[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not take the AP Physics without the Alg 2. AP Physics 1 is one of the lowest passed exams. You can search this forum for many conversations about Physics.[/quote] +1 I’ve taught 10th graders in AP Physics 1 who were talking Algebra 2 concurrently. Smart kids, but they struggled all year, earning Cs and 2s on the exam. It’s not simple plug and chug algebra problems. It’s abstract reasoning across multiple concepts with formula manipulation. Your child should take chemistry in 10th and wait until they take calculus to take AP Physics C at the same time.[/quote] It hasn't gone great for DD's friends who did that to be honest OP. DD took it the year after Alg. 2 or concurrently with Precal and she felt it was very manageable. The Alg 2 and AP Physics curriculums aren't coordinated so it's possible your child may not have learned a certain math concept well enough by the time it comes up in AP Physics. [/quote]
