[quote=Anonymous]AP Physics is a mess. Physics 1, and 2 cover more topics but they are very light, barely a college class, definitely won’t count for credit in a STEM major. Physics C (both Mechanics and Electromagnetism) are more rigorous, but only cover half the topics in a general physics class. For a student that is interested and is advanced in math I’d recommend a three semester general physics class through dual enrollment, but you’d have to complete Calculus BC and multivariable as a prerequisite. Physics 1 is bad because it’s trying to avoid calculus so it won’t provide a solid foundation, but at the same time goes over a lot of material so you’ll end up with a disconnected collection of formulas. Not surprised kids don’t do well, it’s just a bad class offering. [/quote]
