 Good review book July 6, 2010

For the AP test, you can study only this and still get a 4 on the exam. Overall a great review book.
highly recommended but get the correction sheet! May 5, 2010

My son used this book to brush up prior to the test and found it to be extremely useful. There are seventeen chapters each with worked examples and then a chapter review at the end of each comprising both multiple choice and 'free response' questions. Each chapter with the chapter review questions takes maybe ninety minutes to complete so you can get through the whole book quite comfortably in a week.
The material is very clear and easy to follow. The examples make sense, they are concise but complete. My only problem with the book is that it has errors. We contacted the publisher who provided a list of corrections by email but nevertheless I expected better checking given the subject matter. On the list we received there were thirteen corrections, most of them typographical.
So in summary: it's a very helpful book but be sure to email the publisher for the list of corrections.
 Great guide :) April 26, 2010

I'm currently a student enrolled in AP Physics B and I've been using this book as a reference throughout the entire year. Compared to numerous other physics guides for the AP, this book teaches much more closely with the AP style and type for the questions. Also, my teacher, who has passing percentages much, much higher than the national average each year, has recommended this book far more than any other AP Physics B guide.
One thing I noticed this year was that there was an extra page in the Work, Energy, and Power section that was not in the 2009 version. I haven't checked the rest of the book, but this page specifically goes over a specific type of question.
The best AP Physics book December 1, 2009

This Princeton Review AP Physics B book is very concise and accurate. I use it as a reference for my high-school physics, SAT II Physics, and AP Physics students.
If you are studying calculus-based physics, you should consider Princeton Review AP Physics C instead, which covers fewer topics, but involves more math.
Good not great October 12, 2009

Good multiple choice questions. Nice job on the free response keeping the problems algebra-based. No particular advantage over the 2008 or 2009 edition, as far as I can tell they never update the book nor change the questions. My students have used this, in addition to class preparation, to earn mostly 5's and 4's on the AP exam.
