<p>What will happen if I skip Physics, Chemistry and U.S. history, but taking all there classes in AP level? Any one has any experience with that?</p>
<p>Our school has a funny science system. In freshman year, all must take semester long "intro to physics" which everyone forgets after, and a semester "earth science" about rocks and stuff that no one cares about. Then, in soph., everyone must take a bio (not AP), then in junior year a chem (general, lab, adv., or AP) and in senior year, there are more choices, including AP Physics. </p>
<p>So, yeah, AP Chem right now is pretty hard, but our teacher's a tough grader. You could probably manage it.</p>
<p>We don't have APUSH, though, so I don't know much about that.</p>
<p>You dont need any pre reqs for APUSH. Not sure about the other two</p>
<p>At our school, you don't need physics to do AP Physics B and you don't need US History before APUSH.</p>
<p>As for chemistry, here you need Chem before AP but at my old school, that wasn't the case.</p>
<p>I would just look at the prerequisites for each class and decide from there.</p>
<p>I would suggest taking the normal courses before taking the AP versions of physics and chem.</p>
<p>For APUSH, you do not need pre reqs like above. Chemistry you do not really need it except for a few chapters but you should be able to pick up if you are good at listening/note taking/easily picking up things. In my current AP Chemistry class there are like 3-4 people out of the 15-20 or so that did not take regular and are doing fine. For AP Physics, I heard that was very math based but I have yet to take it.</p>
<p>^ AP Physics is word based for us. No wonder everyone screwed the exam last year</p>
<p>Depends on how smart/motivated you are. (More than that, it depends on how you look at science and learning in general.)</p>
<p>At our school we took AP Physics B without really having physics before that. (We have a course called Research, which is kind of like pre-pre-physics, but that's not really a physics class, and I skipped it anyway.) I did fine with it, but half the kids my year dropped out. The problem is you have to absorb a ton of material really quickly without having seen the concepts before, which is okay if you're smart and spend large chunks of time on the material, but not okay if you don't work at it. It will quite possibly be your hardest class.</p>
<p>...And then I realized everything I said was completely obvious. >.></p>
<p>(It also depends on how good the honors courses are at your school.)</p>
