Not always. This depends on the college where you take the course sequence.Probably not. Isn't A&P I a prerequisite for A&P II?
I'm one of the outliers who took A&P 2 before taking A&P 1. Actually, I had enrolled in both courses during the same semester, but dropped A&P 1 due to the workload and returned to complete it the next semester after having passed A&P 2.
In any of the schools I've been at, A&P I is a pre-req for A&P II.
Even if I could have, I wouldn't have. There is just too much in both I and II to try and take it all one at once. These are the foundation blocks for your schooling. The information you learn is not information that you can just memorize for a test and then do a brain dump on it and never think of it again. A good grasp of both I & II is necessary to be successful as you progress through school.
You could always check if a college (like community college) has half-semesters and holds both A&P 1 and 2 during that same time period. (Sometimes summer or winter sessions have these) This would give you the ability to take them in the same "semester" but devote the same amount of time to both.
Another option might be an online college such as Portage or NursingABC. It's possible to complete a class in a matter of weeks if you put the time and effort in. But I would definitely make sure your chosen college accepts those kinds of courses.
AND FINALLY (sorry I'm long winded, I know) Speaking to your schools advising is always the way to go! They probably dread seeing me because I always have a list of questions. Lol.
Good luck to you!
Could you take A&P1 and 2 at the same time in the summer?
I doubt it but check with your school, every school is different. Even if you could, I wouldn't want to. There is a very long list of things I would rather do than take A&P 1 & 2 at the same time. I'm re-taking A&P 1 & micro & it's a lot.
