Can you take AP Physics C while taking calculus?

Both AP Physics C courses are calculus-based, meaning you should have already taken calculus or concurrently be taking calculus while you take either AP Physics C course.

Do you need calculus to take AP Physics?

Although most AP Physics C courses require concurrent enrollment in calculus as a minimum prerequisite for acceptance, it is not uncommon to accept motivated students who can teach themselves the basics of differentiation and integration.

How hard is AP calculus?

The AP Calculus AB exam is historically one of the hardest AP exams to pass. Its passing rate may look high at 58\%, but that’s because it’s one of the less popular AP exams with a smaller self-selected group of students taking the exam. It begs the question of whether or not it’s even worth taking AP Calc.

What is calculus AB vs BC?

Calculus AB covers the first semester of calculus only (Calculus I) Calculus BC covers the first two semesters or a whole year of calculus (Calculus I and II courses combined) All of the topics covered in Calculus AB are also found in BC. Calculus BC goes further than AB, touching on additional mathematical concepts.

Do I have to take Pre-Cal before AP Physics?

You don’t have to take pre-cal before you take physics, but rather you should take it at the same time you are taking physics. The trig part in pre-cal will help out. AP Physics C will require you to take calculus though, I belive B won’t. 02-18-2007 at 5:37 am

What are my options after taking the new physics 1 course?

Students have the following options after taking the new Physics 1 course: AP recommends that colleges and universities grant one semester of credit for a score of 3 or higher on the AP Physics 1 Exam and one semester of credit for a score of 3 or higher on the AP Physics 2 Exam.

What math do you need for AP Physics 1?

Students should have completed geometry and be concurrently taking Algebra II or an equivalent course. Although the Physics 1 course includes basic use of trigonometric functions, this understanding can be gained either in the concurrent math course or in the AP Physics 1 course itself.

Is AP Physics B being discontinued?

AP Physics B has been discontinued. Below is information to help school and district administrators plan to implement AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2, as well as information counselors can use to advise students of the best science sequence for them.
