<p>I am a junior right now, and although I am still not quite sure yet, I am interested in studying physics. My school doesn't offer any of the AP physics courses. Therefore I decide to self-study for the AP physics exam as I want to have something that can actually prove my capability in this area. </p>
<p>At first, I decide to take the physics B exam simply because I know basically nothing about calculus (I am still in pre-calculus this year). But as I read more about the AP physics courses, I found out that the physics B is more for those who are willing to major in things like biology, health science or whatsoever; whereas the physics C are actually the ones for "real" physics people. And it seem to me that many schools considered the physics B as just "nothing". So now, I am kind of doubt that whether the physics B exam really worth to take? I don't want to waste my money and my time to take something that no one even care.</p>
<p>But in the other side, I am kind of worry of how difficult the physics C will be for people without a formal calculus background, and in what depth of calculus I need to know for the course. I am not saying that I can't handle the math, but I just feel I don't have that kind of time to spend another three months to learn everything from nothing.</p>
<p>Anyway, thanks for reading all these blah. I need to make my decision quick.</p>
