So currently I’m committed to UCLA (Mechanical Engineering major), while still waiting to hear back from Dartmouth College (Waitlisted; the wait is killing me). Anyways, college starts in late September, so I thought I could use the time to study some college-level physics or math. Despite the fact that I’m an international student and my school doesn’t offer AP classes, buying some Barron’s textbooks won’t hurt. But I have some questions:

1. As a college student, will I still be able to take AP exams (next May prob) and earn credits?

2. AP Physics 1, 2, B, and C: so basically I have no idea what they are. But I got 790/800 on my SAT II Physics and found it pretty easy. Which one do you guys suggest I start with?

3. AP Calc AB and BC: I learned some calculus at school. Where should I begin with?
