<p>I have taken physics in my freshman year, my plan was to take AP physics B as a sophomore. But my teacher just sent me an e-mail indicating that I am eligible to take AP physics C. Since AP physics C is not offered in our school every year and physics is what I want to major in in the college, I think this will be a really good chance. Will it be really hard to take AP physics C without taking physics B?? (I will also be taking AP Calculus and AP Stats)</p>
<p>I haven’t taken Physics C yet and won’t, but Physics C does go concurrently with Calculus so there’s really no point in taking Physics B because most colleges I heard do not even accept Physics B, the reason being is that Physics B is only algebra-based. Just take Physics C :)</p>
<p>I agree with the post above. Physics C will most likely give you college credit, and it is seen as being more challenging than Physics B. Since the class it isn’t offered every year at your school (as you mentioned in your post), I think you should definitely take the course.</p>
<p>Personally, I took Physics C (Mechanics only) this past year with no previous physics experience, and I still did decently well on the AP exam and in the class. It’s really all about how hard you work and whether you’re good at applying the concepts that you learn.</p>
<p>Well if you have experience with the topics in physics, as you have, it shouldn’t be too bad. The big thing is that you have to know how to do some calculations with calculus. The concepts don’t change too much though.</p>
