<p>This is not even AP but hes trying to make like college level. My 1st semester grade was a B-, I was lucky enough he gave our class a huge grade curve scale. HW is off the book, but awfully difficult that i look them up on sites for help. I simply dont get his tests I get Cs but I always feel I would recieve a D. I already have 4 years of science (bio, ap bio, chem, anotomy). Im worried this class could jepordize due to strenuous HW time. I could barely struggle AP english for a B- and Im done with ap macEcon now going to AP govt, which i heard from others that his quiz/tests are hard (ie: do or die quizes). Right now this new unit made me brain dead and test is tues. I was able to maintain a 3.8 GPA. Should I drop or getting a C or B is ok to turn in last semester grades for college. Im a senior btw planning to major biochem...would there be in physics involemed?</p>
<p>physics is essential. no drop. good luck.</p>
<p>what UC's did you apply to?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, most science programs require some physics, most that D has looked at require a year of a physics series. Try to tough it out. B- is OK, just try to maintain your GPA and don't get D's and F's. You look like your a smart person and maybe the toughness of this year will prepare you for college work. Good luck.</p>
<p>:( I was stuck in the same situation. My physics class wasn't even AP and it was caught like a graduate level class!</p>
<p>My brother who is in college (WPI and a Physics major!) said the stuff is definately graduate level. It took him a quite to do one problem and he got A's in all of his physics classes.</p>
<p>Physics is a requirement so I say you just grind it out.</p>
<p>Physics is a requirement? I'm currently a junior and have not took it, I'm debating on whether to take Ap Chemistry or Physics.</p>
<p>you need to go see your counselor and get her/him to contact UC admissions to see what effect it will have. The problem is when you turned in your app you listed the courses you are planning on taking. Now you need to take them; if they see from your final transcript you didn't take everything you promised then they can revoke your admission. Their decision was based on what they saw as the rigor of your classes. The ironic thing is that if you've completed the A-G requirements w/o physics you were at least eligible to apply (although w/o the physics class they may have decided against accepting you).</p>
<p>So you need to work with your counselor and see [ul][<em>]if you meet the A-G requirements w/o physics [</em>]if UC is likely to change its mind if you inform you that you're dropping the class (assuming you were getting admitted before) [/ul]One other piece of advice -- if you find physics at the intro college level challenging and it isn't due to a poor teacher, then you might want to revisit majoring in a science. It will be tough slogging. Just out of curiosity, how many hours a week are you spending on this class doing homework and studying?</p>
