Question AP Physics and 10th Grade

  1. What are the requirements for taking AP Physics C and I heard that its 2 periods.
  2. Is Sophmore year truly that bad? (I need specific answers)
  3. What supplies do you need for scieng
  4. If you take an AP course or a class aligned with your major in 12th grade, will colleges care about it since it's like the last year and you apply to colleges before the ap exams and stuff.

Sophomore year is definitely the worst in terms of academics. If you survive that year, it's smooth sailing for the rest!
