<p>This summer I hope to teach myself physics and test out. Is this a good idea? I want to have more space in my schedule to take another AP science.</p>
<p>If this seems doable, then suggestions on what textbook I should use would be extremely helpful. I hope I posted this in the right section...</p>
<p>It depends what physics you’re testing out of. Are you testing out of regular high school physics, honors physics, AP physics B or AP physics C?</p>
<p>I recommend you take the physics AP exam (b or c depending on your studies) to demonstrate your knowledge in physics. IMO, “testing out” based on loose high school criteria doesn’t say much about your aptitude in the area.</p>
<p>Regular high school physics. My school has prerequisites for taking science classes. I took regular biology freshman year and I’m in general chemistry as a sophomore. I wanted to test out of regular physics so I could get out of the prerequisite for a future AP Physics class.</p>
<p>Idk if it’s a good or bad idea honesty (in relation to college apps) but just go to a used book store or Barnes and nobles and find a book you like and buy it for cheaper on eBay or amazon. Beginning concepts are pretty easy to understand (movement-air pressure so far), but I’m sure heat and water and electricity get tricky so I might seek some help with those subjects.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks.</p>
<p>I’m just not sure if doing this by myself will be too difficult…</p>
<p>did you like flapjack?</p>
