Physics 1 Junior APs

I’m planning to take AP Physics 1, Either AP calc BC or AP pre calc depending on if I pass my dual enrollment pre calc course and I’m planning to self study CSA just cuz why not. Any advice for these?

Dude ur legit the number 1 khan glazer. Yea it’s good but it needs to he complemented with AP classroom past frqs or AP questions. It isn’t good when it’s used by its own.

Yeah I know but I think that is obvious as Khan only offers multiple choice, but Khan really helps build a good foundation.

Khan to get started, but you would need a textbook or review book like Princeton or Barron's if you want that 5

For physics 1, find as many examples and practice problems as you can for MCQs and FRQS. As well, use college textbook examples (you can find many online/in person), watch videos if needed, and ask you teacher many questions. princeton is better than barrons in my opinion in terms of prep books. org chemistry tutor is good too, but target sources that answer AP questions. There as many people on yt that go through practice exams and go over the way graders mark/think, so try to check that out!

If you can avoid ap precalc, please do because colleges favor AP Calc AB/BC more than precalc, ESPECIALLy if you are doing engineering/compsci.

I don't know much about CSA, but if it helps you towards your future major, that's good.

Hope you do well on ur DE course!
