AP Physics C 2017

whole point of these quizzes is for you to determine where to focus your study.
It’s a common mistake to “study” by doing 20 problems on a topic on which you are already
comfortable. But that’s not studying ... that’s a waste of time. You don’t need to drill yourself on topics
you already understand! It’s also probably a mistake to attack what for you is the toughest concept in
physics right before the exam. Virtually every student has that one chapter they just don’t get, however
hard they try. That’s okay.
The fundamentals quizzes that you just took can tell you exactly what you should and should not study.
Did you give correct answers with full confidence in the correctness of your response? In that case,
you’re done with that topic. No more work is necessary. The place to focus your efforts is on the topics
where either you gave wrong answers that you thought were right, or right answers that you weren’t really
sure about.
Now, take the diagnostic test. Once you’ve used the fundamentals quizzes and diagnostic test to
identify the specific content areas you want to work on, proceed to the review in Chapters 9 – 20 . Read a
chapter, work through the examples in the chapter, and attempt some of the problems at the end of the
chapter. Then come back to these fundamentals quizzes. When you respond to every question confidently,
you are ready.
