LisaKinVA Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm looking at using these as part of my DS and DD school next year, but was looking for reviews. I'm not finding much here, Google or at College Confidential. I'm looking into AP Physics 1 & 2, AP Environmental (I know someone here was underwhelmed), and AP English Language and Composition At GA Virtual, I was looking at AP Human Geography, AP world History. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkT Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) AP Physics 1 looks good based on the description and 1 review https://www.edx.org/course/apr-physics-1-bux-py1x-0 DS is taking AP Physics 1 this year at his B&M charter school - I will probably point out this site to his teacher If you are actually going to take the AP test - look for Jacobs https://www.amazon.com/Steps-AP-Physics-Algebra-Based-2017/dp/1259588068/ref=dp_ob_title_bk I borrowed the 2016 edition from our library and it was good. DS may just skip that exam (won't get college credit anyways future Eng or Physics major) and concentrate on his 3 other AP exams that will be credit eligible.

Yes, neither DD or DS would get credit for AP Physics 1 and 2, either. I wasn't going to do the tests for those. Looking at it more as a higher honors course -- good prep for AP Physics C.
