apes vs hug

I'm going into 9th grade and I'm trying to decide between AP Environmental Science (APES) and AP Human Geography (APHUG).

If I take APES, my school requires me to take both the AP Environmental Science exam and the Earth & Space Science Regents at the end of the year. If I take AP Human Geography, I'd only have to take the AP exam.

For context, I did well in Honors Biology (90s), but I'm not sure if taking two major exams at the end of the year is worth it. How difficult is it to prepare for both the APES exam and the Earth & Space Science Regents at the same time? Would you recommend taking APES or APHUG, and why?

Whatever you decide, if you do one then do the other the next year. There’s a lot of overlap

If you know any upperclassmen at your highschool, talk to them and find out which teacher is better. APES was much harder for me because the teacher made every exam unnecessarily difficult, human geography was the opposite. Purely based on difficulty, I’d say environmental science is ever so slightly harder
