AP Biology vs. AP Chemistry

For my senior year I am thinking about taking an ap science class, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty good at biology, Chemistry Honors I am taking next year, but which is harder at ap level?

In junior year...

So you're a soph? or junior?
Either way, see how you like honors chem. and then decide. Often the, for example, AP chem. is a more complicated version of honors chem. If it makes more sense to you, you get the equations, etc... then maybe chem. is right for you.

I'm a sophomore right now, yes. You're right, I think I will probably go for ap bio in the end.

Well, you don't have to decide now. Can you take one next year and the other senior year?
Take your time thinking about it, and choose whichever YOU want to choose and where you'll benefit from the most.

You need to take Honors Chem before APchem. That class is insane. Do AP bio and honors chem together. If this is your first chemistry class then you'll need that for helping with biochemistry in AP bio, too.

I'm probably just gonna do AP Bio in senior if I can get in, I have only Honors Chemistry next year and I'm not that great at math/balancing equations -.-.

Yeah, that sounds pretty smart. Bio isn't that hard--and there is almost no math in it whatsoever. The AP test is good too, not impossible like the Chem test seems to be.

Chem is a nice mix of annoying math and science. I decided that I would stick to Bio since I love biology and I could choose wither I want to think or just remember information.
