AP Physics 1 vs C

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

Should I take AP Physics 1 or AP Physics C next year? I am going to also be taking AP Calculus AB, AP Gov/AP Econ, AP Computer Science Principles, and NJROTC 4 Honors along with it

2

Have you ever taken a physics class before? If no, then you should not take Physics C.

And you need an English course.

3

Also, calculus-based physics in college (that physics C emulates) is usually started after a semester of calculus (that calculus AB emulates).

As indicated above, if you’ve never taken a physics class (or if your goal is premed or business), take AP Physics1.
