Physics B!

<p>Arrggh, what a pain. I have done well in the class the entire year, especially first semester. I was so good at mechanics. Then we go to electricity and magnetism, and I didn’t really pay attention, so I’m trying to learn it all now. And even though I was good at mechanics, I have forgotten quite a bit (just specifics), and it really bugs me. There is way too much to remember for physics B. I feel much more confident with calculus and micro/macro econ. Anyone else having trouble with physics?</p>

<p>I’m using this site to study concepts: [Internet</a> Archive: Advanced Placement Physics B](<a href=“http://www.archive.org/details/ap_physics_b]Internet”>Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine)</p>

<p>I still do not feel that confident. Any tips/advice that would really help me? Is there a lot of optics and nuclear physics questions on the exam? My teacher has not really gone over them that much…</p>

<p>Optics makes up 10%
Atomic and Nuclear physics make up 10%</p>

<p>It’s okay to be unfamiliar with one, but being unfamiliar with both might be bad. 20% of the exam is a lot, and a lot of those questions would be easy (relatively) if you know the basics of it. Every point counts, so try to learn the stuff on your own if you want to do well, even if you only end up achieving a shallow understanding of it.</p>

<p>tbh optics and nuclear physics problems are one of the easier parts of the exam. Some quick review from PR or w/e study guide you’re using should set you up fine for those questions.</p>
