AP Physics?

Question

Today, I was signed up for AP Physics. I have taken regular physics and it was easy. I am very very good at MATH. I can do math for hours for Fun. I have taken Alegbra 1 and Formal geomerty. I never got Less than A in math. Will I live through that class or not.

I have a 4.0 and I'm a sophmore(srry I am not good at spelling)

I want to become a programmer. I do programming on the computer basically in C++.

Answer 1

I teach AP Physics, and based on what you have said, you should be fine. I hope you signed up for AP Physics B though. AP Physics C gets into calculus, whereas AP Physics B uses only algebra and trig. You go into greater detail and faster pace in AP, so be prepared, do your homework, and don't get behind!

Answer 2

AP Physics is tough. If your math grades are at least a B then I would consider taking AP Physics. It will be tough for you unless you are really strong in math.

Answer 3

yes u should live through the class....if u were talking regular physics and found it easy, i think u will do fine...especially since u have an A in math cuz all physics is is math basically...and sometimes AP classes have a more relaxed grading scale...it should be a good class....but do what you want to do...

good luck

Answer 4

You should be taking classes because they are fun! And physics is lots of fun.

Taking AP's in high school will probably translate into credits at the university you go to. Knowing this, you won't have to take some general requirement class at the university and can focus on computer programming if that is what you want to do..

Answer 5

You won't have trouble with AP Phys.......you might want to set your sights a little higher than coding c++. It's a good career, but it's a little boring sitting so much.

Just something to think about, but good luck to you in whatever you choose to do!
