<p>I've tried asking this in the AP Test Prep section, and nobody replied. So here's what I asked...</p>
<p>First of all, I'm a senior.</p>
<p>I'm in an AP Physics B course, one of my 4 AP classes this year. I took AP Calculus AB and am taking AP Calculus BC. I'm wondering if I should self-study for the AP Physics C exams (yes, both). I'm interested in the natural sciences (in terms of what I'm thinking of studying at college), but I would possibly like the challenge of the physics you're tested on in the C exams. Also, it's not a joke how most who take AP Physics B don't even need to take General Physics at our school. Indeed, it kind of feels a bit simple, at least, now... Also, more universities seem to accept C credit than B credit (especially MIT)...</p>
<p>And I did take a general Physics course last year... which pretty much covered what I'm going to learn this year at a slower pace, maybe with some details cut out... some things simplified... Sure, I may have struggled in grasping the concepts of the electricity/magnetism parts, but I believe that I lacked the motivation to, considering the nature of the class (and classmates).</p>
<p>I also asked about the idea of self-studying for the AP Stat exam. It'd be more for a personal reason, but I can't really see practical reasons, seeing that not a lot of colleges accept AP Stat credit (I think half of the colleges I plan on applying to don't accept).</p>
