<p>I signed up for physics h7a, but I heard from a friend that it is very rare and dumb to do this as a freshman because it's crazy hard. </p>
<p>Can anyone shed some light on this (honor classes in general)? If I'm going to drop it back to regular physics, I should prob do it soon because classes are filling up.</p>
<p>…has your friend taken physics at all? Physics H7A is taken pretty much only by freshmen (though sophs and above are still welcome to take it).</p>
<p>Anyway, I would recommend doing it. The class is harder than regular 7A, but a higher proportion of the H7A class ends up with an A or B. And plus, you learn a lot more interesting stuff (from what I can tell…I only took regular 7A, but I did take H7B and found it to be a pretty good class). You could check out some old H7A exams to gauge their difficulty…just google physics h7a or something.</p>
<p>lol i looked at past exams for h7a… ha… it looks pretty advanced.</p>
<p>Do it only if you’re really into physics/you’re really good at it…otherwise I don’t see the point. The average grade is slightly higher than regular physics, but you would think the competition is tougher too.</p>
<p>Don’t phase 1 physics h7a, theres no way that class is going to fill up.</p>
<p>edit: Have taken physics in high school? If you feel you have a good handle on physics then you should consider taking H7A or take 7A with Boggs as his exams are pretty hard.</p>
<p>i already took this course at a CC, but forgot everything because it was junior year in hs </p>
<p>i read on ratemyprofessors that the prof curves very generously to make up for the course difficulty and it looks like half the class gets A/A+</p>

<p>You need to be:
<p>To take this course. If you aren’t both #1 and #2, don’t take it.</p>
