It's most probably the concepts. I've seen it myself. I will say, AP is not hard. Some countries have compulsory courses in Physics, Chem and Maths which are much-much harder then AP. I've seen most people struggling on how to apply the concept. They know what is friction, what is force etc...

Thanks for the information. Although, my country is totally engineering bent. It's up to the extent where to get into IIT's, an engineering School, students start preparing from class VIth. The extent of level of preparation reaches, most nearly, the pinnacle of 2nd year of UG in the West...

Would you mind telling' me about that University. My parents and I had a long argument a while back about Physics. That ended with them challenging me to get 1500+ in SAT and they'll send me anywhere I want, which accidentally, happened. So, in a few days I'm going to apply for Universities.

Thanks for the replies. I've done a bit research. I found out that my courses in school are on par with AP courses in American Schools. I've also done some 'competitive books' which I think, covers stuff with "MUCH" more breadth than the AP courses. I'll try lord Zz's recommendations for now.

Sir, Ahem. Didn't mean it like that. There's a bit difference in the US high-school and my country's high-school. So the starting points are a bit strange. The lack of resources meant, I was not very suited to resources provided at the start. Thus, this thread was a means to clarify what I need...

I am not a JEE Enthusiast. However, I think I can recommend you on the basis of what I've seen a few teachers using. I've always believed that cracking a competitive exam requires a different skill set than a person learning Science. Halliday, Resnick and Walker or Young and Freedman, although...

I've done Young and Freedman too(I bought one from trash-seller for a dollar :p). So I want a book that takes me to the next step.

So, I've tried the Thomson's book and I feel I would be able to do it. Moving, any book recommendation for Physics?

I might be able to help. But, I'd like to know what quality of resources you're looking for. If it's high school, what sort of exam you're preparing for?

I think we both got confused there. I thought you were recommending me some book and the name didn't come by mistake. I can solve Resnick. As I said, I thought you were talking about some other book. Confusing..

The book name didn't come. I think there is some mistake there. I'll try Thomas Calculus for now. Anyway, I come in poor section(compared to avg. US employee) so I think getting a good financial aid might not be very tough. Thanks I read this one, btw, it's more like a journal and there's not...

I apologize for asking a question that has been asked trillions of times. I've searched the PF for many links, however, I didn't find something good. Let's suppose, a person named Arthur. This guy is a 12th grade student. He is able to do Halliday Resnick Walker. He has slight background in...

Good luck. I have the same fate as you. Although, in my country, the future for Physics undergraduate is 'zero'. Definitely, 'Zero.' It's below poverty line... (Seriously). Even then, definitely, I'm going to pick up Physics along with some other Engineering course and survive a dual-major...

Thank You. Anything else worth looking to?

Hello, I am a high-school student. I'll be going to a college next year. I've decided to pick up Physics as a major. The employment sector, for physics, is not as rich as Engineering sector. Due to parents, who only wish to see me succeed, I've planned to pick up one other Engineering Major...
