AP Physics B vs. AP Physics C?

I'm very much interested in Physics so I've decided to take an AP Physics Course next year, but I'm having difficulty deciding between B and C. I would take C because I know colleges accept it more often, but I struggle with the decision due to the use of calculus. I will be eligible to take AP Calc AB next year, but I don't know if I want to add a fourth AP class. If i choose to instead take a regular Calculus course will I struggle in AP Phys C? From what I've heard B is not Calculus based and since I'm currently doing very well in Pre-Calc and I got an a in my Honors Physics class I don't see why this would be a struggle. I'd rather take Phys C but I'm afraid it will be too difficult.

AP Physics B vs. AP Physics C?
Well, In my experience.... for AP Physics.... all you really need to know how to do is an Integral and a Derivative ( Dot and Cross Product here and there.) , well a little bit of Polar Coordinates as well, but with some Pre-Calculus background, it should be managable.
Reply:judging from your grade on precalc, I do not see why you would have a difficulty with Ap calculus or physics. 4 subjects are not too much to take, students in our school take a minimum of 5. You can handle it.
Reply:Here u'll find a site with AP C "free response questions"





If you can do them then u can take Ap C

Reply:I don't know how good you are at math. C mechanics is pretty easy. You will only need to know how to differentiate and integrate using simple power rule and solve first order differential equations (if they put air resistance on there) to get a 5. All three of that you can easily learn by yourself in a week. E%26amp;M is a bit harder.
Reply:I took AP Phys B in highschool and got a 4 on the exam. My college accepted it no problem, but if you want to be a physics major specifically you will have to take mechanics again, this time using calculus. You will have to take calculus too, so maybe you should get that out of the way (it will be accepted no matter what if you pass the exam.


Also, note that Physics C will be very difficult without a calc background.
