Independent Study AP Physics C?

<p>Hey CC! </p>

<p>So ... as you can tell from the title, I'm doing an independent study AP Physics C. I took a general physics course last year so I have a good handle on what Physics is. I did that whole kinetmatics, newton laws, what not all the way up to things like elliptical rotation of planets. of course, the general physics class didn't use calculus, but i took calculus AB, and the calculus doesn't seem too daunting in AP Physics C. </p>

<p>Now, for you veteran AP Physics C students out there, what do you guys have for reccomendation that I do? I have a AP Physics C review book by PR, and I've got some other small textbooks, more for more advance physics classes, but nothing too indepth with the physics. It is primarily for the IB curriculum, not AP. Any suggestions for what I should do for the school year? Anybody else who self-studied the exam have any suggestions? Please let me know! It'd be great. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Well, the mechanics exam really uses simple calculus that would be really easy for you to learn, and you will most definitely learn it (e.g. v=dx/dt, a = dv/dt, F = dp/dt, etc.) in the IB curriculum. E&M might get a little complicated with the calculus but IB should prepare you. You should go on the collegeboard site and look at the exact course topics.</p>

<p>Any other AP Physics C independent study/self-study students got any tips? I’d like to really know!</p>

<p>Actually I hear Barron’s Physics C is better than PR. </p>

<p>Since you are self-studying I suppose you got the time to use the Barron’s too.</p>

<p>Edit: I don’t recall even IB Physics Hl requires Calculus.</p>
