<p>i took calc ab last year, and am self-studying BC this year as a junior.</p>
<p>would it be better for me to self study both Physics C's my junior year along with BC, or to take the two physics C tests my senior year with no calculus along side it ??</p>
<p>Either way works fine. You already have the basic calculus concepts down, so it doesn't matter. You don't have to take C alongside Calculus. How does the rest of your schedule for junior/ senior year look?</p>
<p>for my junior year, if my schedule is not messed up..i will be taking AP chemistry, stats, english lit, and gov't..and normal physics,bible (it is mandatory), and another elective class that i have not decided yet..</p>
<p>my school does not offer any AP physics...however, the knowledge of the physics class is apparantly equivalent to AP physics B, so i was going to take the test for physics B, but I am thinking of taking the C's instead...</p>
<p>for my senior year, i currently have no AP's to take at my school..(my school is relatively little)...i will probably take AP english language online...</p>
<p>I would take Physics B this year, maybe self-study BC if you have time, and leave Physics C to next year. You have Chemistry along with Physics... might be hard to put Physics C in there too.</p>
<p>Best that you get the basic physics stuff down first before you embark on the horror that is Physics C. Physics is a lot of formula memorizing, just to warn you first.</p>
<p>^^ What he just said. Of course it's possible, but Physics C has such a different learning base from B that you might just put your brain on overload... The topics are pretty much completely different.</p>
<p>could you do mechanics this year, and e&m next year? do you really need both?
or maybe take physics B, or even just a non-AP physics class this year to prepare yourself? do you have prior physics experience?</p>
<p>it's a lot of work, that class. and i just took mechanics. that was the equivalent of a year-long course on block schedule... i can't imagine having both shoved in the same time frame.</p>
