<p>SO I am a Junior and this year I have no idea what to take... </p>
<p>Should I take...</p>
<p>Honors Physics
AP Physics B
AP Calculus AB
AP Statistics
Latin 2
Latin 3
British Literature
World History </p>
<p>or </p>
<p>AP Physics C: Mechanical
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
AP Calculus AB
AP Statistics
Latin 2
Latin 3
British Literature
World History </p>
<p>And possibly self-study:
AP Environmental Science
AP European History </p>
<p>Please Help!!!</p>
<p>Opt for Physics C if you are a strong math student. While the calculus in Physics C is basic, it may be difficult for you to follow if you can’t understand and are unable to integrate and differentiate rather basic functions. The amount of “understanding-science-concept” skill you need is about equal in both B and C; it’s really up to how good and confident you are at math.</p>
<p>Thanks this gives me something to consider!</p>
<p>Is Calc BC available at your school? Because In my experience with Physics C the students who were concurrently taking Calc BC or had taken it the previous year had a much easier time than the AB students. At my school you go immediately from pre-calc into either AB or BC, so BC essentially covers twice the material that AB does.</p>
<p>As an alternative, you can start learning the calc material now so you’ll be ready for Physics C and you’ll be more comfortable than the other calc students in your AB class.</p>
<p>^True. As far as I’ve heard, all you need to do is to be able to differentiate and integrate sine, cosine, and polynomials (along with the occasional e^x and ln x).</p>
<p>Thank You so much, this really helps!</p>
