[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to read others' responses. My older kid would have done Honors Physics, but his  school doesn't offer it, so he jumped into AP Physics 1 as a junior and had a terrible experience. Not fully understanding the concepts, struggled for the B, scored a 2. It was at least partly due to a horrible teacher, unfortunately, so that's important to look into when deciding. (He was in Calc AB at the time, so a somewhat advanced math student but it doesn't come intuitively to him) My [b]younger student will skip physics[/b] and take a different advanced science instead, unless perhaps a new teacher comes along.[/quote]

Skipping physics altogether is a recipe for not getting in to any T75 or better. Even JMU likes to see it if offered at the high school. [/quote]

My oldest did not take physics and got into Northwestern.  She did Calc BC, Statistics AP, APES, Honors Chem, Honors Bio, a ton of Comp Sci classes, and the rest was all humanities stuff.  [/quote]
