AP Physics B

<p>So I'm in my junior year and I want to self-study Physics B so I can do well on Physics C next year. I don't need to take the exam if I don't feel I'm ready but I want to get as much experience with Physics as possible. The reason I didn't take Physics H this year was because I am taking Chemistry AP.</p>

<p>This is my first time self-studying an AP. How should I go about doing this? I'm thinking about getting Physics: Principles with Applications 5th edition from Giancoli because I heard Giancoli was a good book for physics and its 5 bucks so I won't be wasting as much money if I'm not prepared in May.</p>

<p>So do I just read the textbook and do problems? I wanted to follow the online course on HippoCampus but the page numbers don't match up so I'm stuck on my own.</p>

<p>Just read through the textbook on your own, and study the topics the collegeboard says will be on the exam.
<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_physb.html?physicsb%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_physb.html?physicsb&lt;/a>
That site has most of the info about the actual test you'll need.</p>

<p>Find out who the AP coordinator at your school is and just ask them how it works if you want to take an exam on your own. </p>

<p>After you're finished with the textbook, I recommend getting a prep book. Princeton Review is making a book especially for physics b that comes out february i think, and that's what I'm getting. I'm in the same boat as you.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
