Which physics? If it’s B then he doesn’t even need Calc. He should most definetly not take C if he has no background in Physics (even with an Honors background in physics, I wouldn’t recommend C).

IMO, he should take Chem his Junior year and Physics his senior year. In my school it is required for you take Chem in Soph and Physics in Junior (you can take AP either the required year or do standard/honors the required year and do AP th next year if you want). If your school is like mine then that means you’d have a year of Chem under your belt before taking AP Chem (a definite must in most cases) and a year of Physics under your belt before you take AP Physics. This of course assumes he took Chem Honors this year and is taking Physics Honors next year if he’s not gonna do AP until his senior year.

Why is he taking them if he doesn’t want to go into a science field?
