Self-study AP Physics B or Physics C Mechanics?

<p>Which AP Physics would you guys recommend to self study for next year? And, is it even possible to get a 4 on one these without a class and without a ton of time spent?</p>

<p>It is possible to self study AP Physics B or C and get a 5. My question is, have to taken calculus or are you going to take calculus next year? If the answer is yes, then go right ahead and self study AP Physics C. I say study C because physics B is pretty useless. You can watch the MIT physics lectures for free on mit opencourseware or youtube. Actually right now I am self studing Electricity and Magentism using University Physics 12th edition and watch MIT lectures. You should buy a textbook, and learn from it. Many people have a problem with learning from a textbook, so read these tips: [Study</a> Hints for Physics, Engineering, & Mathematics](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com) </p>

<p>To learn best:

  • First Skim the chapter you’re going to start
    *watch the first couple of Lectures
    *Read the entire chapter WITHOUT going through the EXAMPLE Problems.
    *watch remaining lectures that correspond to the chapter you are reading.
    *REREAD the same chapter this is time going over the example problems. This should be your “THIRD PASS” of the chapter. </p>

<p>This done within a week or so if you include practice problems(per chapter, but work in a timely manner). Buying a student solutions manual isn’t a bad idea.</p>

<p>***NOTE: If you are not going to take Calculus (AP or not, it doesn’t matter) then stick AP Physics B, but I reccommend self studying Calculus to take Physics C (at the same time)</p>

<p>I hope this helps! :)</p>

<p>Thanks! I will be in AP Calculus AB next year, so if do choose to self study AP Physics, I will most likely choose Physics C.</p>
