<p>How hard is it in general in comparison to other AP classes?
Is it strongly related to math or just theory and information to memorize?
Lots of formulas?</p>
<p>THANKS FOR THE REPLIES!</p>
<p>have you taken a physics class before? If physics seems very intuitive to you it shouldn't be too difficult. If you're the kind of person who likes to just blindly plug numbers into formulas, some of the free response questions may be very challenging for you to see through. It's hard to compare it to other AP classes because it may be easy for some people and hard for others. You should be the one who can best tell how comfortable you are with math/science classes. </p>
<p>If you want a quick sample try using this</a> physics site and taking a lesson. See how comfortable you are working the problems and then decide if it's the class for you.</p>
<p>thanks alot.</p>
<p>yeah I was wondering how hard it would be cuz, i was gonna take that instead of AP chemistry this year.</p>
<p>At my school, AP Physics can be taken as a 1st year to Physics course. You can learn just over 70% of the material but still get a 5.</p>
<p>The curve is really good so you just need to try and hit as much of the material as you can -- check the breakdown of the topics.</p>
<p>My AP Physics class was one of the hardest classes in school. My teacher (an engineer himself) makes his own test using hypothetical situations.</p>
<p>It is more related to theory. If you understand the theory you can derive SOME of the formulas out yourself. Lots of formulas to memorize. I remember spending the last 30 minutes before the AP exam cramming 2 pages worth of formulas because the formula chart is not provided on the multiple choice part.</p>
