APUSH or Math/Science Compeitions

I am pursuing a medical profession, and my main interests are in biology and Math. I have done pretty well in competitions, and I hope to make USJAMO or Nationals for biology in the next two years. My Apush teacher is extremely tough and grades everything harshly and makes hard tests so people who take that class tell me all of their day is hogged by apush. Should I take honors instead to focus on my competitions?

I think you should.
