A good sophmore year schedule?

Taking 2 honors science classes together is a whole different kettle of fish from taking two AP sciences together. One is reasonable if you’re strong in science, the other is ridiculously hard (hours for class+lab, quantity and complexity of hw) to the point some HS don’t allow it.

APWH is different from Ap Chem in that respegt (just a more intense version of honors, not a 2nd level course) and you should always choose the best teacher, so if WH honors has the better teacher that’s the right choice.

In terms of sequencing, you could indeed take AP Chem next year if you’re ready to suffer. But AP Physics C is, like AP Chem, a second level class, so it assumes you’ve taken physics before - could be physics honors if you wish to cover a broader range of topics than in Physics 1, with the idea you’d go in-depth the following year with Physics C.

What’s your math sequence? Does your school offer MVC and/or dual enrollment math?
