<p>I'm currently in "honors physics" and chose to take the AP Physics B exam. The I'm in doesnt cover a lot of the material on time such as modern physics and waves, light, optics. It doesnt cover thermodynamics, fluids, and some of E&M at all. It just takes the New York State Regents curriculum and teaches it at a college level. I've barely done anything to study... I did a little bit of fluids. Can someone provide advice I can use to conquer the exam? I really want a 5 lol, and I feel I have the potential to get one. It's just a lot of stuff to learn between now and then. Thanks.</p>
<p>Get a copy of Princeton's Cracking the AP Physics Exam and start covering topics quickly. I'm also in "honors physics" but I've only the Nuclear Physics left and a little bit of magnetism. How much do you still have to cover by the way?</p>
<p>So basically the honors physics is nothing like it?</p>
<p>We're just starting waves. We're going pretty slow, so I basically have to cover what we will be covering, plus more. Anyone use the Barrons book? Is it any good?</p>
<p>wow youre gonna have the hell of a time, but I wish you luck</p>
<p>I also reccomend the barrons book if you want to nail multipe chapters over 1 weekedn</p>
<p>PRisM, so Barron's is very good for quick review? Why, are the chapters short and easy to read through? I have PR and 5 steps to a 5. I'm thinking of reading 5 Steps cover to cover and doing many questions from both books as review. Does anyone else have any advice?</p>
<p>I'm in an actual AP Physics B course. Though last year, jsph89, I was in the same course as you (though in my school it's called Physics Enriched). I got a 98 on the regents (highest in my school)! I know this won't make you feel better at all, but while I though I was GREAT last year, Physics this year has been.... a heck of a ride; a real struggle. I think that w/o much effort I'll definitely score a 3, and if I review like I said I would, I'm definitely guaranteed a 4 (though I'm shooting for a 5). So we'll see.</p>
<p>If anyone else has some advice, please PM me or post here!! Thanks and good luck to you all!</p>

<p>I wouldn't say quick.</p>
<p>Hmm.... well I've got a number of other APs to prepare for, so I'm only willing for the most time-efficient methods. I've heard Barron's isn't that great of a text anyway...</p>
<p>Any suggestions (please refer to my previous post). Thanks in advance!</p>
