I'm planning on taking the AP Physics C exams in May, and I was wondering if there was anyone who knows what's a good practice book for such an exam. I'm using the Resnick and Halliday Physics I & II textbook. I'm doing this solo, so I don't have an in-class knowledge of the test format of this certain exam.

I use Princeton Review. It's a mediary between price and quality. Both good. I really wouldn't know much past that though.
By the way, someone usually starts an "official" AP Exam thread in mid-March.

Is there any other way to get the multiple choice practice tests anywhere else? And I was not aware of a future, non-existent thread on AP tests, sorry.

No luck for you, since luck is always against you on multiple-choice questions. Might I ask which AP Physics test(s) you're taking?

I recommend the Barrons books for all your AP prep needs.

Also, if you have any extra time/cash laying around, try your hand at the AP Psychology test, it's insanely easy.

What are the chances that you're just insanely smart? I'm not smart like you.
On the other hand, the AP Macroeconomics test is easy to get a 5 in. The AP Calculus test should be easy to get a 5 in too. The AP English Literature test is easy as well, although it's a bit tricky to get a 5. The AP Japanese test is going to suck though.

The Psych test requires learning nearly *zero* new thought processes, techinques, or skills; it's basically a big vocab test.

That doesn't sound easy at all. I can't remember vocabulary. I have nearly *zero* memory. But I guess I'll try it. What's the worst that could happen, except losing $100?
Two other really easy AP tests are the Statistics and U.S. Government tests. I've already taken both at college, or I'd take them.
On another note, although I disapprove of the entire College Board system, I don't really like taking extra classes and paying extra money either.

You could get hit by a comet while taking it!

Would I be so rude as to PM you if I had a question?

Well, I mean, a better worse possible situation could be that he could end up having to take the Physics C test naked or something.

And nothing wrong with private messages, so long as they don't descend into spam.
