<p>I'm currently a junior and I'm taking AP Calculus BC as a senior. As far as other science courses go I'm taking AP Chemistry and do relatively well in it, and am planning on taking AP Bio and APES next year. Although science is my favorite subject and I do reasonably well in science classes, I have no prior experience with physics. I've heard that B is useless and that C is more relevant if I were to decide to become an engineer someday. Would this pose as a problem for me, or am I good to go? I can compensate by reading up on the basics over the summer, but would that be enough?</p>
<p>Yay. If you’ve taken physics already then there is no need to take B. I’m taking Calc BC next year, too and was considering C but I haven’t taken physics yet. Some simple knowledge of calculus is needed but it’s nothing you can’t pick up in a week or two. Go for C!</p>
<p>By no prior experience I mean no Physics classes taken, but I can learn the fundamentals of it during the summer.</p>
<p>3 Science AP classes during sr year? Isn’t that a bit much? If you wanna do 3 then yeah, go ahead and take Physics C. A lot of people go from taking AP Chem to Physics C at my school and do fairly well.</p>
<p>Oh…you said no prior experience of physics…you might be able to brush up on physics but you could easily take physics online over the summer</p>
<p>Sorry I thought I sent that post a while ago…guess not :S</p>
<p>At my school it’s a requirement to take a physics class before you take c, and I think it’s definitely easier if you’ve taken one before, but you could probably pull it off with a bit of hard work :)</p>
