1.0 out of 5 stars
Book is full of mistakes!!!,
By
This review is from: Barron's AP Physics B (Paperback)
I am a teacher of AP Physics B. I had my entire class purchase this for review preparation. Unfortunately, the book is riddled with mistakes--multiple-choice questions that have no correct answer, solutions done wrong, calculation mistakes, even questions that have two correct answers. This continually undermines the confidence of my students. I am having to check through every problem and example in the book. I don't know if the author or the publisher, or both, forgot to do any proofreading of the text, or if they were just plain lazy and sloppy with their work. Oh, did I mention the haphazard use of significant figures? ...like the question that gives data to one significant figure, but the answer is given to four significant figures. Go figure! I have used Barrons study guides for other courses in the past, and have been satisfied, but this has been a horrible experience. If someone knows of a truly good study guide for this material, please post it here.

This review is from: Barron's AP Physics B (Paperback)
This is the worst AP review book on the planet, if you want to fail your final exam or get a 1 on the AP exam, get this book. It has numerous mistakes, it is the absolute worst review book FOR PHYSICS. I don't know how Barron's does on other AP exams, but for Physics, it sucks. NO help at all, I wish I had not written on the practice test or I would return it.

Stay away. Stay far, far, away.,
This review is from: Barron's AP Physics B (Paperback)
This book is disastrous. It lacks any sort of editing and about 10 questions on the DIAGNOSTIC test have incorrect answers and/or have explanations that were probably mixed up with some other test. Look, do not buy this book or anything written by Jonathan S. Wolf. They just plain suck. If you want to waste your time with questions that are nothing like the AP, then please, by all means buy this book. Otherwise, spend your time and money on something better like the loads-better Princeton Review version.
