<p>Think of AP physics B as a good high school physics course. It will not give useful subject credit for a physics or engineering major, although it will be good preparation for university physics courses that typically recommend high school physics as a prerequisite.</p>
<p>If you complete calculus 1 in the summer and go on to calculus 2 in the fall (assuming that the university accepts the community college calculus 1 course for subject credit), you will shorten the long prerequisite sequence by one semester, giving you more schedule flexibility.</p>
