What's better: AP Bio or AP Phys B?

I have absolutely no idea what science course to take next school year. This year, I will finish AP Chem. But now I can't really choose between AP Bio or AP Physics B. I can remember a lot of information and loved that the qualitative data from Honors Bio, but I also like the quantitative data and calculations of Physics. Maybe I should take both? Oh... I don't know... Please, help me...

depends on what college you want to go to. i took physics because the college i applied to is strong on math and science. i would also add in that bio is mostly reading and memorization and physics is mostly conceptual.

I guess if you like hard core math, then Physics will probably be the way to go.Vax45

Does that mean Precalc/Trig? Precalc is cool, but Trig's kinda annoying...

Oh! I have several questions about the AP Chem exam:

-How much of a role do Thermodyanmics and Electrochemistry play in the exam?
-What pieces of info do I need to know about Nuclear Chem?
-MOST IMPORTANT (to me): What was the exam like?

Does that mean Precalc/Trig? Precalc is cool, but Trig's kinda annoying...

In my experience, high school level physics classes don't need anything higher than basic algebra. The problem is the formula's stack up. Some post cards to jot down all your equations will come in handy. I guess it's more on the memorization side, just like BIO :P

LOL. Which animals BTW? In Honors Bio, my classmates and I "dissected" a raw chicken wing.SuperMarioNerd

We dissected a squid, a small bird, a snake, a frog, and a rat.

Damn, that's cool. Was it fun?

Yeah, our teacher was an idiot. I think he thought giving us animals to destroy would be something to do, so he just let us do whatever we wanted. He didnt even grade us for it. It was like dissection recess. We would cut the animals to bits (1 hour of sitting around gets boring in highschool, so you get destructive....)

WOW...0o0 Sadism and violence FTW...

Physics, explains the world. But Biology is great as well, take both if you can handle it. But your stress is the most important thing to consider, if it's going to stress you out bad take only one.SimpJee

That's indeed true. But I LOVE science!

Well if you can understand the meaning behind the equations then it just becomes common sense and you don't have to 'remember' them.
