AP® Physics 1 Crash Course Book + Online: Get a Higher Score in Less Time (Advanced Placement (AP) Crash Course) Pap/Psc Edition

In the words of my son...This book was a true life saver for me for the AP Physics 1 Exam. My class course did not properly prepare me for the exam, and I lacked enough knowledge of a lot of what I should have known. I did not think that a book with so few calculations would be useful, but in fact it was the opposite, since it turns out that there are little to no calculations on the AP Physics 1 Exam. This book goes through step by step explanations of every topic covered on the exam, and stresses points that are vital for understanding, and will likely appear on the exam. I really felt like I was being taught the class just by reading the book. Also, the book points to various equations which are not on the given equation sheet, but are still incredibly useful and often necessary for using on the exam.The online practice test was also pretty good, but a little bit inconvenient since I prefer being able to write on the exam. Also, chapter 11 on waves and sounds has very confusing and contradicting information which is entirely different from other books.Other than that, this book was the best book that I have used, and helped me earn a 4 on the AP exam, despite not being properly taught in class.

I just finished the AP physics I exam and this book is useless. My friends and I got 4 books and used them to practice for the test. This book was the weakest by far. Use it if you hope to get a 3, certainly not for a 4 or a 5 on the AP physics test. Lacks content and has poor explanations. Not up the quality or content of other AP physics 1 books.

My granddaughter, a junior in high school, asked for this book. She says it has been very helpful and totally appreciated that I remembered to get it for her! What more can a grandma ask for, right?

Good study material.

It is a great book. The explanations are specific, make it easier to review in a short period of time.

Help my daughter a lot

The book is way shorter and contains much less content than I expected. It barely gave any information on concepts. It does not give examples that are solved completely. I'm confident that there are better options out there.

Good review of topics covered in AP Physics 1
