The Princeton Review AP Physics Prep book is an amazing resource to prepare for the AP exam. I used this prep book to get an A in the class and prepare for my exam. This prep book offers a comprehensive review of key concepts with thorough explanations of everything.
One of my favorite things about this book is that the book presents complex physics concepts in a simplified and digestible way, making it easier for students to grasp difficult topics. Since AP Physics 1 places heavy emphasis on conceptual understanding rather than memorization, this book effectively reinforces core principles through explanations and problem-solving techniques.
I would rate this book a four out of five because while the book covers major topics well and gives lots of practice questions, more practice with lab-based and graph interpretation questions would be beneficial, given that the AP Physics 1 exam emphasizes experimental design and data analysis.
