I desire to self study Physics, need a source for practice problems?

AI Thread Summary
A freshman pre-med student is preparing for the MCAT, scheduled for early junior year, despite not having formal physics coursework until then. They are self-studying using an AP Physics textbook but find it lacking in problem-solving resources, as it only provides solutions for a limited number of questions. The student seeks challenging practice questions to enhance their understanding and mastery of the material, expressing a preference to reserve specific MCAT prep resources for later stages of their study. Suggestions for alternative resources, such as Schaum's Outline to College Physics, are mentioned but not yet explored by the student.

I am a freshman (ore med). My curriculum does not have physics until junior year of college. I want to take the MCAT at the beginning of junior year. I am reading the AP Physics textbook of my high school (I didn't actually take AP Physics, I just bought the textbook) and while I am learning a lot from it, it only gives the solution of a handful of problems at the end of the book. Also, I don't want to get 1001 MCAT Physics questions by Examcrackers because I want to use that once I master the material in order to use it to perfect myself.

Have you tried Schaum's Outline to College Physics?
 
No. But I mainly want challenging questions for practice
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
