Self Study AP Physics B

<p>Can this be easily done? I am taking Honors Physics this year so I figure most of it will be supplementary anyways. I am looking at top engineering schools and feel weak because of of no AP Physics. I know the B test isn't as prestigous, but it would look better than naught.</p>

<p>It's not too difficult; there are only five or so topics beyond what you learn in H. Physics (at least at my school), and like almost all APs, the test has a huge curve, so you can get a five with only 60% right.</p>

<p>TOTALLY DO IT!! well, i'm glad to see another future engineer on the board. ;-) anyhoo, i took Physics B this may after honors physics. it is not that hard to self-study if you are taking physics simultaneously. i wouldn't worry too much about not having AP physics. as long as you are doing the best that you can do in math and science within the context of your school. does your school have a lot of requirements to get into AP physics? i know at my school you have to take AP Calculus simultaneously and have completed bio, chemistry and honors physics to get in. colleges will see that. AP Physics B is definitely a good way to go. you'll be fine. especially if you have a good physics class.</p>

<p>I think it can be done, as well. I'm also self-studying AP Physics B. I took a regular physics course last year so it shouldn't be hard with some prep and reviewing. </p>

<p>Remember though, you have to learn all the material by May. Your honors physics class will go slower since it has an extra two months to finish the curriculum.</p>
