AP Physics 1 - As long as you go through the packet once or twice, grades aren't worth panicking over. Formula sheets are readily available. If he hasn't posted the answer to a question on the packet (which generally he hasn't), there's a good chance you can just find it online in order to crosscheck your understanding. Tests will occasionally test high level understanding by testing on the following unit. Be prepared to mess up a couple of multiple choice tests, but the free-response ones are very generously graded. Overall a fun class.
