How hard is the transition from honors to AP in a science? I take Honors Chem now and am aiming to take AP in a science next year. How hard was the transition from honors to AP for you guys? What you need to know for it?
Actually, I went from regular classes straight to AP; I was recomended for AP right after my freshman year. Difficulty and structure of classes will differ between schools as well as individual teachers, but the main difference I observed, and enjoyed, was that there was greater emphasis on problem solving methodologies in AP instead of simple memorization, which is a characteristic of many regular courses. I highly recommend AP U.S. History, it can be tough as nails but it is fun and will give you some significant analytical skills.
The material isn't that much harder, it's just that the work load is increased, and that's what makes it "Advanced Placement". They move a lot more quickly in those courses than in regular honors or CP courses.
Freshman year I took regular physcial science, sophomore year took regular bio, and this year taking honors chem. How much of information do I need to retain from those classes say like honors chem heading into AP Chem, AP Bio, or AP Physics?
