Grantmom Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Any advice or tips for purchasing a couple of AP Physics C Exam Review books? When did the exam last change? The Barron's book on Amazon was from Feb 1, 2016, so I was wondering if that was still relevant. DS is not sure if he feels prepared for the E&M portion, but feels much better about the Mechanics exam. Is anyone else taking both? Just one or the other? Would love to hear the Hive's thoughts!

Arcadia Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 For AP Physics C, this was what I found so a 2016 edition for test prep should be up to date already. "Familiarize yourself with the multiple-choice scoring change that was implemented in May 2011." http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/courses/teachers_corner/2264.html http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/courses/teachers_corner/2263.html For test prep, look at snowbeltmom's post http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/629912-ap-physics-at-pah/?p=7316801 This thread is full of useful information from Kathy in Richmond on the subject and the exams http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/97907-ap-physics-c/ For keeping track of when AP exams are launch and revised https://advancesinap.collegeboard.org/overview "Subject Launches by Year 2011-12 AP French Language and Culture AP German Language and Culture AP World History (course revisions only) 2012-13 AP Biology AP Latin AP Spanish Literature and Culture 2013-14 AP Chemistry AP Spanish Language and Culture 2014-15 AP Physics 1 AP Physics 2 AP Seminar AP U.S. History 2015-16 AP Art History AP European History AP Research 2016-17 AP Calculus AB (course and exam updates) AP Calculus BC (course and exam updates) AP Computer Science Principles AP World History (course and exam revisions) 2018-19 AP U.S. Government and Politics" Obviously my kids have not BTDT for the AP exams even though I have a physics loving kid :). If your son is taking the SAT physics test after his AP Physics C exams, we are liking this thin collegeboard test prep book for checking for knowledge gaps and quick revision. https://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-Physics-Study-College/dp/1457309211 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
