<p>Im just wondering what Science course I should take next year considering I want to pursue a history/Political Science major.</p>
<p>1) AP Enviromental Science
First year my school will be offering it; the topic seems to go well with a history major</p>
<p>2) AP Biology
I did pretty well in biology not much math involved</p>
<p>3) AP Chemistry
I excelled at chemistry, but since Junior year I'll have good grades in Chemistry and a solid SAT2 score in Chemistry is taking Chemistry AP in Senior year showing a lack of depth?</p>
<p>Is AP Enviromental Science generally considered an easy course? I want to keep my course load challenging since I can keep up with the work load, by the way AP Physics is out of my league.. period :)</p>
<p>What do you guys think, I know I know myself best, but my main questions I suppose are about AP Enviromental Science and the Chemistry thing.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry at my school is just, if not more, hard than AP Physics. I'd go with AP Biology, challenging, but not too challenging, especially for when senioritis strikes you</p>
<p>thanks for your reply just looking for some answers about enviromental science I suppose, I am leaning towards Biology, we have had the same lady teaching Bio she is hard but EVERYONE gets a 5 on the AP after they have, she is leaving next year so I may be caught with a complete idiot teaching and I may have to self-teach myself have the course</p>
<p>If you like math, AP Chem might be more of your flavor. If you prefer reading/memorizing/writing over math, then Bio is likely better. It all depends on your preference. I strongly prefer/enjoy math over reading, so AP Chem was a fun experience for me.</p>
<p>enviro is good for polysci because half of it is social science, laws, restrictions etc.</p>
<p>exam is mad easy, with a background in science, you could probably get a 3 on it before even starting the class.</p>
<p>although i've heard rumors of it being considered AP lite, it really depends on your school. My teacher was mad insane, but every single student got a 5, (except for one, who ironically, is going into marine biology)</p>
<p>realizing much of what I wrote is superfluous, if you like polysci, you will like APES</p>
<p>Hey guys thanks for all the replies. I am not a big math guy, I am doing very well in Chemistry and plan to take the SAT2 in it but i would imagine if I am not mistaken that tons of AP Chemistry will be math based.</p>
<p>My school offers 2 English APs and by next year I would have taken them both, and I would have taken 3 APs in Social Studes (1 year of honors Global History). So I will have to pack in a science.</p>
<p>Will Enviromental Science look plain bad, it seems like it will complement Political Science fairly well.</p>
<p>Anyway I am leaning towards Bio, but ckmets13 why do you recommend Chemistry, does it look that much better for college and is that AP credit in Chemistry more valuable?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the replies, keep em commin'</p>

<p>If they were a math person, they wouldn't be saying Physics is out of their league. I love math and hated AP Chem, although I did okay in it.</p>
<p>But I agree that Chemistry sounds like the best choice for you. AP Chem is not an easy class, so you won't be looked down on for taking it senior year.</p>
<p>For me, the hard part was wraping my mind around all the abstract concepts; The math in AP Chem doesn't go beyond Algbera II... if you know about logs, how to plug in numbers and solve for a variable, and a smattering of geometry you'll do fine.</p>
<p>Yeah I am going to see if I can balance Enviro and Bio, spending a lot more time on Biology of course. I am not incompetant by any means in Math, it just doesn't come naturally to me like everything else.</p>
<p>Anyway thanks for all the input guys, I found it most valuable</p>
<p>Hamster, I don't think the math is difficult in itself, but you just can't understand the math, you have to know how to manipulate it and all that jazz.</p>
<p>if you have taken human geography, you will find this course to be amazingly simple. As alot of it deals with demographics and population control. </p>
<p>If not, you will probably still find this course rather easy.</p>
