WE KNOW THE AP PHYSICS EXAM

The experts at The Princeton Review study the AP Physics exam and other standardized tests each year to make sure you get the most up-to-date, thoroughly researched books possible.

WE KNOW STUDENTS

Each year we help more than two million students score high with our courses, bestselling books, and award-winning software.

WE GET RESULTS

AND IF IT'S ON THE AP PHYSICS EXAM, IT'S IN THIS BOOK

We don't try to teach you everything there is to know about Physics--only the facts and techniques you'll need to know to score high on the Advanced Placement exam.  There's a big difference.  In Cracking the AP Physics B & C, 1999-2000 Edition, you will learn to think like the test-makers and:

*Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you
*Improve your score by knowing in advance what physics topics are tested
*Memorize complicated physics concepts with simple techniques
*Ace the free-response section by practicing with our sample questions

Practice your skills on the two full-length sample tests inside (one each for the Physics B & C exams).  The questions are just like the ones you'll see on the actual AP Physics exam, and we fully explain every answer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Preparation, May 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cracking the AP: Physics, 1999-2000 Edition (Paperback)
This book gives nice, brief explanations of all the required topics on the Physics AP while going more in-depth in the example problems. The only downfall, and this may be true with other prep books too, is that the practice problems aren't similar enough to the real AP problems to give you good practice. The practice test is rather discouraging, but most prep books are harder than the real AP. In short, learn from this book, but don't practice too much from it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overall but only focuses on the harder aspects, July 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cracking the AP: Physics, 1999-2000 Edition (Paperback)
The Princeton Review did a great job with this book; it covers everything you need to know and more. It does have one drawback, however. This book focuses on preparing you for the hard questions on the test without spending enough time on the simpler, more conceptual questions (which the AP test does cover). If this book were to be used in conjunction with Barron's AP Physics, you'd have all your bases covered. I used those two books to help me score my "5" in AP Physics B.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of good review and problems., April 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cracking the AP: Physics, 1999-2000 Edition (Paperback)
This a a nice, large study aid that works as an excellent review but doesn't teach you everything there is about physics, just what you need to know for the exam.
