Is anyone else struggling in AP Physics C?

<p>So I just got my test score back today and it hit me that I really hate Physics C. I just received a 49 with a curve on a rotational inertia test. Well, I guess I can say that I don't hate the class, but I instead dislike the teacher for being absolutely terrible in everything that he does that has to do with teaching. I'm not a bad student by any means (Last year I got a 97 in honors physics, and I also got a 35 on ACT Science and a 31 on ACT math), but I feel like that I'm going to struggle to just pass the class. This really frustrates me because I'm planning on majoring in Civil Engineering. </p>

<p>Though I am doing good in Calculus BC (high B's and Low A's). </p>

<p>Is anyone else having the same problems as me, and can anyone maybe recommend some good self studying materials or videos? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>MIT has some nice 8.01 material you may want to check out.</p>

<p>I remember taking AP Physics C; I found it somewhat difficult to grasp the rotational concepts, but I ended up getting a 5. Then I took 8.012 at MIT (a harder version of 8.01) and got a 36% on my first test. Most of it was my fault; I decided to study harder and go to all lectures/recitations and do the practice tests, and my scores improved greatly. You may want to do the same.</p>
