<p>Hey guys! So my schedule came and it was REALLY screwed up. I emailed the counselor, and one of the reasons is because Honors Adv. Alg/Trig (Math 4) is the same block as AP Chemistry. So I either have the option to take a general Math 4 class, an keep the AP, or take Chemistry 2 and Honors Math 4. What do you guys think I should do?</p>
<p>Depends on what you plan on doing in college, personally I’d say do AP Chem</p>
<p>I want to be a surgeon. I’m leaning more towards AP Chem, but the people in my school’s general classes are seriously like scary and smoke weed in class… Our school has no discipline ha</p>
<p>What grade are you going into?</p>
<p>Sophomore!</p>
<p>Well do you have to taker Honors Math to get into another class during your junior year? If you don’t take AP Chem and Reg Math 4 if you want, but you could always push off taking a second chemistry class if you wanted to.</p>
<p>Is there any other science you could take? Maybe Biology? My daughter’s school did this to her her Junior year - Honors Pre Calculus conflicted with AP Biology, but it is a prereq for AP Calculus as a Senior. She ended up taking AP Chemistry instead (other choice was Physics, which she didn’t want to take - she plan on being a Bio Major, but not pre-med.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the people who schedule classes often have no clue about what classes shouldn’t conflict.</p>
<p>Usually you do, but considering my counselor suggested me taking a general class, I think she’ll be fine with it. I’m just afraid it won’t be that rigorous and I won’t really be challenged.</p>
<p>Yeah since you’ll be pre med like me, Try to find another science that won’t conflict, AP Physics B or AP Biology.</p>
<p>Realistically Algebra 2 won’t benefit you as much as AP Chem in the long run, the only math you’ll need for pre reqs is CALC or Stats. BUT AP Chem usually requires algebra 2 which in this case might cause some troubles because im guessing the general class is watered down so the “weed smokers” can pass. So you might run into some trouble on the math side of ap chem</p>
<p>I’ve already taken Algebra 2, this is the next class after it, sorry for the confusion guys! But I think I will take the general for now, I can always change out of it if I feel like it’s too watered down. I’ll still have to take Precalculus after, so I think this class is kind of a filler…</p>
<p>It’s during second semester, too. So I have until January to change my mind.</p>
<p>I would choose AP class over Honors because it’s more of a challenge and great on College Application.</p>
