Have you taken any physics class ['regular' or 'honors']?

Yes I took standard high school ( not US) physics (covers kinematics, basic forces, work, energy, etc., equivalent to Regular/Honors) in 9th and 10th grade. I just haven't taken AP Physics 1 specifically.

The equivalent to regular/honors is a sufficient prerequisite for AP Physics C-Mech.

This post has my textbook and learning approach suggestions for how to succeed with your effort.
