[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at Blair or a magnet school.  Suppose a science interested student does AP Chem, AP Bio, and AP Calc BC by Junior year and in Senior year plans to take AP Physics C (Mechanics, Electricity, and Magnetism) as the first Physics course in high school.  What are your thoughts about the course rigor and being able to handle, especially if interested in learning the subject and doing well in the test.  I know my question is different from what OP is seeking but, with OP's indulgence, I appreciate any comments and suggestions.  Thank you.   [/quote]
If the student has already completed BC Calc, AP Physics C should be a breeze. RM offers AP Physics C concurrently with BC Calc as a first physics course. The first quarter of BC Calc is basically kinematics (it's what Newton invented calculus for, after all.) If a student wants to get ahead with a broad conceptual overview of the course before starting it - I'd recommend https://www.physicsclassroom.com/ .[/quote]

Thank you for your reply.  It gives me confidence that my DC should be able to handle the physics course.  Appreciate the link you included in your response.[/quote]
