Physics B versus Physics C

<p>Don’t self study Physics C’s if you are not a math genius. 4 on AB calc means you are not. </p>

<p>Physics B… fine. But can’t you pick an easier class? :(</p>

<p>@ BindersOpen: I’m going to be a humanities major. I have stats that are competitive at top-tier schools.</p>

<p>@ RAlec114: Admittedly, I’m not a ‘math genius’, but I didn’t think you had to be one in order to succeed at Physics C… and why would Physics B be too hard if I’m already studying for the SAT II Physics? I thought there was considerable overlap.</p>

<p>AP Physics is devilishly hard. Physics is something where the people who are good at math and the people who are natural geniuses are separated.</p>

<p><em>feels nervous</em> Does that go for both B and C? :p</p>

<p>Mostly C. If you try hard you could succeed in B, it’s of course feasible. Physics C would just be like “why are you self studying the hardest AP class.” Of course if you follow that logic, then you should ask yourself “why am I self studying physics at all.”</p>

<p>But if its imperative that you must do so, then do Physics B. +SATII Physics is based on Physics B not C.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks. :slight_smile: B it is then.</p>
