Wait, is it possible to take AP tests outside the U.S?

Generally, if you want to major in physics, you must graduate from high school with at least a strong foundation in basic physics and basic mathematics—trig, algebra and geometry. But if you want to go to a competitive school like Caltech, you shouldn't just take normal physics and math classes...

It was mentioned above that you should graduate from high school with the best foundation in math and physics. Sign up for AP physics and AP calculus, if your school offers it. If it does not, I think you can take physics and calculus classes at a local university or community college. You...

You need to give us more information about you so we can help. What kind of classes are you taking at your local university and what textbooks are you using? Tell us about your background in math.

Yes, that's very true. It's not just my school that wasn't very good, all the schools in the country were bad. I've emailed some universities and they said they'll view my grades in the context of my class. WES mentions that my score is equivalent to getting 4 GPA. Other websites say that it's...

I was in the top 10% of my class as a freshman and senior and the top 15% as a sophomore and junior. Which makes some of the colleges I mentioned above a good match. But that would be very bad if I were considering HYPS or any of the Ivies. I wanted to transfer to a very top school if I didn't...

Thanks very much! Due to my financial circumstances, I'm going to apply for colleges that meet 90% - 100% of financial need. The colleges that I mentioned are the least selective universities that meet full financial need. I don't care about BIG names. I just want a decent physics education...

Perfectionism can be mush worse than that. I made a very big mistake and I will never ever allow myself to be a victim of perfectionism again. The admission process in my country is very ridiculous. You MUST get the minimum score of the college you want to get accepted. They are brutally...

What are my chances to get accepted into a university with a strong physics program taking in account that: 1- I'm going to apply after taking a gap year because I haven't taken the SAT exam yet as I never intended to apply for college in the US before. (I attended high school abroad) 2- I...

I never meant that these objects are in a moving elevator. I just wanted to create an analogy by imagining that two objects were in side- contact, and I tried to imagine the force that one would act on the other at different conditions.

Yes, I meant both of them are in contact such that neither of them is exerting its weight on the other.

Hey Everyone, When I was reading about the apparent weight in an elevator I started to think about something. I think If two objects are in side contact moving at the same velocity, neither of them applies a force on the other, because it's as if they were at rest together. A force doesn't...

Not from CC, a university in fact. Do you mean they won't even require the SAT 1 neither the SAT 2 score?

Hi, I was wondering if I apply for a college as a transferring applicant will my SAT and HS GPA weigh much? Do colleges forgive previous bad performance? Thanks in advance.

That's really impressive. [emoji4]
