<p>^ haha… I would do my homework during lunch and before school started and 2 minutes before it was due, unless it was a big paper or w/e, then I would do it at home.</p>
<p>AP bio and AP chem… easy… CHEM! Oh, well not everyone enjoys math and such as much as I do… haha. Well do you like math and applying knowledge more, or memorizing stupid things that make us all unique?! (okay that is not all bio is about…)</p>
<p>I WISH MY SCHOOL OFFERED AP CHEM!!! grrr… this equals suck!</p>
<p>me too, lol. I haven’t done ANY hw (except for chem and an english essay) for the last few weeks.</p>
<p>Makes relief to finally see some people like myself…except as expected, the degree, time, and level of procrastination/laziness does not compare to mine…but that’s only natural.</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Honors Chem I was a beast at 97% in the Class all the way through. Like everyone says though AP Chem is like HELL, so I’m turned off.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry Vs. AP Biology Dilemma
<p>2) I took Biology Honors Freshman Year and AP Chemistry Sophomore Year. I was a beast at both. I carried a 97% all year in Honors Chemistry. Since, I took Bio H Freshman year I did forget a lot from it, but I did enjoy the subject and I was planning on reading over Biology Sparknotes over the Summer to refresh my memory on the Subject if I take it.</p>
<p>3) I can’t afford another B in High School. Seriously… I got all A’s all year and I want to keep this up. AP Biology seems like an easier course than AP Chemistry according to everyone on CC. I enjoy Chemistry, but AP Chemistry seems like hell compared to Honors Chem by the way you guys make it. I wouldn’t be so worried about doing AP Chemistry, but with my current schedule for next year I’m kinda freaked out. I’m afraid I will get a B in AP Chemistry if I replace it with AP Chem.<br>
My schedule is:
AP English Language
Spanish 3 Honors
AP United States History
Pre Calculus Honors/Analysis of Functions
AP Psychology
AP Biology
Physics Honors
Class Unsure About, but could always replace AP Biology with: AP Chemistry
Am I making AP Chemistry worse than it really is? Which AP Science will benefit me the most with my current schedule. I want to maintain all A’s next year?
4) Not much more time to decide… :(</p>
<p>5) I am attending a brand new High School next year that was just built. I obviously can’t ask kids how hard AP Chemistry is, plus I have no idea who’s teaching it. My Honors Teacher teaches AP Chemistry, but he’s staying at my old school. I wonder if taking AP Chemistry at a brand new high school would be easier to get an A vs. my old school. 
In Summary, I really have no idea what to except if I take AP Chemistry over AP Biology. I love both Subjects, but I don’t want to kill my GPA over this.</p>
<p>^ my advice for you is, are you better naturally at math or humanities?
Bio is more memorization, written stuff
Chem is more math-based
What is your strength?
Mine is humanities, I’m good at memorization, so I’m taking bio</p>
<p>I wish I had to choose between AP chem and AP bio… grr… (well it would be Physics and chem, but never the less.)</p>
<p>Anyway… it sounds like you had a good chem teacher, it is too bad you’re switching schools, eh? I mean the highest grade in my Honors College Chemistry class was a 92.89% (Which was my grade!!!).
Decisions, decisions… but you could always drop honors physics and take both chem and bio, if you really wanted…</p>
<p>Also… even after “acceptance” or w/e, you still have to send your final transcript in, right? So no matter the order, they will eventually see you took AP Bio. But really, with what you’re going into in college, take what you like. Since you will be sending in your Junior transcript, might as well show them where your intrest lies, eh?</p>
<p>I’m really good with memorization, and I’m pretty good at math not freakishly amazing, but good.
Btw I meant Chemistry Honors in 10th.
^^^ Lawl me to the average in my Chem H. Class was pretty low, but I had the highest grade every quarter.</p>
<p>Your school grades in quarters? Psh… I wish my school did, so I didn’t have to maintain my A for so long, than again… more finals? Idk…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We grade in quarters too, but it’s really not an advantage because whatever your grade is on x date becomes 50% of your grade, set in stone. (Unless said class has a state-mandated final or is year-long)</p>
<p>Well set in stone is better, i think. I am better at getting a high A at the beginning of the semester, but it starts to lower towards the end of the semester, but idk.</p>
<p>I would say take bio then, since you said you are best at memorization. It seems like the class will be a little easier for you to get an A in. Plus, since you’re going to a new school, the teachers might be awful. I would think bio would be easier to learn on your own then chem.</p>
<p>Does anyone else’s school do the quarter-quarter-final exam thing to calculate your final grade for a semester? For instance, if you get an A first quarter, an A second quarter, and a B or a C for the final exam, you can get an A for the entire semester. If you get an A first quarter and a B second quarter, you need to get an A on the final exam in order to make an A in the class. The same system is used for third quarter/fourth quarter/second semester final exam to calculate the second semester final grade.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I’m just ignorant and most schools use this system, or if it’s just mine, so forgive me.</p>
<p>^ Most the schools in my county use semester finals only. All the schools I have gone to anyway.</p>
<p>I will not let this thread die.</p>
<p>Well, what out school does is that it splits up the school year into four quarters. For first and third terms, you just get whatever grade you earned in each respective class. For second and fourth terms, your class grade is 75% of that term grade, and the midyear/final is 25% of that term grade.</p>
<p>3 more days of finals and I’m DONE! :D</p>
<p>I’ve been done since Wednesday and I want to go back to school already…</p>
<p>I feel jealous…I have a whole week more before finals start…I don’t get out until the 19th T_T</p>
<p>my finals are this week, and I’m screwed 
But then school is over!!!</p>
