<p>I'm taking the Physics subject test in October. I took honors physics last year, but the course wasn't very comprehensive. I'm hoping to self study it over the summer for the subject test. However, I went to the bookstore and the only books available were for AP Physics C. I grabbed a PR one and a Barron's one and figured it would be fine. I looked through the Sparknotes one online and the topics seemed very similar to the ones in both books.</p>

<p>Is Physics C the same as the subject test? Can I use the books that I bought or should I buy one specifically for subject tests?</p>

<p>Physics B is basically the same as the SAT II. Physics C is not.</p>

<p>Oh darn. Even if I ignored all of the calculus included in Physics C, it would still be too different? </p>

<p>I guess I should go return those books Dx…</p>
