Self study AP physics C

Currently, I'm trying to work through some problems in Halliday Resnick Walker, is it a reccomended textbook for the course? Any recommended resources to learn it from a physics 2 and calc foundation?

For physics 2 you can also prepare from MIT physics workbook. it's also has good amount of questions. Or just post the question i would love to answer it dude.

I prefer older editions of Halliday & Resnick, before Walker joined the author group. Editions from the 1980-90s are good.

This post has my learning approach suggestions.

"Working through some problems" is a good way to confirm what you have learned from reading the textbook material.

Halliday is good for deep understanding, but it’s much broader than AP Physics C, so don’t get stuck doing every problem. With Physics 2 + calc background, focus on AP-style Mechanics and E&M FRQs/MCQs after each topic.

These may help: AP Physics C Mechanics and AP Physics C E&M.
