<p>I had another post almost exactly like this one only with math instead :) So basically, our high school offers Honors Bio/Chem, AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Environmental Science, and AP Physics. I want to double up on my science courses, but i don't know which ones to do. Honors Bio/Chem is high on my list, and so is AP Environmental Science--but I don't know if anyone is actually going to take latter. I've heard AP Physics is super hard, so I'm probably not going to take that until senior year. AP Bio or AP Chem with Honors Bio/Chem sounds really redundant. But AP Bio with AP Chem is going to be really difficult. So my possible choices are:
1. Honors Bio/Chem with AP Environmental Sci
2. Honors Bio Chem with AP Bio or AP Chem
3. AP Bio with AP Chem
4. AP Physics</p>
<p>I don’t know. At least at my school physics is easy. Chem and Bio on the other hand…
I’m a Junior and thus far I’ve taken:
Freshmen: Integrated Science (required course), Honors Chemistry
Sophomore: Honors Biology and AP Chemistry
Junior: AP Bio and AP Physics
Senior: IDK, AP Enviro</p>
<p>Probably take the bio/chem freshman year (w/o anything else). Take APES in 10th; AP Bio and AP Chemistry in 11th (you get more out of them if you take them later due to brain maturity and so forth); and AP Physics in 12th.</p>
<p>If AP Physics is hard, don’t take it senior year. You don’t want to add to the already extremely stressful period of college applications. And then what happens once you get into college? Will you keep trying in the course?</p>
<p>My friend’s sequence was:
9: Honors Bio
10: Honors Chemistry, Honors Physics
11: AP Chemistry
12: AP Physics</p>
<p>What grade are you in? Are you required to take the honors course before the AP? (Most schools require that… at least mine does.)</p>
<p>It helped me to take Chem and Physics the same year. (I did Bio 9th, Chem and Physics 10th… Haven’t taken a science since then.)</p>
<p>And I’d say leave APES for 12th so that it’s an easier course for your senior year.</p>
<p>But that’s just me.</p>
