confused for ap next year

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>my senior schedule looks like this right now:
AP Calculus BC
AP Statistics
AP Literature
AP Micro
AP Maco
AP US Gov
AP Comp Gov</p>

<p>i have one more class empty and was going to fill it with AP Physics B
the thing is that my school next year will be offering AP Physics C Mechanics or EM most likely mechanics</p>

<p>For the past two years ive been talking to kids that have taken AP Physics B and they said it was impossible to pass, plus the teacher thinks you know it all when you really don’t</p>

<p>ive been seeing on here that physics c mechanics is easy to get a 5 on if you know it </p>

<p>my question is: which do you think i should do in order to look better for the colleges and do better for ap, do you think physics c mechanics is a beast or not?</p>

<p>well the thing with physics c is that there’s a calculus involved. Physics B on the other hand does not deal with calculus. However, the amount of material covered in physics b is a greater than physics c. Physics C covers less material (just mechanics, electricity, and magnetism) but in much more detail. </p>

<p>to answer you question it depends. What do you wish to be? If you wanna be an engineer physics c is definitely more impressive and will help you more in the long run. However, if you were not so good physics and do not wish to major in science or math, I believe Physics B would be most beneficial for you.</p>

<p>probobaly go on to med school, so physics b?</p>

4

<p>take physics C by all means. you’ll be taking calc at the same time so you’re fine.</p>

5

<p>I would definitely do Physics C Mechanics if I were you. A LOT less concepts to memorize than Phys B.</p>

6

<p>crunkk, why both ap govt classes senior year?
curious.
drop one of the govt to make room for phys C</p>

7

<p>my school sort of requires it, US gov is mandatory and if you take both economics you have a semester left over, so i can only fill it with a semester class and my guidance conselor said i should take another ap to keep my valedictorian class rank</p>

8

<p>gotcha,
well, the good news is if you are ready for calc then stat and econ should
pose no problems.
Phys C, go for it.</p>

<p>Physics B is a pain. So much to cover, and without calculus! Calculus makes everything so much easier.</p>

<p>A whole year of Physics C Mechanics would be pretty easy. You should be well prepared for the exam. Physics B is too much to remember, and the exam is tough…especially when your teacher does not cover everything.</p>
