Hi,
Is it hard to mange an A if I take Calculus physics I and II with Calculus III in the summer?

first 6 weeks:
Calculus III
Calculus Physics I

Second 6 weeks:
Calculus Physics II


What's your advice?

That's not hard and you can easily get an A in all of those courses. Just be dedicated to it and work diligently.

This is completely dependent upon what's going in your life. Do you have work, research other demanding ECs? The thing about summer classes is that they come at you really fast and if you're not ready you can fail the class. There is no time to try out new study methods or whatnot. Your study habits should be pretty solid for a successful summer

It is very fast paced. With cal 3 and physics in the same month, you won't have time to breathe. Be ready to live in your school's library for the whole summer.

Personally, I'll tell you what my physics professor said to me about this. He said that it is not possible to learn all the necessary concepts for physics into a summer cram course. You're going to learning fundamentals of the world that took the great thinkers thousands of years into around 3 months.

All I can tell you is to get ready for an intense summer. Hit the ground running, and don't get distracted. Practicing problems is the best way to learn physics.

It all depends on how dedicated you are ! Whats your Gpa ?
Do you have time management and dedication to finish these courses in their 5-6 week time frame ??

I had a very similar schedule last summer:

First 5 weeks:
Calculus II
Calculus Physics I

Second 5 weeks:
Orgo II

It's doable if you're motivated, have no other responsibilities, and are ready to pull of some serious all-nighters.

For the first 5-week session, I had class from 7:30-10:40 (Physics I) and from 11:15-1:45 (Calculus II) Monday through Friday. It was brutal. The second five-week session felt like a breeze.

Good luck!

I doubt that you will be successful. You're taking three of the most difficult courses in undergrad over a very short period. Something people take over 7+ months you're taking in 2. I'm a senior, I rocked the MCAT and rocked physics but I definitely needed a few weeks before it clicked, Only you know yourself and your abilities. Please be careful.
