Cracking the AP Physics Exam

My teacher required this book for my AP Physics Course. He felt that it would be helpful, time will tell.

Helpful Study Aid; must have to get a 5

This book will cover everything you really need to know. Some chapters probably could do with a little more examples and explaining, but this is the book to get if you're going to get just one. The AP Exam is a whole lot worse than the grade you will probably end up getting in July. Most of my class felt they completely bombed the test but ended up making 4's and 5's. I took this my senior year and constantly found myself getting behind because of laziness and lack of motivation (senior year). I desperately crammed for about a week before the exam and I felt like I was learning a year's worth of information in that time. I did my best on the exam and ended up getting a 5 and a 4. As long as you know the basic concepts and have the ability to do most of the well known examples, you will be competent.

Yeah, Yeah

We all like to complain and give bad reviews when we find errors in test prep books. The truth is, there are errors in EVERY test prep book. (I'm on page 72 and have only spotted one error where a minus sign was supposed to be an equals sign.) Anyone studying for an AP test is smart enough to find them and ignore them anyway. After all, the errors in this book are minor and hardly matter because this book on a whole is very comprehensive. It goes over all of the key info for Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism. It's got a lot of sample problems, but I would read through the whole thing and not just skip to the practice test. Even after two years of high school physics, this book is a great refresher for the AP and an even better motivator for those hoping to test out of a college course (or two).

Helpful!

so far the book is very helpful...recommend to everyone who is going to take the AP Physic C test.

Ill-prepared

The only major complaint I have with this book is that the practise open response questions are far easier than the questions on the actual test.
