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. This is the main factor that makes Physics C more challenging than Physics 1 and Physics 2.

Depending on your course description, Physics 1 is most likely classical mechanics and Physics 2 is most likely electricity and magnetism. Neither is more difficult than the other, but it depends on if you’re better at mechanics or E&M. I found it harder than physics 1 because the concepts are much less intuitive.

All you need to know for Physics 1 (newtonian mechanics) is basic derivatives for velocity and acceleration as well as some integrals for force, work and some moment of inertia problems. Physics 2 requires Calc 2 because you need to know different types of integrals such as trig substitution, and u substitution.

AP Physics C: E&M is quite a bit harder than AP Physics C: Mechanics since the calculus is higher level, ranging from BC to Calculus III level.

I don’t think this applies too well for bio. AP Chemistry is definitely the toughest. It’s easily the hardest exam on the list because of it’s heavy emphasis on conceptual understanding, memorization, and math. AP Bio requires a solid foundation in biology and a holistic understanding of how these concepts connect.

Not really, simply because it is more of an Honors level course than a your typical AP. If you choose to take Physics C after Physics 1, it may be more relevant because Physics C is more advanced and is accepted more for college credit. AP Physics 1 isn’t accepted for credit in many colleges.

To put it bluntly, yes, colleges do look at freshman year grades on your college application. However, if a student doesn’t receive her best grades during her first year of high school, all is not lost.

Should You Take Physics Over Earth/Physical Science? It will look better on your transcript if you take physics, but most colleges don’t require it unless you plan on majoring in math or science.

Would it be difficult to take a physics class in college without having taken a physics class in high school? The short answer is “no”. As always, though, details are important.

I definitely recommend taking Physics before General Chemistry. I definitely recommend taking Physics before General Chemistry. Memorization is not learning and can be counterproductive in your efforts to manage time if you are taking a full course-load.

Originally Answered: Is high school chemistry harder than physics? No, That’s all depends upon the interest of the student and the educator from he is studying. The level of physics and chemistry at high school is very low but very interesting and it’s very useful to make interest in student.

Questions and Answers: What biology course should I take, and when? A1: Whatever introductory biology class you decide to take, you should take chemistry now, including lab, in your first year. You can take introductory biology at the same time, although most students wait until their second year.

yes, if your student has the necessary math. Chemistry before biology will be beneficial for the understanding of biochemistry which constitutes a large portion of modern biology programs.

However, if you Persue a biology degree you will probably take at least one chemistry class. You’ll probably also be taking a genetics class and a molecular biology class. Not exactly Indepth chemistry, but a basic understand of chemistry will be required.
