<p>I'm taking (from what I know) AP Physics B next year. I really love physics and am pretty good at it, so I want to take C but my school doesn't offer it as a class so I would have to take it online or self-study. Do you guys think it's something you can learn on your own?</p>
<p>Well, I will have to self teach myself anyways. My school, the Physics C class is all self study. They just sit in the back of the class while the teacher teaches the Physics B students</p>
<p>If you’re doing well in Physics B, it’s not too hard to learn Physics C on your own (though it may be somewhat challenging). I self-studied Physics B last year and Physics C this year; four of my friends are in the same situation. I think 13 people are taking the E&M AP exam at our school this year, even though we don’t have a class for it, so that might serve as an indicator of how self-studyable it is.</p>
<p>Alright, but I’m going to be taking Physics B next year and attempt to self-study Physics C. Do you think that’s possible?</p>
<p>I’m. Dying. Right now. </p>

<p>Our teacher doesn’t do a good job of engraving the concepts into our heads though.</p>
<p>If you are taking calculus next year, then absolutely. Without calc, you will die so hard.</p>
<p>Self-study will likely be difficult but not impossible. I’m coasting in physics C right now, but it’s probably mostly because my teacher is amazing at getting us to understand physics. Good luck!</p>
<p>For a normal, hardworking student it’s HARD! Tons of work!!! But you say that you are good at Physics B. Then you should be fine if you maintain the intensity.
It’s the hardest course offered at my school anyway.</p>
<p>Of course the math and science prodigies will breeze through it.</p>
<p>I know of at least four people who are self-studying or have self-studied Physics C while taking a Physics B class. They’re doing pretty well, so it is possible.</p>
