<p>Physics at my school is usually saved for senior year. I'll be a Junior next year and meet the pre-requisites for the class and the department head says I can take it if I really want. I'll also be taking Adv.Chem next year.I haven't taken a Physics class yet so I have no idea if I'll enjoy it or not. I want to get Physics done some point before I graduate but also want more flexibility for classes senior year. </p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>I thought it was easy. A lot of it made intuitive sense to me.</p>
<p>it was hard. </p>
<p>worst mistake I’ve ever made in my life, listening to a friend who finished AP Calc B a year early… </p>
<p>then again. this is coming from a person who, admits, doesn’t try hard at math. (found out that i wasn’t incapable of math, just simply didn’t try hard enough…)</p>
<p>oh, why don’t you pre-review the topics covered during the summer? ;)</p>
<p>Ask people who have already taken the class with that teacher. Classes vary.</p>
<p>It really seems to depend on the teacher, so ask around to see if your school’s AP Physics is any good. My teacher was awful beyond compare, and, since I took the class junior year, I’m stuck with the blemish of what is likely to be a 3 (MAYbe a 4) on the AP Physics B exam when I apply to college.</p>
<p>Taking physics junior year does give you a lot of flexibility in your senior schedule, though; I’ll give it that much.</p>
<p>I had a ■■■■■■■■ teacher who made the class horrible and a waste of time. However, I don’t think its too hard. Once you get the concepts, it is a breeze, especially because there isnt much to memorize. the curve is really generous, also</p>
<p>I heard the free response this year was really hard.</p>
<p>College apps are based on Junior year classes and grades. Pulling rigorous classes forward helps - if your grades are good. </p>
<p>Does your school hand out As or does grade deflation rule? And what is the teacher like?</p>
<p>My friend who advised me in my physics selection was taking Physics C. He said Physics B is just self-harm, Physics C is suicide. Yeah, so he thought it was hard, and he was a pretty smart guy. I decided, following his advice, to take Physics B, which I will start in August, my senior year.</p>
<p>People at my school say that Physics B is super easy.</p>
<p>But everyone has already taken honors physics.</p>
<p>lol it’s hard if you self study and haven’t taken a physics class in your life before!</p>
<p>Thanks for your responses. I’ll probably ask around tomorrow and see if I can find anyone who has taken the class/the teacher who teaches it. To answer your question toadstool my school inflates grades ALOT.</p>
