Summer Self Study AP Physics B?

Test Preparation AP Sciences
1

<p>Hi! I am currently a sophomore in high school and I'm finishing up the school year.</p>

<p>I'm pretty good at math, maintaining a year average of 97 in AP Calc AB. I had a bit of trouble this year in Chemistry Honors (not AP) and have a 90 year average in that class.</p>

<p>My summer will be about 14 weeks long. Do you guys think I'd be able to finish AP Physics B over the summer? If so, how much time do you think I would have to dedicate to Physics each day?</p>

<p>This will be my first time self-studying a subject. Any tips?</p>

<p>Definitely possible since you’ve finished CalcAB and have a lot of the foundational concepts down such as position/velocity/acceleration graphs.</p>

<p>A lot of people self study the months before the AP test, so studying in the summer is really a head start, so don’t over do it! Maybe like 1-2 hours a day max</p>

<p>It’s much better to self-study for AP Physics C (though harder); it’ll let you put your calc skills to good use.</p>

<p>No decent college will want Physics B if your intended major is heavy or semi-heavy on math. You should definitely go with Physics C instead.</p>
