What is after AP Physics C?

If PhysicsA is fundamental mechanics, and PhysicsB is E & M, and PhysicsC is “Modern Physics”; then AFTER Physics C, in many colleges and universities could be Thermodynamics. One of the university sites is indicating after “Modern Physics”, that Mathematical Methods and Computational Physics come next.

What do you take after AP Physics?

AP Physics 2 was designed to be a second-year physics course. This means it should come after AP Physics 1 or any first-year physics course. This class will focus on more advanced physics skills and knowledge, including fluid dynamics, electric currents, magnetism, and quantum physics.

Should I take physics C in high school?

Students who are planning on pursuing physics, math, or engineering in college should try to take the AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism AP exams in high school. It is recommended, however, that AP Physics C be the second Physics course high school students take.

Do I have to take high school physics before taking AP Physics?

You shouldn’t have to take a year of high school physics before taking AP Physics. However, you should take the math needed for the version of AP Physics you plan to take.

Should I take AP Calculus AB or AP Physics C first?

You really are better off either taking calculus before you take AP Physics C or taking a version of AP Physics C that is designed to be taken concurrently with AP Calculus AB. If you want some exposure to physics before you take AP Physics, study it during the summer before you take AP Physics in school.

Is AP Physics 2 a second year physics course?

AP Physics 2 was designed to be a second-year physics course. This means it could come after AP Physics 1 or any first-year physics course. Much of its content is similar to the old AP Physics B course. You can read the full descriptions of AP Physics 1 and Physics 2 at the Advanced Placement website.

What is the advantage of AP Physics C exam?

The advantage of taking AP® Physics C exam is that many colleges grant credit and placement depending on their cut-off score. Most colleges will require a student to have a minimum score of 3. If you already have a target university, go to the CollegeBoard AP® Credit Policy Search.
