Skip regular chem, go straight to AP?

<p>Well, in my school, there is no honor chem, if I don't go straight to AP, I will have this regular class, which means the full GPA for it is 4.0. This actually drags down my GPA and hurts my rank in class(I will have 4 classes with the possibility of getting 4.5). I have done 1 year of chemistry before, but that was in China, the curriculum was different. Should I skip chem regular? Is AP manageable? consider I am Asian and I am usually quite good at science:) Or if i self study some stuff over summer I will be fine?</p>

<p>If the administrators at your school will allow you to skip it, I would say self-study in the summer and go for it. Good luck in your endeavors.</p>

<p>It’s not that hard to get the teacher go allow me to skip it in my school. But considering I am also taking AP Calc ,Stat and physics B next year. They might say this is too much. But I will try. Thanks:D</p>
