Junior Year: AP Psychology vs AP Environmental Science

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi,
I'm a rising junior, and this week we are deciding on our classes for next year. Here's what I know I'm taking:</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC (2 semesters)
AP Physics BC (2 semesters)
AP US History (2 semesters)
Gifted Junior LA (1 semester)</p>

<p>I have one slot left, and instead of just taking AP Lang, which would force me to take AP Lit senior year, which I don't wanna be forced into, I'm deciding between AP Psych and AP Env. Sci. I was originally just gonna go with Psych, but I've heard AP Env. Sci. is a lot easier. Like, one of the easiest APs. With 3 other challenging APs, I really want the easiest one. So, which one's easier: AP Psych or AP Environmental Science?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Many college majors are going to require a Psychology credit, so to get it out of the way for the future, it’d be a good idea to take that class. At the same time, you may be overdoing yourself… I haven’t taken AP Psychology but I’m taking Psychology courses at a local community college and I’d say they’re relatively identical–and a lot of memorization. If you’re used to rigor and stress, you could pull through.</p>

<p>know the rep of each class at your school, but i would go with ap psych as well</p>

4

<p>depends. APES is usually considered a “BS” ap, so take psych?</p>

<p>Although psych and environmental science are considered easy APs, psych is considered slightly more difficult and definitely looks better on your application.</p>

<p>Alright, thanks guys, I think I’ll go with AP Psych if I have to choose between the two.</p>
