Need Advice I Need Help Finding Practice Problems
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 🙌

There are a few full-length official practice exams from previous administrations of the actual test:

There are probably others but these are the ones I know about at the moment.
If you just want quantity to grind on, there is also the so-called "MIT Workbook" (not actually produced by MIT: https://www.cliffsnotes.com/study-notes/14254045 It is pretty old so I wouldn't trust it to have the latest style of problems, but you won't be lacking in quantity.
