<p>@TeamRocketGrunt - I’m pretty sure they changed the curriculum so instead of B and C, it’s 1 and 2. Not sure how much the content changed.</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity
I believe they are replacing B with a slower paced version with 1 and 2 and are keeping C. However,depending on the school, students would have to take 1 before moving on to C.</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity, yeah, I think they’re only replacing B. The boarding school I’m hoping to attend next year allows you to place out of any class you want to. If you already know something and you can prove it, they’ll place you at a higher class wholeheartedly, @SwaggyC</p>
<p>No, Physics B as far as I know has less math in its curriculum compared to the Physic C classes. And if you know Calc then C shouldn’t be too difficult. </p>
<p>@SwaggyC - Ah, thanks for clearing that up! Doesn’t the CB “recommend” that physics 1/2 be spread out across two years, though? So if I were to take 1 junior year, I would never get the chance to take C?</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity Are you in a block schedule or year-long? If you’re in a block schedule they’ll probably let you take both in the same year.</p>
<p>Also was AP Physics B equivalent to a two semester course? According to Collegeboard, AP Physics 1 is like the first semester of an algebra-based physics course and AP Physics 2 is like the second semester of an algebra-based physics course.</p>
<p>@gbrl10 - My school doesn’t do block scheduling. /: AP Physics B was a 1-year course, but CB made physics 1 and 2 a year each.</p>
<p>Does anyone else watch figure skating? Even if you don’t, you probably heard all the controversy already. Good thing Korea’s hosting the next Olympics. D:</p>
<p>Physics 1/2 is gonna be 1 course for my school</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity Well doesn’t that mean that you would learn more in Physics 1 and 2 than B, even if it is slower? Also is there room in your schedule for AP Physics C senior year?</p>
<p>@gbrl10 - I guess, although there’s no calc, which is the entire point of C. I don’t really see a point in taking physics 2 and physics C at the same time. I don’t think I’m going to go into physics, so I should be okay.</p>
<p>If I wanted to lay a foundation for physics C but I haven’t had a physics course yet, what would I need to study? If I study SAT II level physics, will it suffice? I already have calculus under my belt</p>
<p>Why do we have a separate thread for next year’s courses?</p>
<p>^I guess it’s for the people who don’t come on this thread.</p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt I believe that the SAT II goes over more than the honors Physics course. People who take honors physics usually has to buy a a prep book. People who took AP Physics B don’t have to. </p>
<p>Hola mi amigos!</p>
<p>Tis I!</p>
<p>/disappears for another 4 months, signaling that AP Calc will have a lenient curve this year</p>
<p>@Apllo11 - What? No habla espanol, please repeat in english.</p>
<p>^It would be no hablO español…</p>
<p>@Animefan1998 - That probably explains why I’m doing so terribly in Spanish right now.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, thanks for correcting me.</p>
<p>Hello my friends*</p>
<p>Wait, is it mi amigos or mis amigos?</p>
