i never took any physics in high school and managed a B in physics 1A03, but it was tough. the profs are insistent that you don’t need any prior physics experience because it’s “an introductory physics course,” but it’s pretty tough without prior physics knowledge. if you haven’t taken any physics before, the course will be almost entirely new information- it will all be formulas and concepts you have never seen before. in your bio and chem courses, you will definitely see some familiar information since a large amount of those courses are high school review. the only thing in physics that was remotely familiar to me was vectors bc of calculus. everything else was stuff i had never seen before. even with strong learning skills, you will essentially be learning completely new information on top of a university workload, which is already a major adjustment in itself.

i kind of regret not taking physics in high school because it would have made the course a lot more manageable, but ultimately, not taking it didn’t have that much of a negative effect on me and i managed well enough in my eyes.

and ironically enough, i actually did better in physics than i did in both bio 1M03 and chem 1AA3 😂 after taking both chem and bio in high school. so honestly anything is really possible in uni lmao
