As a teacher, I recommend this book to any serious student of physics. This review book is more comprehensive than others I have used. Though some of the questions might be challenging, they are great for AP preparation. Knowing how to solve the problems in this book will prepare you very well for the exam.

This book contains everything you'd want to know about both AP Physics tests. Everything is written clearly and makes perfect sense, even if you're teacher is useless (trust me, mine is). I've taught myself entire sections using this book alone. I have no doubt that this will improve my score on the AP Physics test.

This book helped me prepare me for my 5 on the mechanics and 5 on the EM test! Physics is the hardest subject ever and I didn't get the best grade both semesters. But with this book, I crammed on the last few days before the AP test and did well! I recommend this book!

I found this book to be helpful in some ways and in other ways, not so much. The sections on Mechanics were very simple and easy to understand. The Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Physics and the Waves and Optics sections were all easy for me to comprehend. This book was a big help in the Waves and Optics section because we didn't even go over that in class, but I was able to teach myself how to do it. As far as the Electricity and Magnetism, I thought it was extremely difficult to understand and after a while I didn't even bother with it, because I just didn't get it. I don't know if this would be my first suggestion for an AP Physics B review book, but it was ok, just a little confusing.

Well, I bought this book because I want some extra help for my AP Physics class. I think that the content in this book is quite good. But the only problem that I have with this book is that for some questions, they do not explain to us how to solve it, and suddenly just throwing some equation, then answer.

While taking my AP Physics course, I realized that I needed help...fast. I knew that there were suppliment books available, but none like this book. Everything that you could need - and nothing more - is contained in this book. The examples given are similar to what I've experienced in class, but given with much more detail and explanation. This book has been an invaluable tool.
