Basically AP chem takes up 0 period which is like 50 minutes for lab and 1 hr 30 minutes in a regular period for lecture. I want to take AP Seminar but I might not have room if I take AP chem so do you think its worth taking? Thanks!
What do you intend to major in?
I would go with AP Chemistry…talk to your GC about what colleges think about AP Seminar/Capstone.
something in medical preferably
If you’re going into medicine or any science, YES. Take the course. A lot of classmates in my AP Chem class have decided not to do pre-med in college because they don’t like AP Chem, don’t understand it, or can’t keep up with it. It is better to test if you would like the med path or not in high school rather than realizing you hate it in your first semesters of college.
I’m not familiar with AP seminar, but I took AP chem and loved it even though the class sucked and I basically self-studied and I’m into physics. If you’re interested in medicine, it’s even more important for you–ESPECIALLY because you’ll have to be familiar with it when you take hard chem classes in college.
I would definitely take AP chem if you’re going into a med/science career. If you major in science, you would probably have to take chemistry in college anyways so taking AP chem in high school would definitely prepare you for the college course.
