Hello,

I'm looking at the moment for past papers for the AP Physics B exam (apart from the ones in www.collegeboard.com). If any of you have anything to offer or know somebody please pm me. I need practice questions as I have not been doing great lately on the course.

Thank you!

Doesn't Barnes and Noble have books on AP classes/tests? I'm sure there might be some there with very similar problems.

You should first grasp the concepts of what you need to know. I took AP Physics around 4-5 years ago and I did average. Once I hit college, they do NOT test you on how to plug in 9.8 m/s^2 into an equation, rather test you on how well you can tie together concepts to arrive at the solution. I finally realized that's what they did and succeed in Physics I/II.
