Can you take AP Biology and AP Physics at the same time?
You should take AP Biology and AP Physics together if you have room in your schedule and want to explore your interest and aptitude in the sciences. Read on to learn more about why and when to take both AP Biology and AP Physics together.
Is AP Physics C harder than ap bio?
If you don’t like memorisation or often get overwhelmed by content, AP Bio will be far harder than AP Physics. Also keep in mind that the threshold for a 5 in AP Physics C is often very very low – meaning that once you learn the content, getting a 5 isn’t all that difficult.
Can you take AP Physics 1 and C at the same time?
Yes. You can. On the first day of school, my AP Physics 1 teacher told the class to consider taking the AP Physics C: Mechanics test along with the AP Physics 1 test. Although they are pretty much same material, one is algebra based while the other is calculus based.
Should I take AP Physics or AP Biology?
If math isn’t your strong suit, stick to AP Environmental Science (APES) and AP Biology. You should only take AP Physics C if you’ve already taken calculus (or are currently taking Calc) since you will not have time to learn both the high level math and the high level physics in one course.
What is better AP Bio or physics?
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.
Which is easier AP bio or AP Physics?
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.
