Product Description
Scoring high on the AP Physics C Exam is very different from earning straight A’s in school. We don’t try to teach you everything there is to know about physics—only the strategies and information you’ll need to get your highest score. In Cracking the AP Physics C Exam, we’ll teach you how to

·Use our preparation strategies and test-taking techniques to raise your score
·Focus on the topics most likely to appear on the test
·Test your knowledge with review questions for each physics topic covered

This book includes 2 full-length practice tests. All of our practice questions are just like those you’ll see on the actual exam, and we explain how to answer every question.

Cracking the AP Physics C Exam has been fully updated for the 2008 test.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise, straightforward, and geared towards a 5!, April 15, 2008
This book is very concise, and goes over only what you need to know for the AP Exam. There are review questions at the end of each chapter that help you maximize your overall understanding of the concepts.

However, as with any concise prep books, there are flaws. This book assumes that you are really firmly rooted in your calculus, and it spends little or no time explaining them. I would highly, highly recommend readers to brush up on their calculus before attempting this book.

Also, keep in mind that this is a review, not a textbook. This book uses the "ring a bell" approach; it was written for those who have successfully completed the AP Physics C course in their school, and thus, many of the concepts serve as reminder principles rather than learning methods. But the good thing about that is it serves as an excellent "quickie" review to complement students enrolled in AP Physics C (you could say this book is like the Sparknotes/Cliffnotes for physics). Therefore, I advise against purchasing this book (in terms of solely preparing for the AP exam) if you fall into any of the following categories:
- Failed to maintain at least a "B" average in Physics C
- An AP Physics B student attempting the C Exam
- Poor grasp of calculus (note that I stated before that you must be FIRMLY ROOTED in your calculus in order to enjoy any success with this book; being merely competent will not help you)

If you fall into either of the three categories, I highly recommend that you purchase the Barrons study guide for Physics C as it goes much more in depth (I didn't like it because it had too many things that aren't even tested on the AP Exam). However, if you are getting this book to complement your coursework, then by all means get it. Expect the test questions to be slightly more difficult than the problems posed in this book, but I believe that any student who seriously studies the material in this book will get a 5. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Ill-prepared, May 25, 2008
The only major complaint I have with this book is that the practise open response questions are far easier than the questions on the actual test.
