Is it possible to do good in AP Physics without taking Physics first? I'm doing that right now, and the class is a little challenging. Some of the questions just makes no sense to me.

probably not, because you have to understand basics first. but Good Luck!!

I guess so- it just depends on whether or not your teacher curves your grades, but at my high school it is taught as a first year course, so they assume you have not taken any previous Physics class, unlike Chemistry and Biology, which at the AP level you are presumed to have completed at least a first year course in that subject.  Just ask your teacher about it, and you should be fine.  Plus, AP Physics is hard anyway, no matter whether you do regular Physics first or not.  Just saying.  Good luck though

To be honest...no. You can attempt and try hard, if you know how to grasp things. The thing about an AP class, is that, it goes over the same topics you learn in a regular class, but in far more detail.   GL!

is it POSSIBLE to do well in AP Physics? well sure it is possible, anything is possible.Now is it likely you will do well in AP physics without doing regular or honors physics? I would have to say no,it is not likely because of the fact that you are doing college work, just in a highschool setting, so if you take AP physics with out learning the basics, you will mostlikely struggle or have to study alot harder then the rest of the students just to "stay afloat" and understand what is being said, while all the other students are working hard to get a good grade. I would advise you talk to you teacher to get extra help, or ask if s/he would recomend you transfering to honors physics or regular physics.
