i took one physics class in high school, AP Physics C Mechanical. i got a 3 on the test (a “C”) while still getting an A in the class because i happened to memorize the right things for those tests. i literally learned nothing that could have transfered to my actual experience in college physics. if you feel like you actually understand an involved problem solving process (i.e. NOT by cramming last minute, which is more or less an exercise in memorization), then taking physics or not in high school is a moot point. success in college physics depends on things much more important than just SAT scores and GPAs.</p>
<p>i’ve taken 3 semesters straight of college engineering physics, so i’ve had a lot of time to figure out the best way to approach it…i got an A in both Mechanics/Thermodynamics and Electromagnetics, and i’m looking at a very solid A in Quantum Mechanics/Nuclear Physics.</p>
