<p>at my school
9th H Bio
10th H Chem
11th AP Physics
12th AP Chem and AP Bio</p>
<p>9th Bio H - decent teacher
10th Chem H - doesnt teach sh-t
11th Physics H - crappy IB program doesn't let you take physics AP
12th Physics AP</p>
<p>that's my plan</p>
<p>most people have the same 9th and 10th as me, but they take the Physiology (sp?) --> AP Biology route instead</p>
<p>ur school is going to do the same thing mine is doing now you must take H physics first before AP because so many kids were complaining about their grades</p>
<p>In the special gifted program I'm in:</p>
<p>9th: MSC Chemistry
10th: MSC Physics (full year); MSC Biology (second semester only)
11th: MSC AP Biology (really just a continuation of last semester)
12th: MSC AP Chemistry; MSC AP Physics C (both full year)</p>
<p>Physiology sucks.... </p>
<p>9th: Biology
10th: Chemistry
11th: Physics
12th: AP Biology</p>
<p>Everyone takes three sciences in 9th grade, two in 10th, and one or two in 11th/12th. The exact distribution varies from person to person, but here's mine.</p>
<p>9th: Biology, Chemistry, Physics (supposedly equivalent to honors classes)
10th: Chemistry, Physics (continuation of above)
11th/12th: IB Chemistry HL, IB Biology SL</p>
<p>cameliasinensis where in the world do you go to school?</p>
<p>some rich magnet school?</p>
<p>I go to an international private school in DC. We have a lot of graduation requirements. Copied from my school profile:</p>
<p>9th grade
English
2nd language
3rd language (optional)
Math
Geography
History
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Choice of two: Art/Music/Drama/Journalism
Physical Education</p>
<p>10th grade
English
2nd language
3rd language (optional)
Math
Geography (optional)
History
Choice of two: Biology/Physics/Chemistry
Choice of two: Art/Music/Drama/Journalism</p>
<p>11th/12th grade (IB Diploma)
3 IB Higher Levels
3 IB Standard Levels
<a href="must%20include%20English,%20math,%20lab%20science,%20social%20science,%20and%20foreign%20language">i</a>*
Theory of Knowledge
Choice of one: Art/Music/Drama/Journalism</p>
<p>I definitely thought it was a pain in the ass in the lower grades, but in retrospect I'm really grateful. I wouldn't have chosen to take all those science classes my freshman year of high school, but then I realized I wanted to be a science major... it's a huge relief that I don't have to worry about being inadequately prepared for college-level science classes because I made some stupid choices when I was 12.</p>
<p>9th: physical science
10th: biology
11th: APES
12TH: NONE OR AP PHYSICS</p>
<p>ME:
9THl PHYSICAL SCIENCE (SUMMERBIO)
10TH H Chem
11th APPHYSICS/APBIO/APES
12TH !?!!1?!!?!!?!/!/!</p>
<p>9th: Biology (No Honors Offered)
10th: Chemistry Honors
11th: Physics Honors
12th: AP Physics (Calc-Based)</p>
<p>9th grade - physics
10th grade - chemistry
11lth grade - first year biology HL, chemistry HL or SL, or physics HL or SL
12th grade - second year biology HL, chemistry HL or SL, or physics HL or Sl</p>
<p>The chemistry and physics classes at a higher level are not offered in the same year, so you would take either chemistry HL one year and physics HL the other year.</p>
<p>9th-Honors Bio (harder than AP, since we cover half of the college material)
10th-AP bio (fun), Honors Chem (joke)
11th- AP chem (supposedly toughest), honors physics
12th- AP physics B, AP enviro optional</p>
<p>If you double up at my school, you'll probably end up choosing science courses.</p>
<p>normal:
9 - Intro to physics/chemistry
10 - bio
11 - chem
12 - physics</p>
<p>me:
9 - Intro to physics/chem H
10 - bio H
11 - chem H/phys H
12 - AP: bio,chem,phys C</p>
<p>normal:
9: biology
10: chem
11: physics or physiology or environmental
12: see above</p>
<p>me:
9: bio H
10: chem H
11: Ap chem/ physics H/ AP bio (indep.)
12: AP physics C</p>
<p>Normal people take:
9th - Earth Science Regents
10th - Living Environment Regents
11th - Chemistry Regents
12th - Physics Regents</p>
<p>Smart People take:
8th - Earth Science
9th - Honors Bio
10th - AP Physics B + Chemistry Regents (stupid lack of honors chem class)
11th - AP Chemistry + AP Physics C (Mech + E&M)
12th - AP Bio</p>
<p>I wish there was an AP Physics D :/</p>
<p>i am taking...
9th - honors physical science
10th - honors biology
11th - ap biology
12th - havent decided, i was thinking about ap chem but i havent taken any chemistry before, so i dont know</p>
<p>lol i take a lot of science classes...</p>
<p>9th- H Physical Science</p>
<p>10th- H Chem and H Bio</p>
<p>11th- AP Bio and Advanced Sci Research (i do astrophysics cause im cool)</p>
<p>12th- AP Phys C Mechanics and ASR again</p>
<p>what ive taken...</p>
<p>9th - honors physics
summer - regular chemistry
10th - honors biology and chemistry AP
11th- biology AP
12th - physics C AP</p>
<p>im a big science nerd and really wanted to take the AP for each of the major sciences...and also FYI, this is far from typical at my school</p>
<p>pretty much everyone takes an AP science class</p>
<p>9 - Physics
10 - Chemistry, Biology
11 - AP Physics C, AP Chemistry
12 - AP Biology</p>
<p>Having to take the honors-level course before the AP-level course really sucks.</p>
