<p>I'm going to be a junior next year, and I need one more science credit in order to fulfill my graduation requirements. Science has never been my favorite subject, but I still want to take an AP credit to challenge myself. I'm not that big a fan of math, so as far as I know that rules out chem and physics. Out of AP bio and environmental science, which would you suggest? What have been your experiences with those? Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>AP bio didnt have much math besides what is used in punnet squares, I have no taken AP environmental. The math in AP chem is not anything you couldn’t learn, it only goes to ~Algebra 2 levels, if that.</p>
<p>AP Environmental has minimal math, but still “math” (I say this because I know kids who did really struggle with the basic calculations on Enviro FRQs.) - but it isn’t anything that can’t be done by hand (simple proportions, multiplication, division, etc.). </p>
<p>My experience with Environmental is that it is a science class that is grounded almost entirely in the real, modern world – the content stems from recent history or current events, which is pretty unique dynamic for a course. The material itself isn’t challenging either and because you can so easily connect what you’re learning to the world outside, I found it particularly engaging. </p>
<p>Keep in mind - you say that you want to fulfill your graduation requirement of three years of science - but many colleges would like to see 4, regardless of major. And if you are planning to major in something pertaining to science, one of your science credits should ideally be physics - but if you’re planning on majoring in anything else, Enviro should be fine. But certainly look into another year of science! </p>
<p>Good luck!

<p>AP Chemistry: The math was simple, at hardest it was pre-trig material.
AP Physics B (Now physics 1: Algebra Based and Physics 2: Algebra Based): Math was still very simple as the class is generally concept based. Uses trigonometry in very simplistic applications (i.e. if you can visualize it, you should understand it). Should be even easier now that they are breaking the class down. Note: They are adding rotational motion which can be quite tricky to understand, however the math of rotational motion is quite easy (simple algebra).
AP Physics C: Out of the question if you don’t like math, plenty of calculus.
AP Biology: You need to do one equation. Total.</p>
<p>So for the easiest class math-wise, go with AP Biology, second would probably have to be Chemistry, with Physics B/1 close behind. Good luck choosing! I highly recommend Physics, but that’s just because I love physics myself :)</p>
