<p>I'm currently a high school junior enrolled in AP Physics B and I must say, it's a lot harder than I imagined. I went on an exchange with my school to Germany and missed two weeks of the curriculum and it's proving impossible to make up, and as a result I'm suffering in class because the tests are always cumulative. I'm normally a straight A student, but my current physics average is a 71 which is twenty points below the lowest average I've ever gotten. So far in high school I've completed 2 AP courses (AP World and Biology) and this year I'm in AP Statistics, AP US History, AP Literature, AP Physics in addition to two honors languages and honors math and I'm getting A's in all of my other classes. Should I drop physics and go into honors physics, where I'm sure I could do dramatically better (I've looked through my friends' work from honors physics and I would have no problems with any of that material compared to what I'm dealing with now), or would it look better to do poorly in an AP class for colleges than it would to do well in an honors class? I'm planning on pursuing a career in history or international relations, so I'm not having any focus on math or science in college.</p>

<p>Boom, first two weeks.</p>
<p>It’s better to go to honors. Trust me I could have a 100% in honors chem, but instead I decided to be an idiot and take AP chem without any prior chem experience. Now I am struggling with an 88.</p>
