<p>So should I focus on thermal/fluids or waves/optics?</p>
<p>Please, can anyone give me some advice? I'm soo worried about how I'll do.</p>
<p>Focus on Waves, then thermal/fluids, and then optics. Waves are pretty important to know as they tie in to later concepts as well in modern physics...</p>
<p>Nuclear physics, while only a small part of the exam, is not very difficult and would take you like an hour to go over, so that might be worth it.</p>
<p>Of the other topics, I'm not sure. We just started going over past AP exams, so I'm not sure which would be better to know. I would probably do waves first, then fluids.</p>
<p>Wow I thought that all schools finished the material by the end of third quarter. I would recommend buying Barron's for the content, PR for review questions, and The Cartoon Guide to Physics for concept review. Plan out a schedule with these three. Good luck!</p>
<p>okay should I focus more on depth or breadth? should I start reviewing old chapters or just keep learning new stuff? I've gone briefly over waves, sound, mirrors, fluid mechanics so far. I have the atmoic nuclear phsyics left, thermal and much of optics left. so yeah. thanks!</p>
<p>Use this chart w/percentages... If I were you, I would really focus on what you already know and work on doing those best. Don't focus too much on nuclear - just skim it. But thermal and optics are a must. The open ended is bound to have them.</p>
