I don't understand physics, and I have an exam in a few days. I was sitting down to study, but I didn't understand anything.

What should I do now?😭

How am I supposed to study the ncert textbooks of physics and chem of class 11? i don't understand anything

Im going to be self-studying Physics 1 on Khan academy & youtube( Flipping Physics & Organic chemistry tutor) , since where i live the schools don't teach AP, & the reason why i'm taking AP is because i'm hoping to study abroad. ( & i'll also be self-studying bio ,chem & calc AB after i'm done with physics 1)

My question is are there any worthy books / sources to study from that actually teach the physics 1 units?

I am jumping straight to AP physics C this year, without taking physics 1, I took AP calc AB last year, got a 5. My teacher only posted summer work for students who took AP physics one who haven’t taken calculus, what would be good to review to prepare for C?

Is Flipping Physics cover the entire curriculum for both AP Physics Cs? Thanks!

I heard many people saying that princeton one is just right, whereas barrons one is just a bit harder then the real test.

One doubt, why is the princeton review one almost as twice as thick as the barrons one? For other subjects, the thickness of the books are just similar…

I wasn’t confident after the exam, so seeing a 5 felt unreal. Huge thanks to IITian Academy AP Physics 1 for their notes and practice questions that made my preparation so much easier.

The whole year I had a terrible AP Physics 1 teacher who did not prep the class at all so I was forced to basically self studying if I wanted anything above 1 or 2. AMA about study materials, units, anything and I’ll try to help.

Mechanics I can understand because I took AP Physics 1 last year, and there is a lot of carry over. But E&M? I both started and finished learning the content the day before the test-- and sure, I devoted the entire day, probably 8 or 9 hours straight, to learning it, but how in the world coud that deserve a 4? Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. I am now graduated, but over the years I've become more and more convinced that Trevor simply rolls a dice to decide your score.

So, my physics teacher was kinda ahh. I think that goes for a lot of people.

He- thankfully- understood all the content for the most part. Explaining the math was where it got dodgy (he’s a bio teacher first).

We’d get a lecture like, once a week, and the other days we just had to teach ourselves, mostly through labs he gave us.

A bunch of kids just gave up. There was a senior wide brawl stars club in the back of the class.

For the last semester, he did lock in a bit more, and got the class back on track, ish.

Afaik, the last time he taught physics, it was a 50% pass rate (3+).

I’m mainly shooting for UCs, and I discovered it isn’t even approved 😭. So it won’t bump my gpa despite getting A’s. Thats how rough the class was.

So getting a 4 after that year is legitness

If anyone has PDFs of AP 2026 Barrons, could you please send them?
