Test Preparation AP Sciences
1

<p>hi all, </p>

<p>for those of you who have taken AP Physics 1 (or B, whatever its called), which test prep book did you think was the best? I'm looking to buy mine soon and use it as a supplemental resource as I take the class throughout the year.</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>It’s the only review book besides 5 steps to a 5 (which is awful and I would never recommend it) available right now. Princeton review comes out in January, and that will probably be good. 5 steps is very brief, and for a brand new exam youre going to want a more thorough book like the one I linked, or you can wait until january for the PR.</p>

<p>@giraffeinatree‌, how would you rate the book you are using right now from 0-10, and why?</p>

<p>Also, would PR be worth the wait, or should I go with the one by Dan Fullerton which is out right now?</p>

<p>Sorry for the late reply, but I think the one I have now is ALRIGHT. Probably a 6 on a scale of 1-10, its a bit wordy and its explanations arent always clear but its a very good supplement to class. Better than 5 steps though. 5 steps is extremely brief. If you plan on using it throughout the year get the Dan fullerton one, otherwise wait for PR which I imagine will be better. PR usually is pretty good in physics.</p>

<p>Okay, I will just wait for PR :slight_smile: Thank you so much, @giraffeinatree‌ !</p>

<p>just so you know. Dan Fullerton is a teacher who has a 100% 4-5 rate. He also has his own website and youtube videos that are very helpful. He also has a video lecture series on educator.com that is top notch and probably compliments the book alot.</p>
