<p>I know the consolidated review book suggestion book is posted -> and it recommends Barrons for Physics C; however, I have heard mixed reviews about it. I've been told it has a good amount of errors and at times is unnecessarily hard. So if you have any experience which one would you recommend for physics? I usually don't bother with review books but I'm just falling behind significantly in physics.</p>
<p>I used the Princeton when I self-studied. I got me 5s…</p>
<p>A note for ALL prep books is that the practice questions are never going to be similar enough to actual AP questions - the best way to practice is obviously by using the official released questions.</p>
<p>I have experience with all of the following prep books:</p>
<p>Princeton Review & Barron’s are both very thorough and will serve you well for both simple and complicated material. They vary in style of presentation, so choose based on your personal taste - PR may be a little more talkative and thus “easier” to read, but some people enjoy the straightforward way Barron’s usually is.</p>
<p>5 Steps to a Five simplifies things very well - but it will not teach you the complicated materials. It is too concise and perhaps over-simplified, but very easy to understand. Therefore, it is a handy book to gain a basic understanding of the material. (Note: Thin book that supposedly covers both B & C - obviously too concise.)</p>
<p>Finally, AP Advantage: Physics C by Mooney (a fairly obscure book, I suppose) is thorough, but can be difficult to understand. It sometimes skips algebraic steps, and does not explain any calculus. However, if you have a thorough understanding of calculus, I believe this book would be very understandable. (Note: This book is printed on white paper, not the grey recycled paper, and is fairly thin.)</p>
<p>A combination of 5 Steps & Barron’s or 5 Steps & PR would be an excellent choice, or if you study with friends, you can have a collective library of all of these books.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input, I’ll look into those suggestions.</p>
