This review is from: Ace Your Midterms & Finals: Introduction to Physics (Schaum's Midterms & Finals Series) (Paperback)

I bought this book last semester when I was a Student at Indiana University. It has old Physics exams from different Big Ten Universities. Low and Behold my Physics Professors old exam was in the book. Needless to say I Aced the Test and the class. The information and problems are good for any Physics student at any University because the problems are Universal. If you are looking for a great way to practice for your Physics exams I would reccomend this book to you. :)
