It depends upon **which ** AP Physics we’re talking about. I really wish people would specify.
AP Physics.1 after intl physics is pointless IMO. Intro physics, though is a common prerequisite for AP Physics C.
If the options are AP Physics 1 with lower level English and history courses vs regular or honors physics with higher level English and history, I would opt for the latter. While it may be useful to speak with the GC, schedule conflicts frequently happen - perhaps more so this year.
