[quote=Anonymous][quote]In FCPS AP schools, why do some students take AP Physics junior year and AP Chem Senior year and others take AP Chemistry as a Junior and ÀP Physics as a Senior? To me, it seems to make sense to take AP Chem right after Sophmore Chem, since it would be fresh in their minds, so I am curious.[/quote] FCPS basically tracks kids into physics junior year. Kids who are taking AP Chem junior year will often take honors physics at the same time, and then take AP Physics C senior year (which has one year of physics as a prerequisite). AP Physics 1 is better suited for juniors because it doesn't have a physics prerequsite and it's algebra based. Some move from this class to AP Physics C without taking AP Chem. There are also many, many kids who don't take AP Physics or AP Chem at all. [/quote]
