It depends based on your preference. If you want to have a foundation and know the basics of physics for next year, then you can do that. Some colleges, especially very selective ones, want students to take a rigorous schedule and take as many hard (honors/AP) courses as possible. If you want to go into a selective college, you shouldn’t take Applied Physics, but a different level. If your school has an Honors or AP Physics course, then take that. But, if you feel the need to prepare yourself a year before, then do that. I hope this helps.

Sounds good.

I took general physics in high school my senior year (12th grade) and I got A’s. I’m now a physics major and I averaged B’s in my physics classes.

If you know algebra, that basic units like mass time and distance can be used to find force and density and stuff, and you don’t mind a little work you should be fine.

If Physics class is hard for you, it does not matter what grade your in. You need to learn all the math you can! I think physics is not something you take just for college. As for colleges , they care about test scores and money! Physics is something you love. Most people find it boring. Physics is based on a lot of math and creative thinking. If you have no interest in physics and or bad at math, void it! I am so glad that you care about higher learning (college)! Physics will not make you smarter if you don’t understand it, but if you do. GO GO GO!!!!!!
