I thought bio was easier than physics. The only thing, though, is you gotta do a lot of work throughout the year. It's a lot of reading, but not so much concept-wise. Where Physics you need to know the concepts and the math really well, Bio was more if you read the book, you could do it. Problem is it's a lot of reading.

Bio's reading is not only plentiful, but boring and rather dense at times as well. However, it's fortunate that most of the time, you won't need to know the level of detail the textbook goes into. As long as you understand the broader concepts and are good at reasoning, you should be able to do well based on class lectures and homework alone. Well, that and labs.
At our school, at least, it's the class that students have to worry about, not the test itself.
That advanced/honors track for math doesn't look too bad. I don't see why they'd consider AP Statistics to be harder than Calculus, though.
Honors/AP has taken a very unfortunate toll on our school. It's a public school without many remedial classes, so the segregation between the students enrolled in "advanced" classes and those who aren't has become a bit vicious.

Thanks guys, its good to know what's in store for me. Did I tell you that I happen to have a *dislike* of Algebra? Unfortunately the remedial(A)/honors(H)(AP)(GT) divide also exists in our school. It even exists with the admin. If your drop out of Honors, it's very near to impossible and in some cases you're not allowed to go back up to honors. As for physics, well I'm prepared for that to be hard... The teacher (Mr. Haine) is one of our coaches. That can be good and bad

Thanks Again.
