Well, it really depends on what you wish to do when you grow up. Even if you were going into the STEM field, it is not recommended to take two AP Sciences at once as both AP Bio and AP Physics 1 will have lots of work. Especially with a lot of other APs, it will defiantly get tougher. If you really think you can handle it, you love science, and have had amazing grades in sciences in the past, you can go for it, but this is defiantly a warning. It may be a better idea to take only one AP Science or pair it up with another science elective, which is not AP.

Colleges recommend taking at least one year of biology, chemistry, and physics, even more so if you are planning on going into STEM. If you have already taken a year of physics, and you have been persuaded to take only one AP Science, you should pick the one you’re more interested in, and if you have not taken a year of physics, you should take AP Physics 1 rather than AP Bio. If you’re going into the humanities, while it is recommended you take a year of bio, chem, and physics, it’s not required for most cases. However, I would recommend the same strategy I said earlier.

Have a good day!
