[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for advice from anyone whose kid has take AP Calc BC and AP Physics at the same time at TJ. I know this is not recommended but DC is considering it for various reasons. DC is strong in math but only on the “normal” Math4/5 in 10th grade track.

Anyone do this and use a tutoring company they would recommend to help get pre exposure to some of the math needed for the physics side of it? [/quote]
This not easy to do. Only the very top TJ kids have managed to do this.

At TJ, going from Math4/5 to Calc BC is by itself is a big challenge, because this would mean skipping TJ Calc AB. It is not just Calc BC, it's the added rigor and fast pace that involved with TJ Calc BC that makes it challenging.

Second challenge, that you dont explicitly mention, but I am assuming, this meaning skipping TJ Physics 1 and going straight to TJ AP Physics C.  Even though Calc BC is mentioned as a co-req or a pre-req, for vast majority of TJ kids it is not a co-req but a pre-req, especially if TJ Physics 1 is not already completed. TJ Physics 1 is not an easy course by itself, but student entering TJ AP Physics is assumed to have already mastered Physics 1 at TJ rigor.

It not impossible to do, just know that very few have been successful without giving up on grades.   [/quote]
