<p>do colleges prefer one over the other?
I know C is calculus based, but if u know calculus, is still a lot harder?</p>
<p>C is also split among two exams Mech and Electricity/Magnetism.</p>
<p>B contains topics like optics, nuclear physics, and thermodynamics which neither of the C exams covers (to my knowledge).</p>
<p>You shouldn't take C without taking B or another good physics course first.</p>
<p>They'll prefer the harder one, though, as usual...</p>
<p>Physics C is far more rigorous than Physics B. Physics B is like an overview course. In my Physics C class we have gone far more in depth.</p>
<p>Most colleges accept credit for both Physics B and Physics C. You should take Physics C if you're planning to major in math, chemistry, physics, or engineering. Otherwise, Physics B should be fine. Physics C is a lot harder than Physics B, even if you know calculus.</p>
<p>thanks,</p>
<p>do admission officers look much more favorably upon C?</p>
<p>is it kinda like a Calc AB Versus BC thing?</p>
<p>yeah except physics C is supposed to be much much harder than B</p>
