Princeto Review AP Physics

Well, havent taken the test yet, but the book has a wealth of information....We will see in May how helpful it was..

Excellent AP Review Book

I was kind of nervous ordering this book because it was not released until January and I wanted to use it for the 2009 test. It was not a big deal though, because I did not begin studying until about a month or so in advance. The book has just about the right amount of review material (assuming you have already read the textbook earlier) to refresh your memory and help you practice essential skills. I also found the sample test questions quite comparable to those on the real thing.

Quite helpful

This was pretty helpful in reviewing material for the exam because they have an excellent overview of all the main material you have to know. If you forgot something (like induced current in mag fields, for example) you can easily go back and review it with diagrams and practice problems. Be warned, however, that there are some topics in the book that are not on the actual AP exam and that the practice questions in the book are often more difficult than the actual test. Still, a helpful study aide.
