What is the best AP Calculus BC Textbook

I need practice problems my teacher doesn't even give to us. Does anyone have resources or advice. I understand the concepts I just keep making dumb mistakes on tests

Taking AP Calc BC and AP Phyiscs C same Year

I plan to take these 2 AP classes, along with others, during my junior year simultaneously. But I'm thinking to myself, and people talk about how Physics C requires calc, but Physics C might use calc concepts before they're taught in Calc BC. Is it realistic to take AP Calc BC and AP Physics in the same year? Is it going to be significantly harder than if I were to take Calc BC first, then Physics C the next year?

The previous year, I took AP Physics 1 and Honors Math Analysis before taking these two classes.

How should I self study AP Calculus BC's extra topics while I am only taking APCalculus AB?

I have already registered for the BC exam while I am only taking AB this year and I've been planning on doing so for months (since, in college, what I plan to major in is very math intensive and I want a head start (astrophysics)), but as I've been searching I haven't found any guide on how I should execute studying. I'm aware units 9 and 10 build off of concepts from AB that I'd struggle without, but I want to give myself lots of time to self study BC to get a 5 (preferably, start November-Early December, I predict my class will be at unit 4's beginning) and I don't know when after my class finishes what I should start studying topics from BC. At the moment, my class is currently on Unit 2.2. Should I wait until we start Unit 3 to begin studying basic integration and u-sub for unit 9? Are there any extra topics I should study beforehand? Help is appreciated!

(As for the extra topics scattered throughout Units 6-8, I will simply study them after we go over the preceding lessons in class.)
