<p>“It should be noted that although fewer topics are covered in Physics C than in
Physics B, they are covered in greater depth and with greater analytical and
mathematical sophistication, including calculus applications”.</p>
<p>Look and this board and get a recommendation for a review book. I think Princeton Review is supposed to be good. Giancoli wrote another textbook called Physics for Scientists and Engineers which has much of the AP Physics B material repeated with the calculus sections added. This may be a good way to figure out what’s missing in Physics C in a context that you’re already familiar with. </p>
<p>Get your parents involved if you can and parents of other kids. I mean it. Your class is not being properly prepared for the Physics B exam. I would think given the awful situation that there are many other kids in your class who could benefit from changing now from Physics B to Physics C Mechanics, especially those taking calculus. You have learned more than enough calculus by now. This could be a good way to save face for your teacher and your school too. But hurry, because AP registrations are going on right now. </p>
<p>2) There is a day for conflicts if you have two AP’s at the same time. It’s not that uncommon to do Physics B and Physics C Mechanics in the same year, with one being taken on conflict day.</p>
