Has anyone taken the Physics or Calculus AP Exams? How were they?

KNOW YOUR RELATED RATES FOR CALC!! thats one thing that killed me and know your 2-D rotation around a line intergrals.

Look up Vector Mechanics for Engineers and Scientists.  This deals with basic Newtonian physics as applied to static structures.\n\nBone up on chemistry.  It is easy to forget your chemistry, and as far as I know you will be required to take a few semesters of basic Chem, even if you are not planning on being a Chem Eng.\n\nDo not lose your Maths either!  Grab a pre-calc or a calculus book and keep practicing.

i love Physics, but not either of them are that easier, u see!\n so do as ur heart says to do!

Giancoli covers it pretty well.  I don't know how deep you want to go though... IB standard and higher level physics use it, though it's a 1st year university text.

I took the PSAT last month. Still haven't gotten my scores back yet. \nMy brother took the SAT last year. I don't know what his score was, but he's at a private college that only has 300-400 students, so it must've been good.

Everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mawhahahaha\n\nI actually got a 5 on my Chemistry AP test.

Hi utkarsh teri eng se pata chalta hai what could be ur level.\nanyways..\nu can take K C Sinha books, S L Loney books, and I A moron(i dont rem it exactly, may be its I E Moron ) for Calculus.\nFor Physical Chemistry \n1) sarin and sarin\n2) just that i remembered many but now its not comming to my mind.\ni hope that books be useful to u.

The feynam lectures, the big red books and not the shortened version sold as a popular science text, is actually quiet hard. There is a book for advanced math called Visual Calculus, but this should only be attempted in the senior year of math. As far as introductory calculus book i like the stewart text, but make sure you solve all the problems to truly get a picture of what is going on.

This is a hard question to answer as everyone will have a different experience.  I found that my ability to excel in Calculus was completely dependent on my instructor.  \nI did well in Algebra and advanced Algebra, but not as hot in Geometry and I think Calculus tends to favor those who are more algebra and trig based.  The first time I took Calculus I had to drop it halfway through the term because I was failing, never failed any class before and wasn't about to start, I took it again the next term and had a very passionate and competent instructor.  I found calculus to be FUN! the second time around and recieved an A in the class.  Go figure.  I would give it a 7 on your 1-10 scale.  Calculus builds on itself, so as long as you stay with it, get extra help when you need it, don't get behind, you will be fine.  However, if you miss something, nothing else will make sense after that until you get caught up.  On extra thing was that I never had trig which made Calculus a bit harder as it is based on trig.  If you did well in trig you won't have problems with Calculus as you will take what you learned in Trig and use it to do things like find the area under a curve and such.  Calculus is a very practical and useful math subject.  I can remember in Algebra saying, "when will I ever use this".  Of course I did use algebra, and I also use Calculus in my everyday work as an archaeologist with Geographical Information Systems and mapping out suvery plans.\n\nBest of luck with Cal, take it one day at a time, don't get overwhelmed, and most of all, don't be afraid to be the one in the class to say, "I don't quite undestand this, can we go over it again?"

It really depends on you - how much time you want to put into it, how quickly you grasp ideas, etc.  It depends what else you're doing as well.  If you've got the time and you can grasp the ideas of it quite quickly, then go ahead.  Maths and physics are subjects that don't take up hours meaninglessly - once you understand it, you understand it.  If you think you're capable, go for it!  Worst case scenario, you have to resit.  It depends on your support network, too.  My school told me it was impossible to sit 5 A2s and get good grades, and I did.

I took AP English, Spanish, Calculus, History and Physics. I never tested in any of them, I just took them because they looked good when I applied to college. I did however take a test called the CLEP test for Spanish and scored high enough to get out of all my foreign language requirements for college plus I earned 14 hours of college credit. So I guess taking AP Spanish (or the cumulation of knowledge from 4 years of Spanish) paid off. I took honors Calc and Honors English in college, so yeah..I guess the AP classes paid off a little in getting into the better classes.

if you're an engineering student, you should already be taking it.\n\nIt isn't easy.  Your own abilities in math will determine whether it is easy or hard.  I found the ACT was a good predictor of the relative ease of my college courses.\n\nThere are three levels of calculus you will need.  General calculus teaches you the fundamental principles of the subject and the proofs for each principle.  You will also learn several "definitions" of common calculus operations.  Multivariate calculus teaches you how to manipulate several variables at once.  Differential equations teaches you how to solve complex equations for each variable, and translate common physical situations into math.\n\nYou will need to be proficient in all of this to really perform well in engineering.

It will be somewhat tough, but if you are getting A's in your math and science classes, it won't be that bad.  However, I don't want you to think that you don't need to study.  Study really hard for it.  As for what to study the most, I really recommend that you get Barron's How to prepare for the AP Statistics.  The Barron's tests are harder than the AP test, so if you can do Barron's, you can do the AP.

They aren't too hard, I've passed them in 2 states.  Don't worry about the math (like everyone does).  what appears on the math part is actually quite easy on the test.  But the best strategy is to read a little every day and get a sample test booklet for your state (your library probably has one) so you can practice some questions and get the hang of it. \n\ngood luck!

Hi there, I am an engineering student from India. My calculus was not so good too, but then I found this awesome book and boy oh boy, it did work!\nYou will find "Calculus and Analytic Geometry" by "Thomas/Finney"  really amazing!\nIf you have a graphing calculator (not neccessary though) you will live calculus with this book, believe me!\nBut just in case you are a bit more experienced, i mean have learnt calculus a lil more in detail then I would suggest you prefer "Calculus" by Binmore Davies.\nGood Luck and all the best!\nIn case you've got some doubts on any other electronic engineering subjects, PPPPPlllleaaaaaaaaaaaaase feel free to ask, especially regarding the choice of textbooks.

I studied Calculus when I was a senior in high school.  Calculus is hard, but you learn along the way.
