I’m trying to decide what AP exams I should take this year based on the amount of credit I will get. I’ve already taken Physics B and I want to take Mech, EM, or both. This is what I found on the UC website for the units given per exam:
Physics B: 8
Physics 1: 8
Physics 2: 8
Physics C Mechanics: 4
Physics C Electricity and Magnetism: 4
(8-unit maximum for all tests)
*Physics B is being replaced by Physics 1 & 2 – 2014-15
What does “8-unit maximum for all tests” mean? Is this for placing out of classes or for getting credit? Is there any benefit for me to take more physics exams if I already have 8 units? Thanks!
