What AP tests and SAT subject tests should I take?

<p>Hello! I wish to go to America for higher studies and major in physics. In order to major in physics, what are the tests you recommend I take? I made a list-
SAT subject tests-
Math level 1
Math level 2
Physics</p>

<p>AP Courses-
AP calculus AB
AP calculus BC
AP physics B
AP physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
AP Physics C: Mechanics</p>

<p>Are any of tests overlapping? I mean someone told me that if I give calculus BC I need not give calculus AB. Should I take all the tests I've mentioned above? Is there any subject test or AP exam apart from this that I should take?
Also, could you tell me how long it will take to study for each test? I just finished 10th. Will I be able to prepare for each test if I study for three hours everyday for two months. I know it is different for everyone but I just want an approximate idea so I can organize myself. Thank you!</p>

<p>P.S.- I'm pretty decent or well, good at both physics and maths, so I don't think I'll have to struggle too much with the concepts.</p>

<p>Read and figure it out on your own depending on the colleges you are interested in applying to.</p>

<p>Thank You!</p>

<p>Calculus BC also has an AB subscore, so it isn’t necessary to do both</p>

<p>Also, Physics B has the physics C topics in lesser depths with some more topics</p>

<p>You should either do both the Physics C tests or the Physic B one</p>
