<p>Barrons is what I'm looking at, but a general answer would be appreciated as well.
So, what's the difference between AP Physics B preparation and SAT II Physics preparation? I'm guessing the material are different considering the fact brands have books for both of them.</p>
<p>I'll be taking SAT II Physics in the fall, and possibly AP Physics B in the spring.
Which is the better book to buy?</p>
<p>sorry… the title is just supposed to say “Phyiscs…” not Physics II. lol</p>
<p>They are completely different tests, so you should get books for both. If you had to choose only one, though, you should get one for the SAT since you’re not taking a course to prepare for it.</p>
<p>I’m not sure whether this is just regarding the specific tests that I took, but the SAT II test had more questions on lens and mirrors. Also, the AP test had a ridiculous number of electricity/magnetism questions, while the SAT II didn’t as much. I used Barrons for the AP exam, and it didn’t help as much as I wanted with the e/m subjects.</p>
