This is something I'd like to do with my college-prep level course. You said you teach mechanics, waves, circuits, and optics. So no electrostatics or magnetism? Do you leave any topics out in mechanics?<br /><br />About straight-forward MC questions: Do you know about the NY Regents exams? The physics questions there are aimed for you exact audience:<br />http://www.nysedregents.org/Physics/<br />(Click Arichive for more exams going back to 1998)<br /><br />For optics, you would be interested in exams from January 2002 and earlier. Optics was eliminated from the exam in June 2002.<br /><br />You can also buy a Barron's review book. Despite being some topics being eliminated from the exam in 2002, many review books still include them because teachers still teach them:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Review-Physics/dp/0764142070/<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts. BTW, I love the "give 'em part (a)" technique you posted previously. I am definately doing that next year!<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Frank NoscheseFrank Noschesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584042587600632345noreply@blogger.com
