I need help deciding which AP Physics test to take.
Currently, I am a junior taking AP Physics BC, which my teacher claims is between AP Physics B and C. It looks like all we will learn this year is mechanics, maybe touch on electricity. Our teacher isn’t giving us any AP test questions or practice, but I think he is covering the material well, explaining the concepts and equations thoroughly.
My teacher says good engineering colleges will only notice me if I take the AP Physics C test. He says his course doesn’t cover much of the C test and I won’t have enough time to study for it.
I bought a AP Barron’s Physics C book (barely opened, so I can still return it).
I’m planning to major in engineering (probably mechanical) in college.
How much more material does Physics C cover than Physics B? Would the Physics C book also be helpful for studying Physics B?
I understand the concepts taught in class well and so far I am maintaining a high A. Which test should I take? Do good colleges really only care about 5s on the C test?
Thanks!
