I’m new to applying to colleges and stuff and I’m a senior. Our classes at my school are all honors. For Junior year I signed up for AP Bio but not AP Chem! Is it possible that I self-study? since I basically can’t take the AP class for chemistry anymore. I feel really regretful. : ( plus I am wanting to go into pre-med so i know AP Chem will be really important.
SORRY LET ME EDIT : AND ADD A TL DR : I cannot take an AP Chemistry class. Can I self-study and hope to get a good grade?
AP Chemistry and AP Biology at the same time will require a lot of work and memorization since there is so much to cover. I think it’s doable if you go at your own pace, but only if you are able to maintain a good pacing throughout the year. Self-studying is hard unless you lay out what topics you will cover. You need plenty of time to go over content and practice before the exam.
AP Chem is a lot harder than AP Bio. Even with a class, AP Chem is challenging. AP Bio is definitely doable, it’s just a lot of memorization. AP Chem is very conceptual and you have to spend time really understanding the material. It all depends on what kind of learner you are. Maybe see how much time you can devote to AP Chem and seeing whether that will get you a good AP exam score. You could definitely do AP Bio though.
