<p>I was wondering how much of the C exam is actually Calculus? Also, how different is the material between B and C, in general. As in can I apply the knowledge from B to the material in C a lot, or are they radically different. I am going to be taking pre-calc honors next year along with AP Physics, but we'll most likely be focusing on the Physics B material. I was wondering if I would be able to self-study the Physics C material, or should I just do it Senior Year when I'll be taking AP Calc anyways?</p>
<p>Physics C required calculus, whereas Physics B only uses algebra/trigonometry. If you’re considering self-studying Physics C, then you’re not going to do well. So, in my recommendation, do it during Senior Year then.</p>
