<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Next summer I have the option of taking ap physics 1 at a community college. Would you guys recommend this or would this be too hard?
Thanks</p>
<p>If you are a good math student in Algebra II, AP Physics 1 won’t be hard. But if you plan to take the AP exam next May, you may forget some of the subject material by then. It’s best to take AP exams right after a year long course in high school when the info is fresh on your mind.</p>
<p>@rhapsody17 Thanks. I plan to study for the exam a couple of months before hand</p>
<p>CC classes aren’t very difficult. Check the teacher’s ratings online before you take it, though; although take these ratings with a grain of salt: the people who review aren’t always the smartest people in the world. My Psych teacher was rated as ‘hard’, but I did better in that class than in any class I’ve ever taken at school. Like, I got ~96. </p>

<p>Do you think if take the class at the CC the credits will transfer and I won’t have to take the AP Exam?</p>
<p>Top colleges may not accept CC credits transfer.</p>
<p>I’m in AP Physics 1 right now, and I’m pretty much just self-studying at this point (i.e. we do nothing in class, and I just read the textbook/figure stuff out in my own time). The content is pretty straightforward, you should be fine if you have a strong math background! A class at a CC should suffice.</p>
<p>
Those schools also may not accepting AP exams</p>
<p>I think I’ll go ahead and do it. I still have a few moths to decide if I change my mind. I’m in pre calc risn’t now so math isn’t a problem</p>
