<p>Hi, I'm a rising junior and I'll be taking Calc BC. I heard Calc BC and Physics C pair up well with each other, and at our school they are "co-requisites". However, if I took AP physics C during my senior year after I have taken BC, would that cut off some slack for me?</p>
<p>I did just that and it was still hard for me but that's because I slacked off on certain chapters. The first 2 chapters on kinematics and motion are really easy because it's just applying calculus in common sense ways. The chapters afterwards get a lot trickier though. When you see the answers on how to solve the problems, they seem pretty intuitive but if you don't practice enough, your mind will just be blank during tests. That's because there are lots of new formulas and concepts that get introduced that you won't know how to apply all the different ways until you actually solve problem sets.</p>
<p>Still, I think taking physics C after Calc BC is probably easier than taking it at the same time.</p>
<p>Wrong sectionnnn try posting in the AP prep section, they care more about this stuff there.</p>
<p>Well, considering you do need calc for AP Physics, I think it would work to your advantage if you already took calc as opposed to taking calc and AP Physics concurrently.</p>
<p>Most, if not all of the calculus you need for AP Physics can be learned in calc AB</p>
<p>AP Physics will be easy for you if you've:
a)already taken a previous Physics course, and
b)if you've taken any Calculus.</p>
<p>Wait, did you already take AB and now considering taking BC? If that's the case, definitely take AP Physics your junior year.</p>
