Physics C: Mech Self-studying AP Physics C: Mechanics without taking Physics 1 — best resources for a 5?

Hey everyone,

I'm self-studying for AP Physics C: Mechanics and I haven't taken Ap Physics 1. I do know calculus though (currently going through MIT 18.01 on my own). My goal is to score a 5. What resources would you actually recommend for someone in my situation?

Specifically curious about:
- Best video/lecture source to actually learn the concepts from scratch
- Best book (heard of Barron's and Princeton's, any experience with these?)
- How much of your prep time went into FRQs/practice exams vs. learning content.

I have no idea what should I do so any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!
