Should I challenge the AP Physics 1 exam? I have never taken a physics class, but I studied physics independently in order to take the subject test. I earned an 800 my first time. The subject test did not seem very challenging, but what I’ve heard from people, the AP test is much harder.
I do not want to put in much more effort since I’ve already read the entire textbook. I don’t want to spend much more than a week reviewing.
Is passing the AP physics test feasible considering my 800 on the subject test, but considering my lack of motivation to study new topics?
Why did you enroll in physics? If you are not motivated, why did you even enroll! I concerned about your reluctance to learn new things and read through the textbook once. I think you need to think about the the importance of test scores in physics to you. If you are indifferent, just take the test and be happy with any score you earn. Otherwise study for the test with the goal of doing well, whatever mark indicates successful performance to you. Then, think about the connection between motivation and the grades you hope to receive.
That’s not my question.
I love physics, I WANTED to enroll but could not due to schedule discrepancies. Therefore I checked out a physics textbook, and read it on my own.
I just don’t want to spend a TON of time learning a bunch of new concepts considering I’ve already taught myself so much. And I’m taking several other AP tests this year.
My real question:
What does an 800 on the subject test equate to on the AP Test?
go to college board, take a look at the past exam, I think there is also a “workbook” for past Physics multiple choice. Also get a barron book and you can see how much you know.
