<p>Ok well I wanted to do either of these schedules as a senior (they have to be either or, no switching classes around) Which should I do??:</p>
<p>AP Environmental Science
AP English Literature
AP European History
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP French Language</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>AP U.S./Comparative Government
AP English Literature
AP Music Theory
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP Physics C</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>AP Physics B
AP English Literature
AP European History
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP French Language</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>AP U.S./Comparative Government
AP English Literature
AP Music Theory
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP Chemistry</p>
<p>AP Physics B
AP English Literature
AP European History
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP French Language</p>
<p>It seems like this one has the most different types of subjects.</p>
<p>AP U.S./Comparative Government
AP English Literature
AP Music Theory
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP Chemistry</p>
<p>I'm just a big fan of chem. I don't know bout having band and music theory though..</p>
<p>AP Physics B
AP English Literature
AP European History
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP French Language</p>
<p>Hmm let's see

Enviromental Science is a waste of a class period. Take something more worthwhile.

AP Physics C

Nice, but Physics C may not be a breeze. It's difficult for people who've already had a year of calc, so it'll be very difficult if you are taking calc concurrently.

AP Physics B

That one's very good. Very well-rounded. I would personally choose the above schedule.

I'll recommend this one for you because you seem to have a passion for music (judging from the fact that Band VI is in all your schedules). Go with what you love to do. However, be wary that not a lot of schools accept Music Theory credit.</p>
<p>You should have the following schedule:</p>
<p>AP Physics B
AP English Literature
AP European History
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP French Language</p>
<p>AP Physics B
AP English Literature
AP European History
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP French Language</p>
<p>You should continue with your foreign language. AP Physics is a good science class, and won't be too difficult in terms of math (since you'll be taking AB calculus at the same time), compared to Physics C.</p>
<p>Well first of all Physics C is a breeze,
Especially mechanics, if u understand normal physics concepts and calculus, and you can link the two subjects, then you probably won't even have to study the material, just take practice tests. Well thats only if you actually understand the material and not just follow rules for solving problems. </p>
<p>Well there is far less material in Physics C Mechanics than there is in Physics B, so if you are good at calculus and know your physics, you should have absolutely no problem with C, not to mention that top colleges only accept calculus based physics credits.</p>
<p>Top pick:</p>
<p>AP U.S./Comparative Government
AP English Literature
AP Music Theory
AP Calculus AB
Band VI
AP Physics C</p>
<p>btw you should mention your intended major at college, as far as I know, music and AP classes don't mix</p>
<p>If I was Oboe, I wouldn't take Physics C, seeing that he hasn't taken Calculus previously. It isn't a requirement, and can probably do it, but I think he should take it easy with Physics B before he has to start integrating Physics with Calculus.</p>
<p>I took AP Calculus AB (my favorite class), AP Physics B, and independent study AP Physics C - Mechanics in 12th grade
I wouldve taken independent study AP Calculus BC, but collegeboard doesnt let u take both calc tests same year.
Well I inegrated an equation I made for acceleration during an AP Physics B test, and got the correct velocity. The teacher recommended taking C, so I went online and took a sample test and practicly aced every question, without any prep for C. C is definetly easy stuff; its calculus questions are completely easy, making the non calc qs harder. </p>
<p>to comment on previous thread, I took both calc and physics same year, but I only thought of taking Physics C after I learned integration and derivatives, which was half way into the schoolyear.</p>
<p>Well...who knows how hard AP Physics C independent study is compared to the real class.</p>
<p>My independent study consists of doing all the odd problems in Physics for scientists and engineers fifth edition by Tipler and Mosca. It is a pain in the ass. There are 13/14 chapters for mechanics, and each one has atleast 100 questions, and they are not easy. 10-20% of them I cant solve. I dotn know about the class.</p>
<p>And after doing the first 10 chapters, I took a practice test and it was a joke. The questions in the book are a lot more involved and interesting than the ap questions. That and you get a lot of practice by doing 10/15 of the same type of problem.
Vel/Acc/pos is probably the easiest part of the calculus part. The hardest IMO is the moment of inertias when you have to find them. That an questions when the acceleration is constantly changing, like when a rope is falling.</p>
<p>Do you guys get grades for independent study?</p>
<p>Environmental Science is the biggest waste of an AP you have on here, followed by Comparative Govt.</p>
<p>"That an questions when the acceleration is constantly changing, like when a rope is falling."</p>
<p>well when I said acceleration equation I meant an equation that finds acceleration, hence changing acceleration. It's kind of retarded to do thei integral of a constant acceleration as you can just multiply it by time, although the integral does work as it does the same thing.</p>
