<p>I have a few questions.
I have never taken Ap calc AB. I will be enrolling into AP CALC BC this year. My teacher has full confidence in me. Precalculus this year was a joke for me.
So I am wondering if I should really do AP Physics C: Mechanics. My school offers C:mechanics and B. I want to do Physics C so bad! I feel like I could manage it. Am I being immature here? should I really enrol in B? I've never taken any type of physics course at all..</p>
<p>I want to also enroll into environmental science. how much workload is this?</p>
<p>How should I study for the new AP Biology course? I'm not even sure if I should take it. The teacher is moving away due to pay cuts and we will have a new teacher...who i don't know.</p>
<p>My dad wants me to self-study CompSci but I have no desire to take it at all. My dad's a programmer for Dish network. I'm taking this online summer course but I haven't really learned anything, my dad does it all for me :(. I hate Java. really. Should I put in the time and effort? (please consider that I will be in 4 aps (calc bc, bio, environmental science, physics B/C) and I will be busy as student president and 2 varsity sports.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Lots of people go straight to calculus BC, or college freshman calculus, after completing precalculus. If you aced precalculus easily, then you should be fine doing that.</p>
<p>Physics C mechanics is like a one semester college course for physics and engineering majors. It uses calculus. Physics B is a non-calculus physics course that is occasionally accepted for biology majors. Since it looks like your school offers physics C at a slower than usual pace (a whole year for mechanics), you should be ok even without previous physics courses in high school. However, if you want a stronger version of a high school physics course covering a full range of introductory physics topics, then physics B should provide that.</p>
<p>For Environmental Science, every class is going to be different of course. Some politics (Acts, policies, etc.), earth science, a tiny bit of chemistry. I also felt my textbook wasn’t always thorough on some areas. I’ve also taken biology and chemistry AP before, so it felt as if a fourth of the class was review. The way I study Biology AP is reading, looking at diagrams, videos, memorization. But rather than memorization, think of it as learning about the world around you.</p>
