AP Physics 1 Premium: With 4 Practice Tests (Barron's Test Prep)

My son learn a lot from the book

I used this book to try and learn AP Physics by myself, and I have a few gripes with it. It isn't worth trashing, but they are problems big enough for me to take two stars off.The solutions are there for the most part, but sometimes there are numerical errors or worse yet; vague explanations with no procedural demonstration.-One typo can be found on question 8 of page 75 in the kinematics section, which completely invalidates solution as a whole.The solutions can be summed up to a block of text spouting the general procedures, and it requires way more effort to derive the answers from the solution page(s).Despite my complaints with this book, I still wouldn't say that it's the worst product out there. I have definitely seen worse.

We purchased several different AP and SAT books and this book by Barron's was the worst. This book had a lot more typos than it should and didn't quite measure up to the others offered by different companies.

The number of typos leading to incorrect formulas is unacceptably high. Example, one of dozens on p 48: velocity = displacement vector over magnitude of displacement vector (delta x). I don’t think so, no - denominator should be delta t.

According to the College Board website, units 7-10 are dropped from the 2021 exam, but the book does not reflect this change. If you use this book, you will end up spending a lot of time on the contents that will not be tested.

Definitely would not recommend it. It isn't easy to follow and it doesn't follow the AP curriculum. I've used Princeton Review in the past and it is much better than this.

This was very helpful. Make sure you get the most recent edition.
