<p>is it best to take the BC for physics and Calculus because it is basically two tests in one (with the subscore), so you even if you are not brilliant at the extra stuff, you get a subscore for the AB (which isn't harder? or is it?) and a chance at the extra stuff? Thanks!</p>
<p>I have no idea what you're saying, but BC and Physics are totally 2 different things. BC is a higher Calculus level than AB, and Physics C IS Physics B but involve Calculus.
Hope that helps</p>
<p>oh, i meant that is it best to take it at higher levels since it includes the lower levels...however, that schools don't usually make a distinction in physics right?? then is B safer?</p>
<p>The physics C test, the two practice multiple choice released ones that I took today seemed easier than the multiple choice B questions my teacher puts on the tests. B = everything physics, except relativity. C = mechanics + electricity + simple harmonic motion.</p>
<p>I was wondering something similar to this as well. I'm a junior this year taking Calculus AB, so next year I'll take BC. What I want to know is if I should pay for two AP exams and take both AB and BC by the end of high school, or if I should skip the AB this year and wait to take the BC exam senior, year since it includes the AB subscore. So it's like taking both exams at the same time. Two birds with one stone. It would be kind of a waste to take both, assuming that I would make the same score on the AB and AB subscore. Any fallacy in that logic?</p>
<p>Do Calc AB and Physics B, why stress out over nothing?</p>
