If you want to be successful in an AP science class, take the honors-level version first

•  For example, take Honors Earth Science before AP Environmental Science, Honor Chemistry before AP Chemistry, or Honor Physics before AP Physics

Ask your current science teacher about your choices for next year

If you made an A or B in your last science course, consider an honors-level course for your next science course

You need 3 science credits to graduate, but more science credits may increase your competitiveness when applying to 4-year universities
