<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I have the ability to take one of two options next year:
AP Biology and grade level government
OR
AP government and grade level physics</p>
<p>I am planning to major in business, so I don't think either of these classes will be too relevant, so I am basing this question off of the rigor of the courses. Please keep in mind that I am also taking three other AP classes, so taking both is out of the question.
So...
Which option should I take? Is one much harder than the other? Please leave your opinions. Thank you.</p>
<p>While AP Bio is arguably more difficult than AP Govt, the choice should be based upon personal interests and potential major. Is it both govt classes or just one?</p>
<p>Yes it is both US and comparative combined. I would say that i’m decently interested in both, but neither one more than the other. I also have the feeling that even though AP Gov may be easier than AP Bio, physics is definitely more difficult than academic government, which makes my decision even harder. Thank you for your feedback.</p>
<p>I’ll also say colleges like applicants who have take bio, chem, and physics, although it is not a dealbreaker if you have an otherwise rigorous science preparation.</p>
<p>AP Gov gives the double dose of AP credit for the amount of work put in >:)
Just another pro for it. But Bio is often good for credit too…</p>
<p>Thanks you for your replies. Does anyone know which one, gov or bio, typically assigns more reading?</p>
<p>Have you taken physics yet? If not, the option is clear… AP gov and physics</p>
<p>But do colleges really care about physics if I’m not majoring in science?</p>
<p>Yes it is a must to take at least one year of physics, chem, and bio if you want to get into a competitive school. It doesn’t matter what your major will be.</p>
<p>I disagree. I’m pretty sure a college would rather see an AP level science class than an introductory physics class but just my opinion</p>
<p>@Ballislife6 yes but you must have taken physics. If you look at many college websites, those three classes are required or highly recommended for admission</p>
<p>Physics may be recommended, but no college is going to reject a kid for not taking one class. Unless you are looking to be an engineer or something of the science field, physics is not mandatory. I’ve known plenty of people who have never taken physics and have gone to very good schools.</p>
<p>Most colleges requirement is: Three lab sciences, consisting of one year of biology, chemistry, and physics/AP science</p>
