[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you take AP Chemistry or AP Physics? I mean sure the magnet Physics and Chem cover some of that but don't prepare students for the AP, which is helpful for those magnet kids who plan to go to college.[/quote]

Magnet Physics and Chemistry are mostly the full year MCPS class taught over 1 semester instead of 2. They do not prepare kids for the AP exam.  I am not aware of kids taking the exam after freshman year.  My DC took AP Chem after Magnet Chem and I think that is the norm.  [/quote]

Would taking AP Chem as a Junior as a magnet elective possible before going deeper with analytical chem etc be possible?

I'm mostly curious since there are only so many periods and loading AP Chem on top of 4 magnet classes would be tough with SS, English, PE/Health/Music, FL reqs.[/quote]

Who are you and why are you asking all these questions? You don't sound like a magnet parent. If you were a magnet parent you'd know that AP Chem, AP Physics and AP Bio are possible but strongly not recommended. The magnet equivalents are more challenging and go into more depth. I think they recommend Genetics and something else instead of AP Chem and they cover nearly all the AP topics and a lot more.[/quote]
