Can I take AP Physics 1 and 2 in the same year?

Yes, you can take AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 Exams, as well as one or both of the AP Physics C Exams, in the same year. Learn more about these AP courses.

Should I take AP Physics 1 and 2 before I take AP Physics C?

Because of this, AP Physics C is highly recommended to be at least a second-year physics course. So while you don’t have to take Physics 1 or Physics 2 before you take Physics C, taking one (or both!) introductory physics courses is recommended. You can read a full description of Physics C at the AP website.

Should I take physics 1 and 2 together?

Yes and no. To do physics II (assuming that is the E&M quarter and circuits) you need to know the first half of physics I, ie. what work, energy, and forces are. The rotational stuff, which comprises the second half of physics I, is not used too much in E&M unless you do some wild magnetic applications.

Can I take Physics 1 and 2 at the same time?

of course you can take both AP Phys 1 and 2. You do not have to take a class to take the AP exam. You can just study the material on your own and then take the exam.

Is Physics 1 or Physics 2 harder?

Physics is by definition a difficult, math-based course, and both AP Physics 1 and 2 have similarly difficult math-based exams. Physics 2 has a slightly better percentage of 5s because Physics 2 is most often taken as a second physics course, so students are overall more comfortable with the concepts.

Can you take Physics 1 and Physics 2 at the same time?

What is the best AP Physics class to take after Physics 1?

Physics 2 is the best AP Physics class to take after a regular or honors physics class (Physics 1 would pretty much just repeat what you already learned). AP Physics C is also an option if you’re taking/have already taken calculus and have either Physics 1 or Physics 2 under your belt.

What’s the difference between APAP Physics 1 and 2?

AP Physics 2 is also an algebra-based, college-level physics course. However, it delves into some more advanced topics than Physics 1.

What classes do you need to take to take Physics?

You need to take algebra and trigonometry before this class, and a normal physics class is recommended. You don’t necessarily need that normal physics class, but it can ease your transition to AP Physics 1. I would recommend this course for juniors and seniors. AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based

What is AP Physics C – Mechanics?

AP Physics C: Mechanics is the equivalent of a calculus-based first-semester college physics course. It is most often taken over the course of an entire school year but, in high schools that offer block scheduling, can sometimes be taken during a single semester.
