<p>i plan to take ap physics b and ap physics c simultaneously next year; however, from what i've heard, physics c is just physics b plus calculus. thus, would taking both courses be redundant? should i drop physics b?</p>
<p>thanks for any responses!</p>
<p>If both courses are offered at your school, why don’t you ask the teachers about this? They would be the best ones to advise you on your choice of classes.</p>
<p>The thing is…physics b is online, so none of my teachers know anything about it…</p>
<p>I don’t see the point in taking Physics B as well.</p>
<p>AP Physics B is of low value when it comes to subject credit at a university. If you are taking AP Physics C, there is no point in taking AP Physics B simultaneously.</p>
<p>so it is true that physics c is the same thing as physics b, just with calculus added?</p>
<p>Bump bump bump</p>
<p>If you know calculus, take physics with calculus since you will understand the concepts better and you will be more likely to get useful subject credit for it.</p>
<p>If you successfully do AP Physics C, you generally won’t get any more credit for AP Physics B in addition.</p>
<p>I don’t see the point of taking both. Just take AP Physics C. You still may be able to take both AP exams.</p>
