<p>i’m still a senior in high school, but i think i can help you out. i decided to skip high school physics and take freshman physics at my big state university. it was my first time with physics, but i am very good at other sciences and math. it’s not a top university, but it’s not a crappy one either. it wasn’t bad at all. i mean, there is some tricky stuff, but if you study, it should be ok. if you’re good at math it will really help. basically, for my class, it would seem hard, but none of the really hard stuff was ever tested on the exams so i didnt need to study for them. easy A. if you go to Emory or USC, it will likely be harder, but definitely manageable. </p>
<p>i honestly dont think a background in high school physics will help you. the professor should teach you the basic concepts (which is what high school would give you), and then you just need to practice doing problems and doing the math and knowing the equations. </p>
<p>if you have some clue about science (which you do because you took AP chem and bio), and you know math, did you take AP calc? you’re fine. HS physics doesn’t do anything. in my opinion.</p>
