Hello,

I'm looking at the moment for past papers for the AP Physics B exam (apart from the ones in www.collegeboard.com). If any of you have anything to offer or know somebody please pm me. I need practice questions as I have not been doing great lately on the course.

Thank you!

Doesn't Barnes and Noble have books on AP classes/tests? I'm sure there might be some there with very similar problems.

You should first grasp the concepts of what you need to know. I took AP Physics around 4-5 years ago and I did average. Once I hit college, they do NOT test you on how to plug in 9.8 m/s^2 into an equation, rather test you on how well you can tie together concepts to arrive at the solution. I finally realized that's what they did and succeed in Physics I/II.

As a fellow scientist, I understand the importance of practice and preparation for exams. I recommend checking with your teacher or professor for additional resources, as they may have access to past exams or practice questions. You could also try reaching out to other students or study groups who have taken the exam in the past. Additionally, some educational websites or forums may have past exams available for review. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep working hard and good luck on your exam!
