What Are the Best Books for Mastering High School Math and Physics?

In summary, the conversation is about a person preparing for SAT, MATH2, and Physics subject tests. They mention using Barron's preparation guides but are unsure about the fundamentals of math and physics due to not being a US citizen. They ask for suggestions on books or coursebooks used in high school, specifically mentioning authors such as Serway, Young and Freedman, Giancoli, and Halliday and Resnick for physics. They also mention their need for material to cover all aspects of high school math and physics, including calculus, and to practice problem-solving techniques. They thank someone named "fss" for their advice.

Suggest learning matierial please!

Hi everyone. I am preparing for SAT, MATH2, Physics subject tests on my own. I have got barron's preporation guides that i like and i could probably use them if i knew all the fundamentals of math and physics. Since i am not a Us citizen i have no idea what curriculum u guys follow. Can you suggest what books or coursebooks (name, author etc) you are using in high school? i do know a descent amount of math and physics but do not get a clear picture sometimes so if you could help me please do so))

Honestly the review books teach right to the test and should give you an idea of what to study. Serway, Young and Freedman, Giancoli, and Halliday and Resnick are oft-recommended "survey" texts for physics.

Yeah i know that. The problem is these prep books allow you to learn to apply your math/physics knowledge to a specific test (SAT). I don't have any problems preparing for the test, my problem is that i do not have full understanding of the subject. I need material that would cover all aspects of high school math(with calculus), physics and a duzzen of excersises to practice my problem solving techniques.
Thanks for advise fss! what about math?
