<p>So the AP Physics teacher at my school doesn't really prepare kids that well for the AP exam, so while most kids have an A in the class, almost half fail the ap exam. The AP calculus teacher is harder, and I could probably only get a mid to high B, and I'd have to work harder for it, but almost everyone passes the AP exam. Would it be better to do well on the AP Cal exam and have a lower grade, or hopefully get a 3/ fail the AP physics exam, while having a higher grade (which would help my class rank)
Opinions?
Thank you</p>
<p>If you are a senior, go with physics. </p>
<p>If you are junior or underclassman, go with calc.</p>
<p>what GPA said.</p>
<p>Also, failing your AP physics exam (though still having an A) will show colleges that that was just an easy class that you sailed through. The whole point of taking honors/AP classes is to challenge yourself.</p>
<p>Calculus AB hands down. if you are going to take Physics take Physics C.</p>
