<p>Hey! 
@9penn9 , If you have 6 months, I think it’s very manageable. Don’t be scared.
For me, my school syllabus prepared me well enough for the test. 6 months is a ton of time. I’m not really familiar with U.S. high school courses, but I did a quick Google search of honors physics topics and I’d say you’re on the right track. Trust me the pattern of the questions and the types of question are repeated. Even when I first went through the collegeboard website questions, I was kind of taken aback. Get a review book. Hands down best way to prepare. I was lucky to get my hands on Barrons,Princeton and Kaplan. </p>
<p>Kaplan is not really useful and LEAVES a lot out that you need to know for the test. There are barely any practice questions at the end of each chapter and you can’t get familiar with the concepts. </p>
<p>Princeton is the best, syllabus wise, it’s spot on. It’s a great book with good practice tests, and practice questions, examples. However some explanations were kind of short for me.</p>
<p>I kind of preferred Barron’s though, out of all 3. It does have a little extra stuff, but it covers everything on the test, and the explanations are pretty thorough and detailed. The examples and practice questions are explained well.
People tend to say Barron’s has a lot of extra stuff, but it doesn’t. Lately the test has become a bit harder i guess.
I just took the test yesterday and there was a question that included an equation on relativity. Barrons mentioned it, but said that the equations are not likely to come on the test. Kaplan and Princeton don’t even mention it.</p>
<p>Overall I’d say that you should get a hold of both Princeton and Barrons for your prep.</p>
<p>Feel free to ask me anymore questions :)</p>
