<p>I am taking AP Physics B in school, and I am strongly considering taking both C exams as well. I've heard that most of the review books are not very good for C; so, if any of you have self studied AP Physics C, here are my questions:</p>
<p>-Should I even get a textbook, and if so, what are some good ones?
-What review book(s) should I get, and would these be a sufficient supplement to the AP Physics B curriculum?
-Will self studying take a massive amount of time, or is it relatively easy?</p>
<p>I took Physics B last year but my school doesn’t offer Physics C, so I’m currently using Princeton Review, which has clear explanations and extensive (although more difficult) problems. I’m considering buying the Barron’s later on for more practice.</p>
<p>I finished Mechanics rather fast; my AP Physics B class covered the majority of mechanics topics, so there were only few I had to learn on my own.</p>
<p>Electricity and magnetism is harder; calculus is used more in E&M so I’m learning most of those topics on my own.</p>
<p>Yeah, I use the Physics for Scientists and Engineers one and I was able to get a very nice one off amazon for like $5 It’s a great book and definitely doesn’t have as many mistakes as the Barron’s one does.</p>
