Course Description: APEX F=ma Problem Series (P04) is an intense preparation course designed for students aiming to excel in the F=ma exam. To enroll, students should have completed APEX Algebra-Based Physics (P01 & P02) , ideally also APEX Calculus-Based Physics (P03) or an equivalent course. This course focuses on helping students: 1) gain a deep understanding of key concepts and theorems in mechanics; 2) build systemic problem-solving skills in mechanics; 3) enhance their ability to solve mechanics problems quickly and accurately.
Students of P04 can participate in APEX F=ma mock tests for free.
Prerequisite: APEX Algebra-Based Physics (P01 & P02) and/or APEX Calculus-Based Physics (P03), or an equivalent course.
