I am currently enrolled in AP Physics 1, but many have told me that when they went to college, the 1 credit is often not accepted. I haven’t taken AP Calc but I know derivatives and integrals. My school doesn’t offer AP Physics C, but I was thinking to stay in AP Physics 1 throughout the year and just self study C: Mechanics. Is this possible? Any advice? Prep materials?
