Scheduling Help

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a sophomore in NJ, and it's the time of year where we choose classes for junior year. So far, my schedule for next year reads as follows:
AP English
AP Calculus
AP US History
AP SPanish
AP Biology</p>

<p>I'm taking Honors Chemistry this year and I really enjoy it, but the problem is AP CHemistry is the hardest class at our school. I looked at the grade sheet and only two people have A's right now. I'm leaning towards taking Honors Physics because I'm interested in the subject material and I hear it's a blowoff class, which I desperately need because of all the AP courses. My question is, am I making the right decision by taking physics even though I enjoy chemistry? Does AP chemistry generally cover the same things as an honors chemistry class? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I'd say go with the easier class. Your gpa will thank you later</p>

<p>Being a junior, with all the pressures of standardized tests and college in general, and balancing 5+ APs will be difficult. I know that you are probably capable of the work, but it will still be a very stressful year. Your schedule is packed enough already. There's nothing wrong with taking one "blowoff" class. You said that you're interested in physics--so go for Honors Physics. You'll be exposed to a different science field. You're already going to be taking AP Bio anyway, so you can save AP Chem for senior year.</p>
