Hi I am taking AP Physics 1 as a junior this year. Next year I want to take AP Biology but I also I want to take AP Physics C. Would AP Physics 1 be able to prepare me enough for AP Physics C if I am also in AP Calculus AB? If so, what ap prep books should I consider? Thanks!
No
Your question is ambiguous. Are you asking if taking physics 1 and calc will prepare you for the physics c exam which you would take this year? Or are you asking if those two classes will help you out next year when you take physics c?
By skipping physics 2, You’ll miss out on a semester of intro physics em material but, honestly, If you’re motivated, that it should be fine. Head over to the ap test prep forum for book suggestions. Id recommend pr for physics c.
You wouldn’t be prepared as is but if you work through a review book carefully I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to do well on the Physics C Mechanics exam - it isn’t too different from AP Physics 1 (hopefully I’m interpreting your question right - I’m answering as if you want to take the Physics C exam while enrolled in Physics 1 and Calculus AB).
