Is AP Physics Algebra Based hard

Apparently they recommend you take regular physics before you take the AP version. I’ll be a senior this fall so I can’t.

I’m going to self study over the summer so I won’t be behind.

Not really… AP physics 1 contains algebra 2 stuff and some trig. The math isn’t that difficult from what I’ve experienced.

No concepts of derivatives or integrals and No partial differentiation or sequence & series

concepts can be harder than math but i took ap physics 1 without taking physics before and got an A. ap physics 1 doesn’t require a class before it
