Veterans of AP Physics B... HELP!

<p>Hey, you people always have the best advice, so I’d like to ask a few questions about AP Physics B.</p>

<li>Is it ok to take AP Physics B in your junior year?</li>
<li>Is it ok to take AP Physics B with just Algebra II and intro to trig?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>haven't taken AP physics B yet, but i know the answers</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Yes</p></li>
<li><p>Yes, Physics B is non-calculus based. however, it might be advantageous to take it concurrently w/ pre-calculus (that's what i'm doing).</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I took physics B and got a 5 this year!!!</p>

<ol>
<li>I took it as a junior - so yes</li>
<li>Yes</li>
</ol>

<p>I took it and got a 5
1. Definitely (it's not difficult)
2. You're going to want to know trig and triangle geometry very well to coast through the class (basic trigonometric functions)</p>

<p>I'm taking it Junior year and I'll be taking Trig concurrently.</p>

<p>Is it possible to get 5 on AP Physics B if you have never taken physics in your school but study the prep book? That's my situation except I got 5 on Calc BC.</p>

<p>For #2 of original Q, I heard that Physics B is non-calculus so trig should be fine.. I know people in physics class who just finished geometry (and thus, not trig).</p>
