📝 Prep Tips

✓Make sure your Physics 1 foundation is solid — Physics 2 assumes you've mastered mechanics
✓Use the OpenStax College Physics textbook (free online) for detailed topic coverage
✓Focus on fluid dynamics and thermodynamics — many students underestimate these units
✓Practice circuit analysis problems until they feel routine — they're heavily tested
✓Draw diagrams for every problem — visual representations are crucial for optics and E&M questions
