AP Physics 2 Essentials: An APlusPhysics Guide

My child is in AP Pysics 2 and expressed some frustration with understanding some concepts - I got him this book and it is a good backup for in class instruction. He seems less frustrated and his grade has improved.

This is my second copy, I love these books. It is a very useful tool to study for the AP exams or refresh before a test. It is very easy to understand and gives good practice problems for studying.

Very interesting and well used technical information.

This book has the entire ap physics 2 curriculum, every topic is covered fully and in detail.

Amazing product!

good review for physics

Satisfied

I have taken AP Physics 1 in may 2014, and I received a Three. I realized after that that my studying process was off. I would always study the math, the equations, and the numbers of physics, but never the concepts - so once it came to the multiple choice, I was a failure. Now, I am studying for AP Physics C, and also AP Physics 2, and i can tell you this book is pretty good. I am understanding the concepts behind the gas laws, the constants of pressure and volume, and also the electricity and magnetism part is a good intro before you pull out the real AP Physics C book with calculus. Remember, formulas are great, but trust me, the AP physics multiple choice questions are more about the concepts underlying physics than mathematical problems. I believe this book does a little bit of both, and i would recommend it to most people. I would also recommend Cracking the AP Physics C Exam, 2015 edition. If i had studied the concepts, i most likely would have received a 4. I am working towards that 5 on AP Physics 2, and at least a 4 on AP Physics C: Mechanics.

Excellent, clear text with lots of examples. Great follow up to AP Physics 1. I use with my A Level physics class for extra examples and extensionwork

Good for highschool AP physics course
