<p>Do you mean the AP Physics B and Physics C exams?
If so, that’s some weird logic, and I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s not like they’re getting rid of physics entirely.
Physics B is algebra-based, so if you’re going to study one, pick that one. I still think people should take a physics class, though. I tested out of physics (92% on the final without a class) and guess what? I don’t know physics. And if you’re taking Physics B in junior year, what’s the point?
Physics C has two tests (Mechanics and E&M), and you can take one or both. Calculus is required as a corequisite. People tell me the calculus isn’t the hard part, but I don’t think anyone should self-study Physics C while they’re taking pre-calc. </p>

<p>You don’t really need to take AP Calculus AB before BC. </p>

<p>Other than that it looks fine.</p>

<p>AP Physics B will be the exam that will discontinued, not either of the AP Physics C exams. Also, non-calculus based physics will still be tested, it will just have 2 exams.</p>
