At this point, we assume that you have been building your physics knowledge base for more than six
months (if you’re a Physics C student, you’ve probably been studying physics for more than a year). You
will, therefore, use this book primarily as a specific guide to the AP Physics exam. Given the time
constraints, now is not the time to try to expand your AP Physics knowledge. Rather, you should focus on
and refine what you already do know.
