Can I take AP Bio and honors chem at the same time?
Taking boh Honors Chemistry and AP Biology is definitely doable and allows you to be able to take AP Chemistry as a Junior, and AP Physics (if you are so inclined) as a senior.
Which is harder AP Bio or Apush?
APUSH is a million times easier than AP Bio.
Is AP Bio or AP Chem better for pre med?
As discussed above in the pre-med section, AP biology is the class most closely correlated with future success in intermediate level college courses. While AP chemistry is still associated with higher grades in college, it is only statistically significant for students who receive a score of five on the AP exam.
Can you take AP Bio and AP physics at the same time?
Taking both AP Biology and AP Physics at the same time is a great way to challenge yourself while learning about the natural world. By adding both courses to your workload, you’ll better prepare yourself for a college education.
What is harder AP Chem or bio?
What is this? Biology is ranked as being the easiest of the science APs, more so than Chemistry and Physics. Perhaps because Physics and Chemistry are tough, they are not universally recommended – roughly 20\% of Chemistry and 30\% of Physics students said they wouldn’t recommend that other students take these classes.
Is AP Biology harder than honors chemistry?
Honors chemistry is a lot harder than AP biology. It will help you understand some of the intro chemistry concepts in AP biology, but the level of understanding required in AP biology is very small compared to that of honors chemistry. I’d recommend taking AP biology first if you’re looking for an easier class.
Which is harder AP Bio or AP Physics 1?
AP Science AP Bio is slightly harder than APES, but will look stronger on your transcript if you only plan on taking one science AP. As their names suggest, AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based and AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based, require an understanding of (you guessed it!) algebra in physics.
Should I take AP Bio or physics first?
If you are going into the medical field, the AP Biology as a junior and physics (any level) as a senior would be the best sequence. You’re going to get plenty of biology of all stripes the minute you enter the pre-med curriculum in college. Physics is more “linear” and structured in the mathematical sense.
Should I take AP Physics or AP Chem?
You shouldn’t take AP Chemistry without first taking an introductory Chem class, as the pace of the class is too fast to absorb all of that information for the first time. You should take a physics class before taking Physics C, but you don’t necessarily need one for Physics 1 and 2.
Should I take AP Chemistry or AP Biology?
In short, I would say AP Chemistry because chemistry is required for all science majors in college while biology is not. But really understand your strengths and take the class you think you’ll be more successful in. AP Chem requires more mathematical skills where as AP Bio requires more reading comprehension skills.
Should seniors take AP Physics 1?
AP Physics 1 is also a prerequisite, and this class is only for those who are really serious about looking at a career in engineering or physics. Seniors should think about taking this class, plus juniors who are prepared to work diligently.
Can I take AP Calc BC without taking AP Calculus AB first?
Pre-calculus is a prerequisite for AP Calc AB, and you also need trigonometry and algebra experience. This is the course after AP Calc AB. At my school, students can take AP Calc BC without taking AB first, but it is not recommended. I would definitely suggest taking AP Calc AB before trying your hand at BC!
Do you need calculus for AP Physics 1?
This course doesn’t use calculus, as AP Physics C does, but you still need advanced algebra and trigonometry. AP Physics 1 is also a prerequisite, and this class is only for those who are really serious about looking at a career in engineering or physics.
