Take Physics C without passing B

In summary, it is possible to take Physics C without passing Physics B, but it is recommended to have a strong foundation in Physics B before moving on to Physics C. It may be more challenging to take Physics C without passing Physics B, so it is important to have a solid understanding of the fundamentals. While you may face some challenges, it is still possible to be successful in Physics C with hard work and dedication. It is also possible to take both Physics B and Physics C at the same time, but it is important to consider the workload. Taking Physics C without passing Physics B may be noticed by colleges, but if you perform well and have a strong understanding of the material, it may not negatively impact your college applications. It is important

Hi,
I will concurrently attend high school and take Calculus 1 and 2 Honor in community college next year. I know that Physics C is calculus-based course and I have already known it. I'm major in Engineer and want to know if I could skip Physics B and move to C instead. I hear that Physics B is for non-major and also worthless when I move to college. I need everyone's advice about taking Physics C and studying the topic that does not include in this course at the end of the year.
Thank you.
