1. A well-rounded, college-ready student takes the three core courses [Bio, Chem, Physics] and at least one AP science course. Make a plan: start at your destination work back to your location! You can take more than one course per year. AP Biology doubles up nicely with AP Chemistry or AP Physics. AP Chemistry and AP Physics are both math intensive.

2. Health: life science focus with MCAT prep.

3. Engineering: focus on the physical sciences.

5. For Regular or Honors Biology students: Earth Space, Physical Science, or Chemistry? Dependent on math enrollment for next year: Follow the recommendation of your math teacher. Math drives Science! NOT Science drives Math. For a Freshman in H/Reg Bio enrolling for Sophomore year: If recommended for Honors Algebra II (or higher), Chemistry is recommended. If you loved Biology, consider doubling up with Anatomy & Physiology. If recommended for regular Algebra II, Physical Science is recommended. The extra year of math will prepare you for Chemistry as a Junior. If not recommended for H/Reg Algebra II, Earth Space is recommended. The extra year of math will prepare you for Physical Science as a Junior.

6. For Earth Space students: Physical Science, Chemistry, Zoo., Field, Met., Ast.? Dependent on math enrollment: Follow the recommendation of your math teacher. Math drives Science! NOT Science drives Math. The Well-Prepared Graduate: If recommended for Algebra II or >, Chemistry is recommended. If not recommended for Algebra II, Physical Science is recommended. Other options: Zoology &/or Field Biology if you like Biology. Meteorology &/or Astronomy if you like Physical Science. Doubling Up: If you like Biology, consider taking Physics AND Anatomy & Physiology or AP Biology. If you like Chemistry, consider taking Physics AND AP Chemistry.

7. For Physical Science students: Chemistry, Zoo., Field, Met., Ast.? Dependent on math enrollment: Follow the recommendation of your math teacher. Math drives Science! NOT Science drives Math. The Well-Prepared Graduate: If recommended for Algebra II or >, Chemistry is recommended. If not recommended for Algebra II, consider: Earth Space Science. Zoology &/or Field Biology if you like Biology. Meteorology &/or Astronomy if you like Physical Science. Doubling Up: If you like Biology, consider taking Physics AND Anatomy & Physiology or AP Biology. If you like Chemistry, consider taking Physics AND AP Chemistry.

8. For Chemistry students: Physics, AP Physics I, AP Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, &/or AP Biology? Doubling up? Dependent on math enrollment: Follow the recommendation of your math teacher. Math drives Science! NOT Science drives Math. The Well-Prepared Graduate: One year each of Biology, Chemistry, AND Physics ≥ 1 AP science course: AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics I or II. Physics → +3 points on ACT / Science Reasoning! If recommended for: Hon Precalculus or Acc Precalc, then AP Physics I is recommended. Regular Precalculus, then Physics is recommended. Doubling Up: If you like Biology, consider taking Physics AND: Anatomy & Physiology, AP Biology, Zoology, &/or Field Biology. If you like Chemistry, consider taking Physics AND AP Chemistry.

9. For Physics and AP Physics I students: AP Physics II, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, &/or Anatomy & Physiology? Doubling up? Dependent on math enrollment: Follow the recommendation of your math teacher. Math drives Science! NOT Science drives Math. The Well-Prepared Graduate: One year each of Biology, Chemistry, AND Physics ≥ 1 AP science course: AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics II. What are your interests? What will prepare you? If you like the life sciences, consider Anatomy & Physiology, AP Biology, Zoology, &/or Field Biology. If you like the physical sciences, consider AP Chemistry, AP Physics I or II, Meteorology, &/or Astronomy. Doubling Up: You can take more than one block of science per year.

10. For AP Chemistry, AP Biology, & Anatomy students: The Well-Prepared Graduate: One year each of Biology, Chemistry, AND Physics ≥ 1 AP science course: AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics II. Have you taken Chemistry? Have you taken Physics? What are your interests? What will prepare you? If you like the life sciences, consider Anatomy & Physiology, AP Biology, Zoology, &/or Field Biology. If you like the physical sciences, consider AP Chemistry, AP Physics I or II, Meteorology, &/or Astronomy. Doubling Up: You can take more than one block of science per year.
