<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I'm in 12th grade right now - but that's because 11th grade ended in January (I don't live in the US) - I'm applying for college next year. So this is like junior year if looked at time-left-wise. I'm self-studying for the Calculus BC and Physics C exams. So far I've done Calculus from Apostol's book till the logarithms part (just have Taylor series, trig. substitution and a little exponential stuff) and Resnick And Halliday till Inductance (got AC Currents and Maxwell's equations left), and also watched Walter Lewin's MIT OCW videos on the same topics. Mechanics I've done last year and I'm pretty good with. Unfortunately I have some exams in school right now, so I'll have to study for those. They end on March 27th. I can't do any AP stuff till then.</p>

<p>The problem is, I've just done textook stuff - never any AP-specific questions practice. Is it possible to do all the required practice in like a few days after 27th and still get a 5 on both tests?</p>

<p>It’s way past March 27th. Do you mean April 27th?</p>

<p>Woops, yes, April 27th.</p>

<p>I can’t edit my post now for some reason. :/</p>

<p>search these forums for “Official 2010 AP Calculus BC Study Thread” and “Official 2010 Physics C Study Thread”. They have past AP exams on them. Good Luck!</p>

<p>^He won’t be able to get through all of them though in the few days he has to prepare.</p>

<p>That only gives you about a week to get ready. That really isn’t a realistic amount of time to prepare, sorry.</p>

<p>I’ll try my best anyway. :slight_smile: I just have to do AP-specific practice now - I’ve done the exercises out of Apostol’s and Resnick/Halliday’s books. In fact the FRQs look awesome - I guess practice will be fun. I’m doing this more for the learning experience anyway (I’m curious how circuts etc. work because I’m into software programming and want to see the physical reality that the abstract interfaces I use bases for writing programs (even in ASM) are based upon).</p>

<p>Thanks for your help! :-)</p>
