Question by Cole H: AP Physics Question (not homework help)?
So today we had to register for the AP classes that we want.
I (not bragging) have an extreme talent when it comes to anything that has to do with mathematics.
I am currently a sophomore enrolled in Trig/ Pre-Calc, and passed 1st semester with a 99 (no EC is offered ever) and currently hold a 100%.
I was taken to the AP Physics teacher by me chemistry honors teacher today to get the signature. She told him that it would be a crime to have me take a non-AP Physics class, and that I need to be enrolled in AP physics.
The AP physics teacher said that as long as I understand Right Triangle Trig and sine and cosine there shouldn?t be a problem.
However the AP coordinator (who honestly, thinks too highly of himself and is a total jerk) told me that there was no way I would be allowed to take AP physics without taking regular Physics first.
Is it seriously that hard to take AP physics? Is it necessary to take regular physics first? Because I am not the only student who is having this problem and over 30 kids are interested in taking the course, but the AP Coordinator says no.
Before we take action with the principal, I would like to know.. is it unwise to take AP physics without taking a basic physics first? Why?

Best answer:

Answer by Michael
I took AP Physics B my Junior year of high school with no prior experience in the subject, and I was fine (my previous math grades weren?t even as stellar as yours are). I rarely say this, but in this case I would ignore the AP coordinator on this one and just go for it! You?ll definitely regret it if you don?t.

Enjoy AP Physics next year!
