Physics I -> AP Physics I or AP Physics C?

I’m currently taking Physics I (Conceptual Physics) at my high school. I plan on majoring in engineering and I want to take AP Physics C in the future. Pre-requisite wise, all my school has stated for AP Physics C is that I need a B+ in Physics I (which I have met). My question is, should I take AP Physics I before AP Physics C?

No, AP Physics 1 will not help with Physics C, since physics C is calc based. AP physics 1 is also meant to be taken with no physics background and will be redundant. Take physics C.

As state above, for engineering future majors, Physics C will be of more value.

Which Physics C class are you taking? Do you know?

Thanks guys! My school offers both Mechanics and E & M in the same course.
