[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AP Physics 1 experience is very teacher-dependent. STEM-focused DC is at a magnet and this course is more work than all of their others (IB and AP) put together. Spends a ridiculous amount of time self-teaching. So be sure to ask about what it's like at your school.[/quote] Similar issue with my kid, who is also taking two sciences in 10th.[/quote] AP Physics 1, which my kid is taking as the first Physics course, in our non-magnet W school is a bear. A lot of outside study is required, and the instructor gives AP tests all year, and to get a 3 in the AP Physics 1 test, you need to get 33%. Tests are very hard. GPA busting class for sure.[/quote] This. My kid is a junior taking AP Physics 1 at a non W HS. He complains this is a hard class and only 1 kid has an A this quarter. It is not an easy class [/quote]
