google spammed hw and getting away with the review book to learn everything.</p>
<p>Okay, I took Chemistry my sophomore year.
However, I did in fact take three sciences my junior year:
Environmental Science, Physics, and Biology. (I skipped the freshman general science course and originally had just Physics, Biology, and the freshman course on my schedule–they actually wanted to give me that as a graduation requirement! Dropping it in lieu of a challenge exam, APES was the only AP that would fit)</p>
<p>Physics B you can treat as a math class (plus some concepts)–you do problems as hw and you have tests consisting of problems! Any non-science AP would be much more of a strain on me.</p>
<p>Biology–ton of work, hard tests, out of my Jr. year APs, APUSH and AP English Lang were the only two that were harder–yah, I don’t like essays.</p>
<p>Environmental Science–easy class, but the teacher gave way too much work for its difficulty/content.</p>
<p>Chemistry–more or less like physics, just more boring and more of the let’s just punch some numbers into the calculator type work. The AP Chem exam doesn’t count for the college course… that I’ve learned almost nothing new as of the first 5 weeks.</p>
<p>My daughter is in AP bio and physics B and a dual enrollment science class (not AP chem, she took that last year). I don’t think there’s any big issue about taking 3 advanced science classes. Lately she seems to be spending more time on her AP gov homework anyhow. AP chem was the hardest of the bunch for her though, so would have been a little harder with that in the same year. It has been a difficult year for her, but that is because of also having to do college applications and other commitments she made on top of those particular classes.</p>
<p>My friend is currently doing that in his junior year and he’s failing miserably. But then again, he doesn’t exactly have the most amazing work ethic lol. I guess it would be manageable if you were really dedicated.</p>
<p>I came close to doing that. I just studied AP biology on my own for fun but I didn’t take the test. I needed another science class and I wanted to do the labs. There’s really no reason for anyone to take 3 AP science classes at once unless they didn’t take any AP science classes before and are graduating that year.</p>
<p>No one who lived to tell the tale.</p>
