AP Physics?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

I took an Algebra 2 course this year (I am a Freshman) so I could be ahead in math; my course had an extra trigonometry unit that my school doesn’t usually teach in Algebra 2. Since I took this course, should I take AP Physics? I really enjoy math and science, so I thought this would be right up my league…I guess. My schedule for next year is:

AP Gov
Honors Precalc
Honors English
German II
Honors Chemistry
Strength and Conditioning (alternates every other day)
Guitar I (alternates every other day)
Digital Communications
Business Computer Apps (dropping this class though)

Please tell me if I could handle this; I do know I want to take this class, and I am willing to do the work, no matter how hard it is…but is it smart?

I think you could handle AP Physics, but it depends on how much time you will devote to studying. If you have time consuming ECs then it might be different.
Work hard and you’ll be fine. Good luck!

Quite honestly, AP Physics 1 isn’t hard at all if you are taking Algebra II now. The trig component really helps, as I know it benefitted me when going over several topics. It only takes an average of 20 minutes a day of studying to grasp the material. Best of luck.
