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.

No. But I mainly want challenging questions for practice

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
