Struggling in AP Physics B

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Im a Sophomore, and this is my first year of High School because our district has a Junior High/Senior High program.</p>

<p>I took AP Phys B because my cousin told me the math behind it was just algebra, and if you knew the concepts it would be easy.</p>

<p>Im a couple weeks into it now, and I've gotten a B and a C- on my past two tests.</p>

<p>Are there any tips you guys could give me? Im on circular motion right now, and I cant solve a complicated problem without a little help. I really hope to get an A in this class.</p>

<p>Eh, hate to say it, but Physics is just one of those things that people either get or don’t. What are you specifically struggling with?</p>

<p>Specifically, I’m having trouble seeing connections. We’re getting into Circular motion and the questions just stump me, as I dont know how to turn what i have into what they are looking for.</p>

<p>Always start with Newton’s Second Law. Also break down the problem into horizontal and vertical components.</p>

<p>Alright, haha. Do you also have any other study tips? any general tips?</p>
