[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone's kid taken AP Chem without taking Regular or Honors Chem first?

My sophomore enrolled in AP Physics this year and is doing well (unconventional, but allowed). He wants to take AP Chem next year but won't have taken regular or honors Chem first. We can't quite figure out if the AP Chem content builds on the first Chem class or if if MCPS just frowns upon kids taking AP Chem without an initial Chem class.

Yes, he'll talk to the counsellor. We are just trying to see if this is a county curriculum thing or a school thing. [/quote]

"AP Physics" is not a class.

There are 4 different AP Physics classes.

AP Physics 1 and AP C Mechanics (full-year pace) do not have a Physics prereq.

AP Physics C (1-semester pace for each of Mechanics and E&M) has a prereq of Honora Physics or AP Physics 1.

AP Chem has Chem prereq.

Thank you for this information that I already knew? Obviously my kid is in AP Physics 1. And obviously we are asking about the enforcement of the AP Chem pre-req. [/quote]
