<p>I'm taking honors physics next year, and right now, I'm a total novice at physics. I want to take the AP exam (Physics C) at the end of the year just to test my abilities. Which review books are good for AP Physics, but also contain basic physics for me to learn as a newbie? I have decent math skills and will be taking mvc next year, so the calculus applications won't be a huge problem.</p>
<p>I took AP Physics as a class, so I didn’t use a book, but the most helpful thing for me was doing the FRQs on AP Central. They’re indispensible for giving you a feel for what the questions typically ask for and have authentic examples of the experiment-based questions that can be harder than conceptual ones. </p>
