I’m currently self studying for ap physics C and calculus BC. I feel semi prepared for both the physics mech and EM tests, but there are obviously still gaps. There are about two months until AP tests and I’m struggling with balancing studying both along with my junior year courseload.
Should I:
Spend the next month entirely focused on a single subject and then the next focused on the other
or
Force myself to balance both
I probably wasn’t very clear. I’m referring to both the physics C tests as a single entity and calculus bc as the “other” test.
What does “future you” say?
Would you rather you had studied both and gotten credit so you had a little more flexibility in college?
You are self studying for both exams, correct? You are not taking either class?
If that is correct, you should probably take a look at the AP policies of the colleges you want to apply to next year. Most colleges won’t be impressed that you self studied. In fact, some colleges will only give you credit if you took the class along with the exam. State schools tend to have the most lenient policies, but you should do the research anyway, just to be sure. Every college may be different, but I think once you take a closer look in terms of the colleges you want to attend, you’ll have a good idea what would be best for you.
I didn’t notice you were self-studying…Why are you doing this to yourself?
Spend your time on your regular classes and ECs. You will have time in HS and college to take these courses.
College will want you to have taken the lab for physics.
