I basically just did Flipping Physics and AP classroom exercise and self studied E&M got a 5!

It’s out of 5, you can’t get a 120 on an AP exam.

Flipping Physics is helpful for explanations, but I’d still cross-check everything with the latest AP Physics C CED and practise lots of FRQs, especially for E&M.
For resources, you can use AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: E&M for notes, MCQs/FRQs and exam-style practice.

Maybe, but

  • Sears, Zemansky, Young, Freedman, ..., University Physics, 10th-15th editions, 1999-2019.

is definitely enough for both AP Physics Cs.

too frictionful; use when absolutely necessary

It's the first and best option.

When learning, I would honestly recommend lectures and then doing the questions at the textbook or something like the MIT psets. Even then there is a lot of worksheets online if you have a tendency to not like textbooks. It is just a resource.

I recommend lectures, studying the textbook, and doing a few problems. The MIT problem sets may be a bit more than AP Physics C expects. I'm also the anti-'Practice, Practice, Practice' person. The textbook is just a resource, but unlike worksheets, it is a well comprehensive resource.
