[b]APES fulfills the same requirement as physics. [/b]

Currently having the same debate with my 10th grader at Blair. He is hearing that Honors Physics is really hard with a lot of math. There is non”on level” option. Can anyone hear speak to how difficult APES is at Blair?[/quote]
Yes, but for a kid with weakness in math and science on-level physics is a better choice to guarantee earning the 3rd science credit with a good grade. Don’t risk an over challenging course load in 11th grade where a student might fail semester A in a required credit and then need to take a replacement course senior year.

The best choice for OP’s DC is to take on-level physics in 11th grade and put their energies in to the AP classes in their areas of strength to do well on those tests. Then take APES senior year, where they will be better prepared math-wise and can drop the course without needing to replace it with a science course, if it turns out to be too much.
