Hi! Feel free to yell at me if this is the wrong forum; I'm a little new at this.

I'm self-studying AP Physics 1 and 2 this year, and so far it's going quite well! My only fear is that, because I don't have a specific AP Physics teacher, there may be something really important about the test/subject/etc. that goes right over my head!

So, to any AP Physics alumni/teachers out there: Do you have any advice for someone in my situation? Any resources/tips that could be helpful, etc.?

Please and thank you!
