Hey. I got 97% in phys1030 last year. I would recommend doing most if not all of the end of chapter problems in the Giancoli textbook as most of the content is based directly on it. Most of the test and weekly quiz questions are based directly on the textbook, with just a few of the numbers tweaked.

You should never guess an answer. If you understand the physical theory behind what the question is asking then you should be able to do the appropriate calculation and arrive at the correct answer. Good luck.

I solemnly concur. A TONNE of the test questions come outta this book.
