<p>Hey guys, I got my likely letter about two weeks ago, and Fu is currently my top choice, which likely won't change regardless of decisions from other schools. But my question is, should I bother taking the Physics C exam? I'm currently taking a Physics 201/202 course at school, but I'm not sure I'll have the motivation come may to study for such a test, and I heard that even if you do pull 5's on both, the course you get placed in is insanely hard. What do you guys think? Oh, and are the AP credit/placement guidelines anywhere on the internet for SEAS? I know there's one for general studies, but apparently the page for SEAS doesn't exist anymore.</p>
<p>The question you need to ask yourself here is "why not". Other than the hours youd spent taking the test (and possibly preparing), you have no other costs. That said, if you get a 5 on it, youd be eligible to take the 2800 course physics classes. Yeah, these are pretty difficult courses by most standards, but if you do the work the curve will help you along. Honestly, i saw no real benefit to taking the 2800 track, since i have no particular love of physics and my schedule is open enough to where i dont need to free up slots with 2800 physics. But if you are really good at physics and enjoy the subject, might find yourself wanting those AP credits. Search the page below for the AP credit chart.</p>
