<p>I am about to enter my senior year of high school and I was planning on taking both mv calc and ap physics C, but someone put them at the same period on the master sheet, and now I am forced to choose one or the other. I plan on becoming an engineer and was wondering which class you think would be most advantageous for me to take and whether or not one being ap should hold any sway.</p>
<p>P.S.- I have taken AP calc BC and got a 4 on the exam with a's in the class, and have taken AP physics B with all A's as well but a 2 on the exam</p>
<p>Also I found neither AP Calc BC or AP Physics B difficult when it came to learning the content</p>
<p>Take AP Physics C in high school, and take calc III at your local cc</p>
<p>Do you struggle with big exams (ie get anxiety)? Because if you plan on using the credit, you should have 5 on the exam, as they are typically easier than college course equivalents. Unless you feel those scores don’t represent your understanding well, I would be cautious about jumping ahead.</p>
<p>That being said, I would suggest you pass on physics until college. The B exam is a cakewalk in comparison to the C exam, so your score raises serious concerns. Furthermore, the lab experience you’ll get in college is very valuable. Even if you do labs in your HS course, it is unlikely they’ll match up to the rigor and frequency of college labs. Whereas with math as long ad you’re following a solid text, it doesn’t matter so much where you’re learning it. At least that’s been my experience after placing out of calc 1, 2, and physics 1.</p>
