Physics question- Honors physics???
Ok here is the getdown. There are various and numerous physics courses offered in my school district but in my school things are handled slightly different... Normally, one takes physics after chemistry more than likely only because you need to know alg. 2 material already in mind for physics instead of concurrently like in chemistry where you don't have to know logs. and exp. equations right off the bat but instead towards the end of the year when they are covered in an alg 2 class. Anyway, if you think you are too smart for "regulars" physics 1 then you take "preap" or "honors" physics one. Now usually a honors course of the same material like for example alg.2 would have about the same material except maybe the honors course had a bit more challenging problems- perhaps another textbook. BUT! In my school preap physics one is actually coded and secretly hidden to be actually the AP physics B course offered by the College Board. My question after allllll of this..? Is it hard?

Whether such a course is "hard" or not depends as much on you as it does on the course. How much do you like physics and math, how much have you had, and how good are you already at these subjects?
Also, the higher you get in math and the "harder" science courses, the less likely that you can just follow a recipe to solve the problems. The pace is also a lot faster in college math and science courses than high school ones, even if they cover the same material. In college, you will cover the material in a single semester that would have taken a whole year in high school. You are also expected to do a lot more outside the classroom, and it will be your responsibility to keep up. If you don't, you are more likely to be allowed to fail. By comparison to true college math and science courses, even AP high school courses will seem like a joke.

I am currently a student in college taking the course Physics 4 with Calculus. I found high school Physics to be incredibly easy. It is easy for many high schoolers. AP Physics is also easy. If you like science and math, then you should have no problem taking preAP Physics. It is far easier than college Physics with Calculus.

I wantto be a physicist!
I'm really not good in it though.
