Ap Chem or Ap Physics

[Arty]

(high school btw)

i am taking honors chem now and honors physics next year, but for senior year opinions on which you think is better Ap chem or Ap physics?

 

[Wtalk2]

Well what are you looking to move onto once out of high school?

[Totallycasual]

Chemistry.... you can become the new Walter White!  :lol:

[Tonylu1595]

Why not both?

[Daegun]

Do you like math? If the answer is no, or not really, then you should avoid ap physics like the plague

[Arty]

Why not both?

don't have room, taking engineering classes 

[werto165]

Both chemistry and physics can be very helpful: they have some topics that could possibility overlap. entralpy, gibbs free energy and such, thermodynamics are both learnt in chem and physics. Chemistry could lead you to chemical engineering, if you decide not to go that route its always helpful with some ground knowledge of thermodynamics.

don't have room, taking engineering classes 

Skip lunch.

 

 

Jk, I know you can't do that.

If you're doing engineering just do physics they're very interlinked more so than chemistry.

hmm, thats mainly the reason thier both helpfull

Thats a good question, something tech related most likely, just have not narrowed it down yet

Well im in Calc 1 and 2 atm, (10th grade) 

 

 

 

 

andi was gonna take both, but my district switched from trimesters to semesters so that means 3 less calsses a year

[Arty]

Skip lunch.

 

 

Jk, I know you can't do that.

lunch is 25 minutes...legit i would fail... if class was only 25 minuts

[Interfectorem]

Chemistry is my favorite Science branch of all time. I just find it so interesting and fits together so many pieces of the puzzle in life.

[Imabigmac]

I completed Chem 12 and currently working on Physics 12. I like math more than things like Biology and chemistry. So that really dictated my impressions of chemistry and I have say I not totally sure why I did chemistry it was a lot work and I got little out of it. Physics on the other hand I get much more out of. - mind you what you get out of may vary depending on the course structure and topics.,

Oh, all my periods are the same length (50 minutes)

[juretrn]

I hate chemistry, so the choice of physics is obvious.

[Arty]

Oh, all my periods are the same length (50 minutes)

this year 5x70 minute classes plus 25 minute lunch for me lol

next year 6x60 minute calsses plus 25 minute lunch

[Tonylu1595]

next year 6x60 minute calsses plus 25 minute lunch

Oh, do the same grades have the same lunch together?

[TRINHbot1101001]

I'm majoring in Chemistry and I really like the subject, so I would recommend taking that.  But you should finish out both of your honors classes first and see which one you like more.

[Arty]

Oh, do the same grades have the same lunch together?

nope, this we have staggered lunchs a/b/c  a before b middle c after the middle class so grades are usally mixed into

idk next year

[Hyttech]

Oh interesting, my school is 4x 115 min, 25 min lunch (a-d), and 1 hour study, next year the same but study period becomes another class (year long, other classes are by semester or switch everyday)

 

I'd personally say to look into other things besides these ap classes, since you already took a lower level of the class.

high school and only 4 classes a day? hmm

Oh. I have 8 periods in total, 50 minutes each. Lunch periods are 4,5,6 divided using the computer algorithms to make the best schedule.

 

Can't have lunch period classes shorter than other ones.

I would go for Physics. If I'm remember correctly, AP Chem is super hard, but AP Physics is super fun. I didn't take either and this may have changed since I was in high school, but that's what my friends always said.

[EcchiRevenge]

AP chem.
