I will be a senior this year and I have to choose between AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Calculus BC. I made a 5 on AP Calc AB and a 3 on AP Physics 1. I’m looking for the easier class. Which one should I take?
Both are difficult. If you want something easier, choose AP Calc BC. If AB covers Calc 1, then BC will cover either Calc 1 and 2 or just 2- either way you will be prepared. AP Physics seems interesting from what I’ve seen but some of the topics will be confusing. Although you can take AP Physics with (or after) AP Calc AB, you will be more prepared for BC.
Good luck!
Colleges like to see you finish ap calc so if you have already taken apcalc ab, why not take apcalc bc?
Well, the obvious answer is “take both.” If you don’t take AP Physics, what would you take for a science class?
