<p>I'm planning on taking Physics I spring semester of freshman year, and Physics II fall semester of sophomore year. Besides trying to retain the information throughout summer, are there any significant downsides to this?</p>
<p>Depends how strong you are in physics. If they offered it over the summer, I’d take the next course up. Shouldn’t be too bad. Just review a couple weeks before the semester starts and you’ll be fine, most likely. If you’re not a physics god like Bohr, just take them in a row.</p>
