Cracking the AP: Physics B & C ExamsThe Princeton Review realizes that acing the AP Physics exam is very different from getting straight As in school. The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about physics--only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the AP Physics B & C, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and - Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool test takers - Improve scores by knowing in advance what physics topics are most likely to be tested - Memorize complicated physics concepts using simple techniques - Ace the free-response section by practicing on TPR's sample questions This book includes 2 full-length, simulated AP Physics B & C exams. All of The Princeton Review practice test questions are like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained. |
