<p>Right now I'm taking a "Honors Physics" class from the same teacher who teaches AP Physics at my school, I've talked to my friends and found out that we are pretty much always studying the exact same things in class. Do you think it would be safe to study what I've learned there and go into the exam with that? or should I cough up money to buy another prep book.</p>
<p>Is the Honors Physics class using the same textbook as the AP Physics textbook? And you might need to cough up some money to buy a prep book.</p>
<p>Nah, the AP class uses a book that is made by the same people that made our book, but our book is newer.</p>
<p>What the title of your physics textbook and who’s the author?</p>
<p>Physics: Second Edition</p>
<p>Giambattista, Richardson, Richardson</p>
<p>Mcgraw Hill</p>
<p>Your book appears to cover most of the same concepts as AP Physics does… but most honors physics courses do that. The issue is, it is not being covered NEARLY as in-depth as the AP curriculum requires. From looking at the online sample chapter provided for your textbook, you’re going to need significantly more prep if you want to take the AP exam and actually do well.</p>
<p>Yeah, the textbook is AP/College level. Buy a prep book (recommended is PR) so that you could be familiar with the AP exam and go to apcentral.collegeboard.com and practice doing the FR questions to know what they’re like.</p>
