Self-Studying For AP Physics C

Test Preparation AP Sciences

I’m a junior currently taken taking AP Physics 1, and I plan to take the AP Physics C Mech. test. I have a calculus-based physics book that’s on the list of approved texts for Physics C, and I’m taking AP Calculus AB. I have a few questions:

  1. Is any calculus required for Physics C Mech. that is not taught in AP Calculus AB?
  2. How much more material is included in Physics C Mech. than in Physics 1, and how difficult is that material?
  3. What some good review materials for Physics C Mech.?

I’m doing the same thing, except I took AB last year. There’s a large crossover, but most of the calculus involved is something like Impulse changing from F * (delta t) to to integral of force with respect to time. Go to aplusphysics.com for extremely helpful videos and look at the course overview on the collegeboard website
