<p>At my school there are three levels in order of difficulty, AP physics B, honors physics, and regents physics. Honors is the same as AP but honors doesn’t take the AP exam. Could I take honors physics and take the AP exam, or are there labs required or something?</p>
<p>depends on the school you go to…you live in NY, don’t you ;)</p>
<p>it has nothing to do with the school…does the collegeboard require labs?</p>
<p>I don’t think so. I think the required labs you’ll do would be for the regents and such… there are some labs that can be tested on the AP that I know we did (in AP Chem) that are covered in review books, I don’t believe they are required to sit for the exam though. I have no idea but you can self study for them so I wouldn’t think so.</p>
<p>The AP Physics B Exam does not require any lab work, but lab experience would only help.</p>
<p>I don’t know everyone is giving non-commital answers…you definitely can. Go for it. As long as they’re exactly identical, you’ll be fine. If they aren’t, just make sure you get a review book and go over the material. You probably knew that already.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>AP Physics does not have any required labs. I don’t remember any lab questions. AP Chemistry has a few lab questions, but they’re very basic. AP Biology is the one with the specific labs you have to do.</p>
<p>thanks guys you are awesome</p>
<p>The AP program does not require ANYTHING: a ten-year-old could take AP Physics, providing he was willing to pay the $82. That said, a good score does require labwork - there is a FR on the lab, as well as a teacher that will prepare you for the format of the AP exam. I would suggest taking the AP course, but if that is not possible for some reason, buy the Princeton Review’s “Cracking the AP Physics” book and take the regular course.</p>
<p>For the record, I got a 5 on the AP Physics after an AP Course that involved labwork and the use of the Princeton Review book (even though the teacher sucked).</p>
