<p>I want to take it next year, but have heard from some fellow 800-Math SAT scorers, that it's incredibly difficult. What do you guys think of it?</p>
<p>I think it's do-able.
My friend didnt even take Calculus but he still pulled off a 5.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's hard, but the curve is insanely good. A little above 60% right gives a 5. Still, it'll take some hard work, especially if you want a 5 in both mech and e&m.</p>
<p>I'm not so worried about the exam...I'm worried more about the class. Sure, a 60% is a relatively easy 5, but a 60% in my school is a D- (all grades in AP classes come from previous AP questions, and our school does not allow curving)</p>
<p>If you're good at math and have some sort of logic, you should be ok. As long as the teacher isn't a prick, it shouldn't be that hard. Lucky I have one of the coolest teachers or I'd actually have to work....</p>
<p>Its not that hard until you get into momements of inertia and angular momentum. Then theres all the electricity and magnetism of like rings, and hemholtzs coils, which really makes sure that you know calculus. My advice, get a vector calculus, linear algebra book and just read it over the summer. Even if you dont get a lot of it, Physics will make a hell of a lot more sense and youll look a lot better than those people who twist their hand all over.</p>
