I had to burn up 9th grade taking Physical Science. Because my school does a semester system thing, I was still able to take 7 sciences overall, 3 of which being my senior year. I did:
9th: Physical Science
10th: Biology 1
11th: Biology 2, AP Biology
12th: Chemistry 1 (lol), Physics, AP Physics B
As for APs, I took a total of 5 in high school. Biology, Physics B, Calculus AB, Microeconomics, and Literature. Only took one test so far and that was the Biology one. That was quite an easy 5.

To a canadian(me) you sound like your talking in a foriegn language. Someone please dumben an explanation as to how your system is. It seems so non-trade oriented and all smart ass kid oriented to me. -brain asplodz-AP and IB classes are college-level courses taught in high schools, where at the end of the course in May, there's an exam administered for it, and you're scored on a scale of 1-5 on it. Colleges will give credit for scores as low as 3s sometimes (although Georgia Tech, the college I'm going to, doesn't take anything lower than a 4). Basically, it's a nice way to get some college credit for only 84$ xP
