Cracking the AP Physics 1 Exam, 2019 Edition: Practice Tests & Proven Techniques to Help You Score a 5 (College Test Preparation)

The book is really helpful and helped me understand and review concepts effectively. It is a little more focused on the math section compared to the conceptual understanding of physics. Overall the concepts were expressed very clearly and concisely and the review problems at the end of each chapter were also helpful in assessing my ability and practicing the the concepts. I hope I can get a 5 using this!

Great book. I felt that this book prepared me very well for the ap test. It is well organized and easy to use.

I teach AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C at a public school. The AP Physics 1 exam is very different from any traditional physics exams. The AP 1 exam requires students to understand and explain concepts in paragraph responses rather than to solve problems mathematically, which is what all other physics courses (including AP Physics C) expect. While the topics in this book are aligned with AP Physics 1, it is better suited to a more traditional, problem-solving course. There are mathematical derivations that simply aren't part of the AP 1 standards. That doesn't mean that students won't learn from it, but the practice problems and tests emphasize problems solving and lack the, "What happens, and why?", types of questions that students will face on the real AP 1. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a textbook or prep book that emphasizes this sort of thinking and response.

The only thing that was actually needed in this book is the review questions. The other material didn’t help with it at all.

I bought this book for my teenager who actually used it unlike some of the other books that I had bought for him.

In great condition. Now the AP high school scholar just needs to pass the test.

Supplemented tutoring.

**Go with 5 Steps to a 5!! Much easier read, better practice, and is laid out much better**Meh. I ended up not using this book for AP Review, as study sessions, practice tests and other review guides were much more effective. The book is alright for just review, but the problems are much harder than they should be, and just waste your time. My teacher took a look at it and she said there was even AP Physics 2 problems in there.

The product had that old book smell of parchment or weak paper.
