I mean from what I've heard, APCSP (not APCSA) is a relatively easy AP course; for the most part, it relies more on logic and general digital literacy over actual programming since it's the just the principles of comp sci but I haven't taken the class nor the AP exam so take my words with a grain of salt

APCSA, on the other hand, uses Java (the programming language), so you're actually required to know how to write code I'm pretty sure? I haven't taken this class either yet but I'm planning to take it next year since it's a class usually for juniors or seniors

Physics is really fun! it's heavily math-based (read: it's a branch of science founded in calculus, although often times, the calculus is simplified into algebra, which is what is done in most high school level classes) and full of concepts and rules on top of that, which makes it a confusing mess to most people, which is why it tends to be given as a junior class

But the challenge it brings honestly makes me like it over Chemistry; from what I've seen of chem so far is just the same problems over and over again, just reskinned with different elements and numbers. You can usually see what's happening in physics, but the difference in the types of problems usually tends to be a modification of the situation/problem itself rather than just a swap of numbers

Although granted it could just be that my physics teacher is much better than my chemistry teacher which is why I feel this way

sorry for rambling on your homethread
