best book to learn physics

[korndoctor]

whats the best book you guys to learn physics on your own? i took two semesters of it but didn't really learn anything and would like to learn on my own.

is university physics by young and freeman the best one out there? is it easy to learn from?

Berkeley Review or Nova Physics are the two you want to check out.

i wouldnt suggest textbooks because the way the textbooks are written isnt so you can learn it by yourself. furthermore, there are many topics inside textbooks that will not be convered on mcats and you'll be wasting your time studying.

i would definitely recommened using nova physics because it is written in a very simple way to understand and also it has only the topics that are found on the mcat.

you can use a textbook for reference. also, once you finish with nova, you can move on to tbr if you want a better understanding etc.
