HELP ME! :( (AP Physics B vs. AP Biology)

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi, I'm a rising junior and taking summer school physics just to get it out of the way. The thing is, I am currently signed up for AP Biology, but as I take physics, I thought it would be nice to take AP Physics B and get over with. (Since I took biology my freshman year, I already expect to go over old biology materials and remind myself). </p>

<p>The thing is, I just need an easier A. I know AP classes can't be "easy", but just an easi"er" class. For more information, my school has a double-block AP Biology schedule, which means I will have that class everyday unlike the other classes that I take every OTHER day. Besides AP science, I will be taking APUSH, AP Eng.11, and AP Calc AB. </p>

<p>What do you guys think? Please help me! I am quite struggling here.... based on experience/what you guys heard, can you help me decide please? </p>

<p>Oh yes, and if any of you took SAT 2 for either subject, which one was easier? I need reference for that too D: </p>

<p>Thank you for your time!! :) </p>

<p>AP Biology is an easier A. In terms of subject tests, it is ok depending on how much you study.</p>

<p>What science will you take senior year?</p>

3

<p>well I'm planning to take both AP biology and physics; it's just which one i'll take first.</p>

4

<p>When does your school determine rank? My school stopped halfway through senior year and gave the official ranks.</p>

<p>That's why I took a harder all AP schedule during senior year.</p>

5

<p>nah my county doesn't use class rank system.</p>

<p>I thought that since junior year is the last "full" year the colleges look at, it would be better to have an easier AP science class and maintain good grades.</p>

<p>im actually taking both this coming senior year. personally, bio is easier because its more of a conceptual science while physics does deal with some calculus. it depends which ur better with.</p>

7

<p>well I just checked with people at my school and they said our physics B teacher is horrible.... (as in he doesn't know how/what to teach).</p>

<p>I'm kind of inclined to AP Biology, as I signed up. It sounds like a more straight-forward subject plus if I take it my senior year, I'll be more ready math-wise. Hope it's a good idea :(</p>

<p>Thank you SOOOOO much for your help! I'll just think a little more since I have time until next wednesday.</p>
