What should I take?`

Strike, whatever you take, it should be the AP class. There's nothing quite so nice as strolling into College with a half-year's worth of credits already under your belt. Makes you feel like, well, Chuck Norris.

If you have the brains for it, definitely take the AP courses. They will generally be taught by better teachers, and the students are a little more serious and willing to learn, rather than goof off. Scoring well on the AP tests can give you college credit in those classes, which have several benefits:

1. "Free" credits, you can graduate earlier.
2. The classes you get credit for are usually weed out courses, so you get to avoid those.
3. Some colleges order course registration based on credit hours, so having free credits allows you to sign up for the good profs before the rest of your class.

What is this AP class, what is the difference between a normal class and an AP one ?

Whatever you take, don`t take Chuck Norris.

AP stands for Advanced Placement. These classes are typically harder than your standard high school class, and cover material that is usually taught in the first year of college. There are standardized AP tests that you can take at the end. Some colleges will accept good results in these tests as credit for college freshmen level courses.

I would say that Physics at this level is generally easier, especially if you are of a mathematical bent-if you know the equations, you should be fine. Chemistry on the other hand, has far more to memorise, but is, I find, more interesting, and has far more big explode-ey practicals than Physics.

It's up to you, really.

I'd take both along with AP Calc, if you have the prerequisites.

Ap Chemistry is a good class. I found it interesting to learn how stuff, like battries in electrochemistry, actually worked. The solution and equalibrium part I found a bit dull, but otherwise a good class.

I'm assuming you mean Physics B. I would have loved to take that class, if my school offered it. They only offer C and regular physics. You need a year of physics for C, so I was forced to take regular when I moved here. I really wish I was in B.

Even if you don't care for science, you can take the courses, do good on the AP exams, and then use your score to get credits at college. Colleges usually require you to take a few intro science courses anyway.

well dog knows why you want to do science, but physics is okay

What is all this stuff about Chuck Norris and why did it explode today? I heard it on Opie and Anthony, it's on my university's sports forum, on RTW forums now, etc.

I once heard that a guy once asked Chuck Norris if his real name was Charles and he stared at the guy so hard the guy exploded and Gary Coleman popped out of the guy's body and said, "Ze plane, boss, ze plane!" and Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked Gary Coleman's head and his head exploded and then a thousand ninjas jumped out and Steven Segal wanted to help but Chuck Norris had already killed all of them so Steven Segal hid his head in his belly and cried.

I voted chemistry.
