My school won't offer AP Physics C... what should I do?

<p>I took AP Physics B as a junior but didn't take the AP test because I was planning on taking the AP Physics C test the following year. (My teacher informed me that AP Physics B and C alternate, and that is why I was in B instead of C.) I was expecting to be placed in C... but unfortunately this was not the case. </p>

<p>What should I do? I'm planning on majoring in Electrical Engineering/ Computer Science and I really wanted to take AP Phys C this year.</p>

<p>My classes(right now) are as follows:</p>

<p>AP Chem
AP Lit
Linear Algebra (college class)
Political Science (college class)
AP Art History (was supposed to be AP Physics but...)</p>

<p>Are these weak classes? Is it bad that I didn't take the AP Physics B test and now am not continuing on to taking Physics C? I'm nervous about how this will look on my college applications!</p>

<p>Is there any way I can take Physics C online (through an accredited institution) that will be looked upon favorably by the colleges I'm applying to?</p>

<p>Any information regarding what I should do would really help me out! Thank you!</p>

<p>(my counselor is no help, by the way.)</p>

<p>self study it (you need phys C for engineering)</p>

<p>I do not see why you did not take the physics B test even if it is not a part of pre major.</p>

<p>Thought it would be pointless if I was going to take the AP Physics C test.</p>

<p>Physics B covers some areas that Physics C doesn’t like waves and light I believe, so it wouldn’t be a waste even if you took all three exams</p>

<p>Currently, your schedule looks fine, if you want to, you can/should self-study Physics C</p>

<p>Take it online (but if you want credit, you need to talk to your counselor).
Standford and VHS both offer it.</p>
