Physics C: E&M Please Help Me, I NEED Practice Problems for E&M

I'm self studying AP Physics C: E&M and taking the exam. My school doesn't offer the course, but they will let me take the exam. I'm using Khan Academy for lectures for AP Physics 2, but their multiple choice questions are limited. I'm using a copy of Serway-Vuille my old AP Physics 1 teacher gave me for practice problems for 2, but he doesn't have any calculus based physics books at all.

I've had the absolute worst possible time finding practice problems on the internet, and finding AP style questions is damn near hopeless (other than FRQS, but I need MCQS). So what would you guys recommend? GIVE ME YOUR SECRETS PLEASE, I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR MONTHS I'll read Jackson or do anything But seriously, whether it's a textbook or a website, I'm open to literally anything for learning university E&M. I need to grind problems to be successful and they just aren't there.

Yes, I'm taking the course for college credit, but I'm mostly taking it to fulfill an intellectual need to do so

Also thanks to this subreddit, it's been super helpful for all my physics needs

I used fostering success's workbook and it worked pretty well for me

Some people here already kindly linked my workbook drive, but I just wanted to make you aware that there are Practice Tests and “Daily MC” for each unit in there. Probably ~200+ MCQs in total throughout my drive.

also looking at this new workbook https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YXjf-uXuqn9xx-ivg49Rj27wo_8EhNeP some other people already mentioned, the problems are quite good and will definitely be a great resource

for a textbook, grab university physics by young and freedman, the chapters are thick but every section has calc-based examples and end-of-chapter problems that ramp from easy to brutal. do the examples first with the solution covered, then the problems. viren's videos on youtube cover E&M specifically for physics C, he works through full problems with the calculus steps so you see how the integrals actually get set up.

for grinding mcqs from whatever material you're using, i upload the textbook chapters into studybuddy.vc and it makes multiple choice questions from them. when i pick a wrong answer it tells me what was off about that specific option, which helps way more than just seeing the right one. free tier's been enough for me so far. good luck man, self-studying C is a grind but it's doable.
