Why not just do more problems?

Most AP Physics 1 points are lost to a small set of well-documented misconceptions: treating centripetal force as a separate physical force, assuming heavier objects fall faster, double-counting tension, confusing average with instantaneous velocity.

If you hold a misconception, more practice with it intact reinforces it. Getting from a 3 to a 4 is usually a matter of finding the two or three misconceptions that are costing you points and addressing them directly. That is what Mistake Master is built to do.
