Need book recommendation for difficult multiple choice problems

In summary, the person is looking for resources for difficult multiple choice questions on physics, specifically on topics such as motion, rotation, light, and electro-magnetics. They are looking for suggestions for an 18-year-old study group who are about to enter college for a BS degree in physics. One recommendation given is Lewis Epstein's 'Thinking physics'. However, the person also mentions that multiple guess problems are not a common format for physics questions post GCSE. They ask for any other helpful inputs.

Sry, being slow on the uptake I didn't spot the requirement for multiple guess problems.

I'm afraid that's not a common format for physics questions post GCSE, for a number of reasons.

I can recommend sources of challenging problems, but let's see if anyone else can be more directly helpful !
