Best supplement for physics?

I didn't do as well as I would have liked in my science classes so far and think I can benefit from extra resources when I take physics. Does anyone know any good review books with a lot of practice problems?
Thanks!

MCAT Examkrackers for the physical science section. It gives you around 10-20 questions for every area of physics covered by most intro physics courses, plus answers and explanations.

Ah, I don't mean studying for the MCAT (though thank you very much for responding). I just mean something to help learn/practice while I'm taking the class. I'm guessing Khan Academy would be good but I'm wondering if someone out there has any good suggestions

Khan Academy is really good. He draws everything out AND he explains really well. If you use it alongside your textbook, it will be an effective combo. Maybe watch the videos first to get a good idea and then read your textbook for more detail and in depth analysis/ problems

This is serious:

Coffee/Red Bull
Physics I & II for dummies
Physics Demystified
Khanacademy

I'm taking both parts this summer and am trying to get a leg up.😀

imo the key to doing well in physics and math is doing a lot of problems. what physics level course are you taking?

If this is entry level calc-based physics, i'd recommend Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Giancoli. The text itself isn't great but there are tons of problems for each chapter
