<p>It has finally been approved for AP Physics C Mechanics to be an independent study at my school. I will credit for it and instead of a class, I will have a free hour to do so. I will get 3 credits for it, and if I want, I can AP Physics E and M and recieve 1.5 credits. Is mechanics a lot easier then E and M? How hard is E and M? I will be taking AP Physics AB at the same time and this will be my senior year (2011-2012). I got an A pretty easily in normal physics, and with an easy senior year (aside from AP Physics C mechanics and AP Calc AB) and was wondering if taking E and M would be a good idea. Also, is the class going to be really hard as an independent study? How does the class look to colleges? Thanks</p>
