<p>I need to decide between ap physics and ap chem, I know I've posted several times, but it's almost time to turn in our registration sheets, and I'm really afraid of making a bad choice (in the past we've been able to do schedule changes, but next year there not allowed due to how scrunched we're going to be).</p>
<p>So schedule A and B are very much alike, so here goes
A:
AP calc ab 1/2
AP us government
AP English literature
AP Spanish V
AP Chemistry (double-blocked)
physics</p>
<p>periods: 1-8 (w/ lunch and full day schedule)</p>
<p>B:
AP calc ab 1/2
AP us government
AP English literature
AP Spanish V
AP Physics (double-blocked)</p>
<p>periods: 1-7 (w/ lunch, leave a period early)</p>
<p>I've taken reg. chem (pre-req for ap chem) Any advice?</p>
<p>I'm taking AP Chem. It's really not that hard, it's a lot of work, but it's definitely one of the easier classes I'm taking. Go for it.</p>
<p>oh thanks for the comment, and to anyone else, taking both ap physics and ap chem is technically possible, but I don't want to die before I even get to send in my applications</p>
<p>AP Physics is easy if you're good with math.</p>
<p>Are you good with math especially calculus(integration mostly)? then take AP physics
For AP chem, i'm taking it right now and it's kind of easy. I didn't take regular chemistry but i'm still doing well. However, i have to admit the class is kind of polarized into the people who do really well and the people who are chronically with bad grades in AP chem. Do you like chemistry and science in general? if yes then take it. In general people do better in Chem because they don't have to struggle in math and science at the same time. oh yeah are you taking AP physics C? because if you are, taking AB calc will be kind of pointless. You'll learn calculus in your physics class insteado your calc class.</p>
<p>Yes, it's physics C. And that's how everyone at my school does, ap physics and calc ab, since only 10-15 out of 500 people are actually in a higher math.</p>
<p>if it's that way, you won't struggle in physics c since most people are like you. in our school most people who take physics c are calc BC people. In general, the people who take Mutivariable Calculus form the top part of the class, while BC people form the middle, and AB form the lower part. but that's in our school. I guess taking physics C wouldn't hurt, but be aware that you'll be learning math and physics in the same time. if you're successful you won't have to study for calc AB, because you learned it in physics. good luck</p>
<p>well I go to a school where 1 or 2 people tops in each class takes multivariable calc, 20 tops take calc bc, about 25% takes calc ab, and the rest is split between pre-calc (the majority of all senior math takers) and algebra 2 (maybe 10%)</p>
