AP Dilemna

<p>Here's the thing, AP Physics B won't fit into my schedule for next year.</p>

<p>I have to jump straight into Physcis C according to my counselor, and although the phys teacher is GReat, I'm nervous.<br>
Has anyone heard of people going straight into Phys. C with PHys B?
Plus keep in mind I will only be taking CALC AB at the same time as phys C</p>

<p>i meant without* Phys B</p>

<p>im goign into physics c without physics b or honors lol.</p>

<p>I'm going into Physics C without any Physics background. </p>

<p>I am also taking Calc AB along with Physics C, and I am currently taking Math Analysis (Pre-Calculus) to be able to take Physics C.</p>

<p>People I've talked to say I'm crazy, but it can be done!</p>

<p>Yes, this is possible. You don't have to take AP Phys B to take Phys C. It's going to be a lot more math-intensive than your previous phys classes, so be careful.</p>

<p>Its a lot of work, but doable.........</p>

<p>have you guys taken any AP courses independently? i don't know if im being greedy but if i were to add micro or macro economics and do ok in all of the AP tests (4 or 5), because phys c counts as two tests, i (or any person) could be a ntional ap scholar as a junior!
Overall is that title worth putting urself thru all these APs at once, or will it not really matter if you wait the extra summer and become one as a senior?</p>

<p>i went straight into AP Physics C with AP Physics B and i got 5's on both exams. however, i did take calc AB the year before but you only need like two things for Physics - the basic integral and derivative. it's a little bit more difficult but try to learn some calc beforehand.</p>

<p>if you can handle it okasannadog, then go for it, i took 3 soph and 6 junior, it wasn't that bad and i get the title of natl ap scholar :D</p>

<p>did you mean without* physics B?
thanks for the reply rose</p>

<p>yes without... oops. typoed.</p>

<p>it's feasible. do it.</p>

<p>It's not difficult at all. Think about it: Physics C is the equivalent of an introductory college class. So if freshmen in college can do it with only one year of high school physics (not equivalent to Physics B), it is stupid to think that students in high school would have a hard time doing the same.</p>

<p>Calc will help you a bit with Physics, in terms of all the position/velocity/acceleration problems. And don't worry about Calc.</p>
