Okay so I'm taking AP Physics B at my high school this year (i'm a senior) and I really enjoy it and I do well on all of the tests so far (I do usually get 1 or 2 problems wrong tho...my average is between 80 and 90 percent on tests). I really like Physics and all of the theories and stuff but I'm worried that I might not do well in college because of the math...not that I'm not good at math (I taught myself calculus and I have no problem remembering the equations)..it's just that some of the problems in my textbook get really hard to do, (I've only encountered one that I haven't been able to solve on my own though. and the problems my teacher assigns are usually pretty easy to me)...
So my question is... how does AP Physics B compare to University Physics? Is it just a little harder or is it incredibly more difficult? I'm planning on going to the U of Arizona...(not really a top ranked school, but I would probably transfer to a better one in the last two years of my major). and...I've taken two and a half years of Biology classes and now Biology seems extremely easy to me...is this what it's like for Physics? Do you start out kind of not good at it or whatever then after a course or two you get used to it and it becomes a piece of cake? or at least just easier?
thanks
