Help with class picking...

Post by DARKS1M »

Right now I'm a junior.

Should I take physics? I heard its hard... Also I suck at math but it is recommended to take a 4th year of it after algebra 2 in order to keep up academic rigor. From your guys' own experiences can I do without that 4th year of math? My paper thingy with the classes I take next year is due tomorrow and I haven't filled it out yet... >_>

AP physics B = never ever take the damned thing. Normal physics is probably fine. I think difficulty changes with schools, though.

Take a fourth year of math. Otherwise when you get into college you'll have forgotten all your previous math exp and will be SCREWED.

normal physics was easy, I took it my sophomore year, currently I am junior (o yas, me and dark are same age xD)
anyways, I'd take the 4th year of math since math is a requirement to take in college I believe 2 years (maybe it's 4 now)

My friend is failz0ring regular physics right now so I'm scared of it. T^T I hate math T^T T^T T^T It'd be overkill in hw if I took physics, some math, Gov/eco., and english 4 (last two required). Meh... Also, nib question: whats the math class after algebra 2?

DARK if you truely think u are a failure at math i think u shouldnt physics. physics is like in a deeper math with regular math. velocity, acceleration formulas in it, gravity and those are jsut a killer to think about T_T basically its MATH + SCIENCE . i prefer numbers than mixing it with science >.>. OHHH BTW what u trying in getting into after high skool O_O

Well, after Algebra 2 is Pre-Calculus. Physics isn't hard as long as you don't slack off and begin to suck at math. It'd be helpful if you told us what you plan to major in after high school. Otherwise, I'd say you should take another math course, Pre-calculus is an excellent way to prepare for college-level maths. I'm a sophomore, so I don't really know how big your workload is, but I'm having a decently easy time juggling Algebra 2 Honors and Physics.

After Algebra 2 is Trigonometry (unless you took it before Algebra 2) then it's pre-calc
