Senior Classes- Which Science Class Should I Take??

Just to update with my (current) decision, I talked to my guidance counselor before school let out, we agreed that taking Chem at the CC would be a lot with apps, and also the classes were not available at good times- most were in the middle of the day (when I have school, so not possible), and a few were around 7-9 or 10 pm, and in addition to the lecture class I would have to take the lab class on a second day of the week. Basically, it’d be extremely hard for me to do the chem class. However, we also talked about scheduling, and before it would’ve been hard to fit in two science classes, but for the next year they are completely changing the schedule (going from a normal 7 block to a 5 block with classes switching off every other day). With this new schedule, I’d be able to take honors Chem and honors physics, because each take up basically 1/2 a block (they switch off, so together take up one block). But if I was to take AP physics, it takes up a full block (doesn’t switch off). So, I requested honors chem and honors physics as of now, but I have to see how the new schedule will work and if I can actually fit in all my courses the way I want them to. The only thing with that is that if I don’t get Chem as well, then it’d probably be better to take ap physics instead of only honors, but it’s very hard to move “up” (from honors to ap) after schedules have been made, and our GCs normally do not want people to do that. So, I kind of have a compromise with honors chem and honors physics, fingers crossed that everything will work out! @guineagirl96
