<p>I am taking Honors Physics at my school this year. Most people taking this class are in Pre-Calc and I am going into Calc II, so i figured self-studying both parts of Physics C would be a good idea. I was just curious on how much study time it would take and what materials I would need.</p>
<p>I was planning on getting a textbook (because I actually want to learn it) and a review book, so any reccomendations would be appreciated. I currently have 3 hours and 40 minutes set aside per week starting at the end of august. Is that enough?</p>

<p>That should be plenty. What I’m recommending you do is probably, starting now, learn two or three sections per week, and spend at least an hour doing problems over each section. After you finish a chapter, spend a week reviewing it and test yourself. This is kinda like a traditional class-type setting only without the classroom. </p>
<p>Knowing at least differential and integral calculus is more than enough for the exam. When self-studying, you might want to know what will be tested on the exam and what will not. That way, you can prioritize what you need to learn. When you have time, add in some extra sections, it won’t hurt. Spend at least until the end of the year on Mechanics, then move on to E&M, reviewing Mechanics from time to time (at least once a week).</p>
<p>Note: this is only a suggestion. I didn’t do any of this. I was in Physics B (I was in Honors Physics for only the second semester before that, and we didn’t learn anything there). I self-studied Physics C mainly because I was intrested in it, I needed the credits from it, and my school didn’t offer it. I mainly taught myself the material from E&M, like a topic a week, but then I had to pick up the pace, and taught myself the rest, and some topics in Mechanics, during the 2-3 weeks before the exam</p>
