AP Physics 1 Premium, 2023: 4 Practice Tests + Comprehensive Review + Online Practice
Genres: Physics
Book Preface
In this review book, you will find all the material you need to review and prepare for the AP Physics 1 exam, a first-year precalculus course. This book is a newly updated, targeted, and enriched version of Barron’s AP Physics 1, including the 2021 College Board update regarding the new scope of their exam.
Each chapter has review questions that vary in style and level of difficulty. These are intended to test your level of understanding of the review material. Some of these chapter questions may be easier, harder, or in a slightly different style from the actual AP exam as they are limited to the content of that particular chapter. Likewise, each chapter has a mix of traditional problem-solving examples as well as the more text-based and conceptual type of questions that appear on the AP Physics 1 exam. The tests, on the other hand, are broad in scope and draw from several different content areas at once. Included in this book, as well as online, are several full-length practice tests that mirror the actual AP exams in style, content, and difficulty. All questions have full solutions and explanations provided. Before the review chapters is a diagnostic test that can be used for practice or to guide you specifically to certain content areas you may need to review before the AP exam. Additional problem-solving strategies are provided throughout the book.
I would like to thank my many students through the years who have made my job as a physics teacher a real joy. Also, I especially want to thank my wife, Irene, for her support throughout this project.

How to Use This Book
Diagnostic Test
First, take the Diagnostic Test to gain an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Read the answer explanations for all questions, as they provide valuable insight into correct and incorrect answers. Refer to the Answer Key to identify the areas you need to brush up on. Here you can find the Topic and Chapter numbers that correspond to each of the questions in the Diagnostic Test.
Review and Practice
This book’s review chapters that align with the curriculum for the AP Physics 1 course. You may find it helpful to read the text along with your textbook when you are first learning the material and studying for course exams, or you may choose to read the chapters together as a review after you have completed most of your AP Physics 1 course. By answering the practice questions that follow each chapter, you will be able test your learning as you progress through the book.
Practice Tests
The final section of the book offers the opportunity to take two full-length practice tests that include all question types found on the actual exam. A comprehensive answer explanation is provided for each question.
Online Practice
In addition to the diagnostic test and two practice tests within this book, there are also two full-length online practice exams. You can take these exams in practice (untimed) mode or in timed mode. All questions include answer explanations.
