<p>is it too late if i start studying them from now on? (or just one of them -_-;;)</p>
<p>ps : i'm a junior currently taking IB chem HL, physics SL and math HL</p>
<p>I self studied AP Chem, starting about January last year and got a 5. It does depend on your aptitude for the subject, and I don't know exactly how well IB prepares you for the AP since my HS didn't have IB, but I imagine it should be pretty similar.</p>
<p>It really depends on how well your course prepares you. My honors physics class is equivalent to an AP Physics B class so I would be well prepared for that test but would fail miserably on the C test. Also I'd think it would be a lot harder to self study physics and chem since a lot of it is concept based instead of simple memorization but I'm sure many have been successful w/ self-studying those tests.</p>
<p>ok. dont do physics now man. theres no way you will finish (with the information retained in your brain). calc is a possiblility though. depends on your background</p>
<p>I'd say you can self-study all of them.</p>
<p>You basically only need to know two things for calculus: how to derive and how to integrate.</p>
<p>You just need to memorize equations for physics...</p>
<p>Chemistry is probably the hardest out of those, but even that wouldn't be too hard. There's many little things that books leave out (at least my book--it might be unique in that aspect, though), but perhaps Barron's or w/e would cover those.</p>
<p>I'm in all three of these classes (AP) this year, but I haven't gone to school since November, so I'm essentially self-studying, and it's easy so far...</p>
<p>Chemistry is some memorization unfortunately. concepts are the best, so calc would be the easiest, i think. your 'math hl' class leaves me puzzled though. I don't know what level that is (I'm not familiar with IB), so maybe you wouldn't be able to do calc ab or bc. I have no idea about physics. But like I said, I think Calc AB is ridiculously easy (BC is sort of hard though), so I think you could effectively self-study for it.</p>
<p>Agreed with ^.</p>
<p>Physics c is difficult and does not just require you to "memorize equations" as iin77 said. However, I do not know about physics b. Perhaps this is what iin77 was referring to?. </p>
<p>Chemistry is not hard. No way. Indeed, it is very easy with simple equations and concepts. Frankly I am bored studying it. (I am self-studying it now). However, as said above, it requires quite a bit more of memorization than, say, physics c. </p>
<p>Calc BC is doable in this time, if you have a solid calculus background (i.e. already learnt and understood most of differentiation and its applications) I do not know about calc ab, but I would imagine that it is quite easy.</p>
