<p>I doubt that your son will be penalized because of what his schools offers for physics, but it could be a problem when he starts taking classes, but the SAT II score is pretty good, so I don’t think it would be a big deal.</p>
<p>And I also recommend the EPGY physics classes. I just took the Physics C sequence (P051 and P053), and I agree that they are pretty difficult, but I was able to take them and do well without someone to get help from besides the tutor that they provide. And it helps a lot if you have a strong math, and especially calculus (up to Calculus AB) background, since there’s a lot of math involved and it can get confusing.</p>
