Okay, so in a bit of a dilemma.

My high school requires its students to choose majors for Junior and Senior year, sort of like college? This year, I chose AP Physics B (over CADA, I have no idea why), but I'm not enjoying the class at all. Honestly, I feel as if I'm in way over my head.

Now, I can switch out of the class, take another major (Web Design and Development), and still take Physics every day, just not the AP class. I found out that our AP Physics class and the regular honors class are covering the same subject material at the same speed. If I do switch out, I'll take honors Physics and take the AP B test when the time comes. I'd also like to do this since it makes me seem more 'well-rounded,' and I'm more of a computer person than a science person. Not very happy sitting in AP Physics for two 40-minute periods in a day. Thought I would enjoy it more.

Would colleges be looking for the AP course, the test scores, or both? I'm wondering what they take into account. And if you were in my position, what would you do? I also (technically) have until today to switch out, but I'll see if I can get around it. Help please :D

...and yes, I know it was my initial decision to get myself into this class. ^^;
