Hi
I don’t want to push my kid too hard, she will be junior next year and is doing regular Chem this year, the course is too easy for her, she has taken Bio in freshman. She is taking honor level Algebra 2/Trig currently. She has ADD and this year has been hard for her. She begins to take med and is getting better.

Next year, she has the option of taking AP Physics and AP Chem, along with pre-cal. Math has always been easy for her and I am not concerned, but how difficult are AP Physics and AP Chem? She is planning to take a summer course in Physics, and summer courses had been helpful in the past two years. I have been discussing with her but I just don’t know how difficult the material can be…We discussed the possibility of taking only AP Chem, but leave AP Physics to the senior, is it a good idea to leave Physics to senior year?
