In AP Bio, It's more memorizing and I got an A in Biology Honors, it's probably more work but with memorizing all the boilogical information, the AP test should be a snap. However, AP Chemistry is just applying basic math in chemical questions, but the AP test is harder (the first 75 questions with no calculator permitted). So far, I have an A in Chemistry Honors. In other words: AP Bio = class is hard, test is easy; AP Chem = class is easy, test is hard. Should I still take both or just one of them?

If you're really good at science, and have room to tolerate both, go for it.
AP Bio isn't a hard class for what you have to learn, it's a lot of memorisations, I went into it without actually taking a biology class prior to it.
Chemistry however usually has a requisite before you can jump right into AP Chemistry. So be apprised.
I have friends in both, and the one downfall is the labs, if your school doesn't have labs in class, most likely you'll have to do the AP labs after school.
As with any AP test, just make sure you will be able to study for both, as both will be demanding of your time.
But from personal experience and what I've heard, AP Bio definitely is easier to pass.

These are two of the hardest AP classes. AP Chemistry is more than applying basic math to chemical equations. It also involves tons of memorization and learning of advanced concepts.
It sounds like you have a good foundation in both. I would not think as much about the tests, but about what you can handle in terms of class work. Both will be tons of reading, but your chemistry homework will be harder and take up more of your time. If you take just one, take AP Bio, it's a bit easier. If you take both you have a shot at really proving your science skills to future colleges, which would be a big plus.
Good luck!

exact it easily relies upon on the college yet from what i've got have been given heard chemistry is the toughest and optimal math based. Bio is complicated besides the reality that this is extra memorization. on a similar time as APES is memorization to boot yet you would be able to opt to verify plenty. stay removed from chem in case you do in assessment to math :P
