Product Description

Updated to reflect the most recent Advanced Placement exams, this new edition presents a diagnostic test and two full-length Physics C practice tests with questions answered and explained. Physics C problems, as designed by the Educational Testing Service, are those that require use of calculus for their solutions. In addition to practice exams, this manual presents a detailed review of AP physics topics, which include Newtonian mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and all other related AP test topics. Additional aids for test takers include a general overview of the AP exam, study advice, test-taking tips, and an Appendix of Physics C equations.

Customer Reviews

If you just want a 5, don't get this book.
Do yourself a favor and don't get this book if all you want is a measly 5 on the AP Exam. Getting 5's are easier than actually really Learning for good.
You will spent countless hours trying to swim through a sea of wonderful information that the AP exam will not even dare touch. I bought the Princeton Review one and the Barrons book and was repelled quite quickly by the Barrons. Buy the PR book. This book is probably great for college physics though and I would recommend it for that. Also great if you are somebody who loves to explore beyond the required material for the sake of learning. Trust me if you know this book, getting a 5 is the last of your concerns.

Good review book, but way too detailed
I believe this book is good for people who know very basic ideas of Physics C topics. If you know the topics pretty well, but just need a refresher, don't buy this book. The explanations in this book are more detailed than my textbook (Tipler's Physics for Scientists and Engineers). For example, I just wanted to review Simple Harmonic Motion and the various equations that go with it. I found myself more confused with the book going into many different equations for k-effective.
