<p>My S, who was a straight A kid from elementary through high school, got his very first B in AP Physics B as a junior. Actually, it was a B- that he ended the year with. He took the AP exam just for the h-ll of it and I think got a 1 or 2, yikes! By comparison, he had numerous other AP’s that he got 4’s and 5’s on. He still made the AP with Distinction Scholar, and just had the Physics one not count. He had a very high GPA and still did after this class because everything else were A’s or A+'s. He did not take AP Physics C as a senior, just Calc and Stat.</p>
<p>It’s the hardest AP class in our school, well Physics B and Physics C. The kids who took Physics C were the Math & Science kids who wanted to major in it in college.</p>
