Thoughts on Switching Physics 7A to 7B?

<p>Hello! </p>

<p>I got a 5 on Physics C Mechanics (it surprised me), so now I have the option of using AP credit to get out of Physics 7A. As a BioE major, is this a good idea? </p>

<p>The 7B sections remaining have 8am lecture/lab/discussion. Is that tradeoff worth getting a semester ahead for Physics? </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Here are some old Physics 7A exams:</p>

<p>You may want to try them to decide whether you should skip Physics 7A based on your AP credit.</p>

<p>If you’re interested in the biomechanics side of BioE, then perhaps you should take 7A to brush up on your fundamentals. But otherwise, take your reward for getting 5 on your Mechanics exam.</p>
