The Never-Ending Dispute: AP Chem or AP Bio

<p>next year I will be going into Junior year and will be taking 4 AP classes being: APUSH, AP Calc, AP Lang, and Ap Chem. although I am pretty set on doing chem, I'm still torn between the two classes. As Junior year being crucial, I am looking for the class that will be easier, especially because I am taking on the challenge of having 4 AP classes. However, I understand that chem is more grasping mathematical concepts and applying them, while bio requires more memorization. Though I am more interested on the content of bio opposed to chem, I do not have time to memorize, and from what I learned in sophomore year chem, I enjoyed being able to apply the concepts, but I did not like all the other abstract pieces. also, if I do take ap chem this year, I will be taking ap bio senior year, so I guess it is more the placement that matters. I plan on taking the Biology subject test this year, so I'm not sure if taking ap bio during junior would aid in that process? I'm afraid to drop ap chem during junior year for bio because I already have the past knowledge and basis stored from last year, and I don't want to lose that. but again, there is another "but", I want to major in pre-med, and am looking into intermal medicine, so bio-chem will be an essential part of my studies, so would it be better to take chem in my senior year so it'll be easier when i enter college to have that information? </p>

<p>AP Bio is easier, especially if the pictures and diagrams in the textbook are good. It’s not like you have to make flashcards and go over them for three hours every day or something.
AP Chem is hard, but not because of the math (which is Algebra II at most). </p>

This (usually) isn’t a major. Your major in some subject and take medical school prerequisites. </p>
