AP Physics Exams

<p>I'm taking honors physics, and I want to go into Engineering.
My school does not offer AP physics.</p>

<p>The principal says if I pass the Physics B exam, he will give me AP credit for my honors class.
I plan to take the Physics C exam next year. </p>

<p>What do you suggest, should I take the Physics B exam?
Will I be prepared with just and honors class? How much time does it take to prepare for it?
Are there labs that are required for Physics B (or C for that matter)?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Hm, I’m pretty sure the Physics B and Physics C Mechanics exams start at the same time, so I don’t think you’d be able to do that.</p>

<p>However, Physics C is preferred over B for engineering, so I’d go with that (and only that).</p>

<p>There are lab-related questions on the exams, but I don’t think labs are required, per se.</p>

<p>no no no, aha. I’m saying I’m taking the Physics C exam NEXT year. I’m completely unprepared for Physics C.</p>

<p>I’m saying, should i bother studying for the B exam when I’ll be taking Physics C next year, senior year?</p>

<p>The only advantage of taking AP Physics B is getting +.5 GPA for that subject. I already have three other APs to study for. (Two which I have classes for)</p>

<p>Ohh. Lol, okay. That makes sense.</p>

<p>If you think you can handle the stress of studying for the B exam (and it takes a good amount of effort to memorize and apply those formulae correctly), then you should take it. It would also be a good idea to have the stable foundation in physics the B exam would give you. It would make studying for the C exam a bit easier.</p>

<p>I recommend borrowing a prep book from the library and scanning the topics covered to see if you are familiar with them. If so, then you can choose whether to take it or not.</p>

<p>Sounds good, thanks for the suggestion. I have a prep book actually, my teacher gave it to me. Have you taken the B exam?</p>

<p>Do you need labs?
Was it hard?</p>

<p>Hey guys, I have some questions.</p>

<p>Do you believe I can adequately study for this test (get a 4 or 5) with just the Princeton Review prep book?</p>

<p>If not, what other resources would i need?</p>

<p>Is it bad that i don’t have labs? How crucial is this?</p>

<p>Lastly, how hard did you think the exam was?</p>

<p>I don’t think so, I would say get a textbook.</p>

<p>I know that half the stuff my class has covered isn’t in the review book, but I think that’s because my class is crazy.</p>

<p>bump! please answer :X</p>

<p>comeee onnn</p>

<p>how should i study for the exam???</p>
