For anyone who has taken the Physics AP B Exam.

<p>Are the M/C questions more of conceptual questions or problem-solving questions that actually require you to work the problem out with math? For example in Princeton Review's Book, there are many conceptual questions on the sample m/c. </p>

<p>Btw, are the PR's test questions Very or somewhat similar to those on the real AP exam? Are they harder than the Exam? Is Princeton Review the way to go for Physics B? Are there any other good books that go more in-depth in sections such as Kepler's Laws (only like 2 pgs on this)? </p>

<p>Can anyone give me advice on what exactly I should study? Should I just practice, practice, and practice more + memorize equations? Should I go in-depth in the meaning of all of the equations and concept parts? Will I be able to get a 4 or 5 if I just remember all of the equations??? I'm not sure what exactly it takes for someone to get a 4+ Thanks!!</p>

<p>Is anyone taking the exam??</p>

<p>I haven't taken the test yet, but from what I've gathered from other people and books, a lot of test is filled with conceptual questions and minor solving problems (that don't require a calculator). Basically, you need to make sure you know all the concepts well, all important equations, and everything. They might ask you a random question like "What does burnoilli's equation represent" and then give worded answer choices that all seem right unless you know the formula.</p>

<p>My teacher says Kaplan is the best, followed by Princeton. Use whichever one i seuppose</p>

<p>here is a real MC question from the Physics B 1998 exam: please don't ask were I got them from, and no I will not send you the exam.: </p>

<ol>
<li>A concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 1.0 m is used to collect light from a distant star. The distance between the mirror and the image of the star is most nearly
a. 0.25 m b. 0.50 m c. 0.75 m d. 1.0 m e. 2.0 m</li>
</ol>

<p>26: B</p>

<p>So judge for yourself what Review book question this actual question is of greater similarity.</p>

<p>PR is decent. the only MC practice I took outside of class was a MC test out of PR. didn't do too hot on it, but gave me an idea of my weaknesses and strengths. took the ap last year and got a 5.</p>

<p>I remember the ap MC having more solving question than I had anticipated (I was tight on time), but I'd say conceptual questions consisted of a signficant portion and are good questions to ease through and conserve time on if you know it.</p>
