Should I Use Irodov and Resnick, Halliday, Walker for AP Physics C Self-Study?

AI Thread Summary
Solving problems from Irodov and Halliday, Resnick, and Walker is considered beneficial for mastering AP Physics C: Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism. Self-studying students are encouraged to utilize resources like Schaum's General Physics or comprehensive problem-solving books for efficient learning. Recommendations include Barron's and Princeton Review for practice problems, with Barron's suggested for those with more time. Halliday, Resnick, and Krane's textbook is noted as a strong resource, with any edition deemed suitable for preparation. Additional websites for practice problems include simonster.com and hippocampus.org.

Is it advisable to solve problems from Irodov and Resnick , Halliday , Walker for AP PHYSICS C :MECHANICS AND ELECTRICITY & MAGNETISM ?
I am self-studying, so any website links to practice problems(except Collegeboard) will be really helpful, please.

Thank you.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Can somebody please reply?
Thank you.
 
If you want problems and solutions, then just get something like Schuam's General Physics or one of those 3000-problems-worked/solved-in-physics books. Those are probably the fastest way to learn the material.
 
I recommand Barron's and Princeton Review's. If you got the time, use barron's, otherwise use Princeton Review.
 
ive heard that halliday resnick krane is better than walker. I plan to buy it this summer to prepare myself for physics c. The book name is "physics." Any edition of it should be good.heres some websites:
