<p>i didn't want to double on ap chem and ap physics, and rather than jumping into ap physics so i am taking ap chem and regular physics and then proceed to physics c. I know there is a HUGE difference in an on level and AP, but i hear mixed views about this, from "dont do it your gonna fail" to "you can do it, but the only difference is that the math is much harder". What should i do?(I am a junior in Calc BC, and i would have been finished with calc by senior year)?</p>
<p>The thing about Physics is you don’t need to have any prior knowledge except for math. Knowing Calculus before going in is a huge advantage, and the fact that you’re getting some experience in regular Physics will help you even more.</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with that doing that. At my school you don’t even need to have taken physics before taking C. You’ll know calculus so there’s no problem. :)</p>

<p>I took Physics B junior year and I’m in Physics C this year, and it’s been fairly easy so far. Granted, we’re still only on forces, but still.
I love Physics C. I wish we used unit vector notation in Physics B.</p>
