5 out of 5 stars Great Companian Book   December 25, 2008
While I wouldn't at all recommend this book by itself, it helped a lot when I used it together with my AP Physics class.br /br /The problems were at the right level, I think, for the test, which couldn't be said for the book. It also explained some concepts in much simpler terms, which was a big help in getting my head around them, as opposed to my textbook.


3 out of 5 stars Not too sure about this book   April 20, 2008
My school district gave this book for free to every AP Physics B student. It was a generous offer, yet the book should have been a different one. This book isn't all that great; it isn't what a student would exactly look for. Each topic is explained very briefly, yet the practice questions are killers. The difficulty of the practice questions doesn't signify that it is good for the skill of the student, but rather they seem to serve confusion than thorough thinking. The questions are way above the level of the difficulty of the actual AP exam, and end up confusing the reader, and even the answer explanations don't give much help, not to mention the chapter reviews.br /br /If anything, this book is lacking experience. One is better getting The Princeton Review book, which offers many practice questions and sample questions, reinforces what's to know for the exam, and give detailed (yet not too detailed) chapter reviews.br /br /A true experience is that at one point my teacher even said some of the questions in the AP Advantage book were "bad" and too off target, and told us to skip a few questions while reviewing for a test. Again, this book lacks experience.br /br /Being the "latest AP review book in the market" is misleading. It might be a fresh outlook on the whole subject, but not enough to help one feel confident or score well on the exam. The Physics C book received good reviews, but this one is not detailed enough, and the author seems like he relies on one's background knowledge of Physics that he/she learns in class to solve his problems instead of his own explanations.


4 out of 5 stars Almost great.   June 7, 2007
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The questions in this book are terrific but the solutions are riddled with errors. A new edition with the solutions re-edited would make this a great book for use as a source of supplemental problems and review materials for any student enrolled in AP Physics B. Mooney's problems really get at the heart what is fundamentally important for a Physics B student to understand.
