OK, I am a senior currently taking AP Bio and AP Chem. I took honors Physics Junior year. It does not matter when you take the classes, and yet it does matter. Bio and Chem are good courses to take concurrently, because there is material that is common to both courses. I have done this with a lot of courses.

AP Stat and Trig had some similar topics
AP Calc and Physics, well this is basically the same course ;)

You might actually be better off doing what my friend did, and taking Bio and Chem Junior year, and skipping honors physics and going directly into AP Physics B, because there is little difference in Honors Physics and Physics B IMO.

The good thing about getting 2 AP sciences in junior year, is that not only will you be able to do well on the AP tests, but also, you can satisfy 2 of you SATII test with Chem and Bio. I feel as if I could have scored higher on my science SATII (I took physics btw) if I had an AP class to go along with it.
