<p>I am taking Ap Bio as a senior next year, even though I don't really want to be. My high school has a 4 year science requirement so I had to take something. My options were honors physics (notoriously bad teacher), Ap Chem (Heard its difficult), bs electives, or Ap Bio. I had the teacher for Honors bio sophomore year and I got a A with not all that much of a problem. I easily got an A in honors Chem this year, but I just dont think Ap Bio will be all that interesting. The teacher is great, and I am good at science, but I am also taking AP Micro and Macro and AP Calc AB which are all more important to me than Bio. I could probably pull A's and 5's in all of them, but I just can't decide if it is worth it to really try in Bio. I'm definitely not majoring in science, so I dont know if that makes doing better on the test more or less worth it? Essentially my question is how hard is Ap Bio and is it worth studying hard for?</p>
<p>If you easily got an A in honors chem, it’s quite possible you’re better at the topic than whoever you’ve been hearing about the difficulty of AP chem from. In that case, AP chem won’t be hard for you and there’s no real reason not to take it.</p>
<p>At my school at least, AP chem and bio seem to be about the same levels of diffuculty.</p>
<p>In my opinion, either AP chem or AP bio is going to be harder than AB calc or econ, though.</p>
