<p>Crazy to triple AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics B in my junior year?</p>
<p>Was thinking of moving AP Statistics to senior year.</p>
<p>When the three sciences are added in, my junior schedule would look similar to:</p>
<p>English 11 H
Spanish 5 H
Orchestra 4 H*
AP U.S. History
AP Physics B
AP Chemistry
AP Biology</p>
<p>(Multivariable Calculus H at night)</p>
<p>Before any of you begin to berate my doggedness, I'd like to point out I won't necessarily have to deal with AP Calculus BC, as I did it in sophomore year, (multi is a joke after finishing single), and both Biology and Chemistry H (took in 9th and 10th grade respectively) were very easy.</p>
<p>Since I heard Chemistry H covers 75% of AP Chemistry's material, and AP Biology is simply rote work (however, this might change in years to come), the only "challenge" would be AP Physics B; however, I find that subject immensely enjoying, unlike many I know.</p>
<p>So ideas? Or if I were to remove one science course from that list and replace it with AP Statistics, which would it be? Physics? Chemistry? Biology?</p>
<p>o_o How can your schedule fit that many classes? That’s insane.
I’m taking Physics B and U.S. History this year as a junior. Physics is easy and fun, while U.S. is a ton of work (but that’s just because of my teacher). I would have taken another science if I knew I could, but I wouldn’t take 3 sciences. Even if I could do it, I would probably just be overwhelmed with the amount of science and the labs. I suggest that you take AP Statistics instead of Biology and take Biology in your senior year. Besides, I bet it’s highly unlikely that your schedule would even work out unless your school has a few periods for each subject (at my school, there’s only one AP Chem, one AP Bio, and one AP Stats class).</p>
<p>Thank you for your input!</p>
<p>I was thinking that too: to redistribute the workload across two years. And I’m curious to see how the AP Biology curriculum changes in 2013.</p>
<p>Right now I think AP Biology students reading the Campbell’s book read 56 chapters (which is a ton). I read somewhere that with the new curriculum, only about 30 chapters will remain fully in tact and the rest will be cut down. I would wait for that.</p>
<p>Take AP Bio senior year. Chem+Physics is manageable if you’re mathy enough.</p>
<p>You’re right about multi. It’s a breeze after Calc 1 and 2. That schedule is not that bad assuming you are pretty adept in science and can memorize a bunch of info. If anything, I would replace Bio with something else if you feel you are being overloaded.</p>
