<p>Okay, first, some background on me, trying to not make myself sound arrogant here. 
I’m a junior right now, taking 4 AP Classes (Calc AB, English Lang/Comp, Biology, US History), and I’m trying to plan out my schedule for next year.
My current classes next year are: AP Calc BC, AP Computer Science, AP Government, AP Physics C, AP Literature, Band, and JROTC.</p>
<p>The one I’m doubtful about is AP Physics C. Here where I live, there is no such thing as Honors Physics (shocking), only regular. So I just want to skip into AP Physics C. I’m doing really well in Calculus AB (I have a 95 right now), and I’ve never had lower than a 90 in any science class. Could I do it, even if it required a little extra self-studying on my own?</p>
<p>Thanks for your opinions. :D</p>
<p>Anyone out there that can help me? :O</p>
<p>Grr. I guess unless someone posts something, I’ll just have to figure this thing out myself.</p>
<p>Yes, you can. It’ll take a lot of effort, but it’s possible to ace AP Physics C without any prior physics knowledge, whatsoever.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll do it for sure then! :D</p>
<p>that’s what i’m doing right now…it’s a little hard at first but i’m getting used to the concept. you’re just moving at a faster pace. it’s going to also require a lot of self-studying. for me, at least.</p>
<p>^Same here.
I’m in AP Physics C without ever taking Physics OR Calculus. I’m concurrently in AB Calc, but AP Physics C has required some self-studying.</p>
<p>My daughter, currently a Physics major, took a course in AP physics without the pre-req of regents Physics (or, for that matter, calculus, or even pre-calc); she did fine. Like Puggly123, she had to do some work on her own.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your input on this. I was just wondering because the counselor told me I’d fail if I tried taking it without regular physics, and I really didn’t believe her, because she said the same about me skipping precalculus, so I wanted the input of others. :D</p>
<p>Yeah, at my school, people only take one physics course in high school, so if that’s AP Physics C, you’ll have had no prior physics knowledge (like me!).</p>
