<p>I am taking Honors Physics at my school this year. Most people taking this class are in Pre-Calc and I am going into Calc II, so i figured self-studying both parts of Physics C would be a good idea. I was just curious on how much study time it would take and what materials I would need.</p>
<p>I was planning on getting a textbook (because I actually want to learn it) and a review book, so any reccomendations would be appreciated. I currently have 3 hours and 40 minutes set aside per week starting at the end of august. Is that enough?</p>
<p>I’ve done a lot of research on the best textbooks. I’m in the same situation as you are in, and I’ve started studying already. </p>
<p>If you want to build a solid base in physics (maybe if you want to compete in olympiads or go into engineering) I suggest Physics by Halliday, Resnick, and KRANE. </p>
<p>If you want a 5 the simplest way you can, I suggest Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker. I’ve heard great things about University Physics by Freedman and College Physics by Serway as well. It doesn’t take a super good textbook to get a 5.</p>
<p>Your schedule should be enough to get a 5, especially if you’ve mastered Honors Physics.</p>
<p>Bump… any ideas on prep books to use too?</p>
