<p>Currently I'm a sophomore, and our school's switching to a shorter period schedule. I had planned out junior year that I'd take maybe honors physics and chem one year then AP Physics (I'm pretty sure its C) and AP Chem.</p>
<p>Now because of the schedule change next year that won't work.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if I could at-least skip the honors requirement for the classes. I know for physics that you need Calculus, but I'm already taking AB right now and so far it's been a breeze. I'm thinking of just doing PSEO and taking Calc 2 at the U of M here. So any suggestions?</p>
<p>taking an honor or regular science class and then taking the AP version after, is totally overrated. Many people go straight to AP and do fine, if not thrive. I think you should take AP Chem junior year and then go AP physics C senior year. With time and effort, you will do good in each class. If your up to it, you could also self study physics b junior year?
~Just my 2 cents</p>
<p>I skipped honors physics and I was fine but I would suggest taking honors chem. AP chem is hard enough without a chem background (at least in my school there is a sizable minority of kids who fail every test… many of which have gotten into Ivy League schools).</p>
<p>Okay so if I did take AP Physics C next year without honors, permitting if my school allowed it, would I probably be able to pass the class with my only previous knowledge of physics being 9th grade honors science?</p>
<p>Same thing basically if took AP Chem instead, only background being 9th grade really (Half year was focused on chemistry other half on physics).</p>
