AP Physics B, Prerequisites?

<p>OK, I want to know if I am prepared to take AP Physics B without taking Physics Honors first. I'll be taking the class junior year and I'll be in Pre-Calc Honors by then. Math isn't my best subject, but I still do fine. IS Pre-calc enough? Thanks!</p>

<p>Just know your Trigonometry.</p>

<p>I’ve never taken trig. All I know is Sin, Cos, and Tag</p>

<p>I think that’s sufficient for Physics B.</p>

<p>ok, the teacher is nice and smart, but he can’t teach and Im worried about that. Do you think that if I just do the work and study i’ll be fine? Is physics more of memorization or thinking?</p>

<p>Physics in general is more thinking than memorizing.</p>

<p>AP Physics is different–especially for FRQs. The questions that are asked are very similar from year to year. For this year’s exam, I had done previous FRQs that were pretty much the same thing, just with different numbers in a similar (but slightly different) situation. So, if you work hard, you’ll do just fine.</p>

<p>agree with jerry here
know you trig (application)</p>

<p>most of my ap physics b class this year took honors pre-calc at the same time. it was their first time taking physics. when we took a mock ap exam in april as our final exam, our average was a 4. so if our class is any indication, i think you’re good to go.</p>
