<p>Hey, my school does not offer Physics B, only the calculus based C course. I have Calc. AB this year and will take BC next year. Is one year of calc enough to do well on the exam, assuming a competent teacher (always a problem, lol)???</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure that calc ab is enough. At my school, there's a class called Physics w/ Calculus which supposedly covers just about all of the physics c material, and only calc ab is the pre/co requisite for that class, so im pretty sure your fine.</p>
<p>all that calc is necessary is taught in the course. so far its just been derriving and integrating</p>
<p>At my school, students often take Physics C concurrently with Calculus AB or Calculus BC, and apparently they do well on the Physics exam.</p>
<p>Is the course conceptually difficult? I am currently in honors physics, in which the teacher's sole aim is to give the hardest problems possible, with not even a hint of the concepts on her tests.</p>
<p>AP Physics C is conceptually difficult. You cannot be successful in this course by memorizing. You must understand the concepts and think through every problem. Most problems will incorporate several concepts.</p>
