Im going to make this quick
High School Student currently in AP Physics 1 with strong math background(Currently in Calc BC)
Problem: Consistently stuck at a B+ no matter how much practice
Goal: Try to reach at-least an A-
Issue: I find tests consist of materials that I haven't practiced before and I have no access to past tests or practice tests that test simliar material.

I find tests consist of materials that I haven't practiced before and I have no access to past tests or practice tests that test simliar material.

If you intend to pursue a career in physics this is the type of test you will most likely face again and again something that is not quite what you have encountered before. The questions will draw on knowledge gleaned from other problems. You will be asked to demonstrate your understanding by using that knowledge in new situations. That is what separates the A's from the B's.

You will need to strive for a fuller understanding of the principles. You may say that you understand the principles but your issues say something different. Perhaps reading different presentations (texts) will provide insights and improve your understanding.
