Hey,
I just joined the forum since I have a few troubles studying for the AP Physics B exam. My school teaches only Physics I, which hardly goes into any detail of the topics covered in AP Phys B exam. To make it worse, they hardly touch fluid/thermodynamics and not much detail into optics/waves either. So, I basically have to teach myself everything.
Still, just out of curiosity and to get college credit, I am the only one so far in whole school to take the Phys B exam. Our Salutatorian took it last year and that was it. So, I am feeling overwhelmed by the concepts and the depth of the subject.
Basically, I want to know that for the multiple choice part, do I really have to remember these 500 equations and how each law works and stuff? I basically get the concept and can explain it, but I am having problems synchronizing the formulas and laws.
Can you all give me guidance on how to make this easier? By the way, my school uses the book Physics by Wilson Buffa and Lou. So, I am just literally reading off the book without doing much problems as they take too much time and it's too much. So I also need recommendation as to which book to buy for review after I am done. Princeton or Barron's?
Thanks
