Is it OK not to take an honors physics class before taking an AP physics?

<p>92 is an A, and should be considered 4.0</p>

<p>Also, Physics B starts out assuming you know nothing (atleast thats what I’m doing).</p>

<p>^I was just saying that in some school’s a “92” could be an A-, a B, or even a B- and would not be considered a desirable grade. However, I think 92 is a good percentage.</p>

<p>Nah man I just went straight to physic B ap, my teacher only taught us 60% of the material (Pain in the butt), and I learned about 20% more of it on my own and got a 4 on the test. The test isnt hard if your good at at a lil more logic thinking. Go for it because, ap physics b really expands the way u think and challenges you, in a good way. :)</p>

<p>I did Calc BC and Physics C last year without taking a prior physics class, and it wasn’t bad, but I also had some really good teachers</p>

<p>I’m in AP Physics C with no prior physics knowledge whatsoever. So far it’s really not that difficult. I’ve flipped through everything we have to cover for the Mechanics test and really, it’s not much and doesn’t look too hard.</p>

<p>^Its not hard for now…man your taking Physics C with no background in physics? that, i would advise against. good luck with that puggly123.</p>

<p>Almost two year old thread…</p>

<p>@theRADtomato47- It’s a full-year Mechanics class. We will not be covering E & M as well, which will make things significantly easier. I think I’ll be fine.</p>

<p>I self-studied the two Physics C courses last year without lower-level physics preparation and received the highest distinction on each of the two May exams. However, I have always been a bit of an autodidact with regard to mathematics, which greatly aided my conceptual apprehension from a more methodical and analytical standpoint. With a robust mathematics background and an inherent interest in the subject matter, one should not be too considerably overwhelmed with introductory physics.</p>
