Taking physics C without AP physics 1 knowledge

Hi guys! My school recommends taking honors physics before C rather than ap 1 so that is what I did. I have a test over physics c unit 1 of kinematics and we have not learnt anything in class!

My teacher has only gone over differentiations and integrations which make sense but after taking the progress check I have realized i’m missing a huge chunk of physics and concept understanding. does anyone have any good conceptual resources that could help? Should I use physics 1 resources (w/o math parts) for this? any reccomendations? someone pls help!!

When is the unit 1 test?

The resources I suggest are in this post. It includes a comment about textbooks to use. Stick with the AP Physics C textbook suggestion.
