It's the beginning of the year, and I have to choose my junior classes now. Lovely.
My schedule will go something like this (I'm on a six-period basis, and my school has a 0 period) :</p></li>
<li><p>Weight training (to fulfill HS req)</p></li>
<li><p>Chamber Orchestra (my elective, I love it)</p></li>
<li><p>French 5/6 (language, and i love this class)</p></li>
<li><p>APUSH</p></li>
<li><p>AP Calc</p></li>
<li><p>AP Lit</p></li>
<li><p>AP Bio/ AP Physics.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I wasn't too great with Biology (but still got an A in the class). I just hated all of those ridiculous exceptions. Please don't ask about about my senior schedule. I've got that down, and it's pretty inflexible. I'm not too sure what AP Physics involves, though. I'm great with math, and did well in AP Chemistry. It may have been that I hated my Biology teacher and LOVED my Chem teacher, but Chemistry was just the best thing to happen to me last year. </p>
<p>Also, do colleges view taking the class differently from taking the exam? (Need I mention that I want to be in medicine?)</p>
<p>If you've had any experience with one, or both, feel free to share your experience. I'll have to drop either Bio or Physics. I really don't want to drop my electives. Thanks. (:</p>
<p>I’m in AP Physics B now. I passed the AP Cal AB exam last year, but the class is still really hard and it’s not helpful for college credit. If it’s AP Physics C and you’re looking into engineering or something, then go for it.</p>
<p>I took AP Bio last year. It’s SO easy. Like, seriously, the best and easiest class I’ve taken in high school. I only got a 4 on the exam, but I didn’t so much study for it and I had some issues with some of the material. Find out if the teacher’s solid. If so, I definitely encourage you to take that.</p>
<p>My junior schedule was:
Creative Writing
AP Lang
AP Bio
AP French
AP European History
AP Cal AB
and Biology fit in really well with everything else I was doing. The alternative at my school was AP Chem. If you’re looking at schools that offer credit for the Environmental Science exam you can pass it easily if you’ve taken AP Bio.</p>
<p>Physics really is hard though for most people… I know someone who went to Yale and had like a 4.62 (sal of her class a couple years ago) and she got a 2 on the Physics B exam.</p>
<p>AP Bio is easy (I got a 5) but I heard that AP Physics is very hard. (which is subjective so don’t yell at me)
My teacher says it’ll make your head bleed. From my friends I’ve heard that it’s difficult and time consuming.</p>
<p>So, evaluate yourself and your teacher. Are you superb at math? Can you understand things well? (you said you did well in Chem) Do you have time? Is your teacher a good teacher?</p>
