<p>If I score 700+ on SAT II Physics, can I get a 5 on AP Physics B?</p>
<p>My school doesn't offer AP courses, but I want to take the tests in May.</p>
<p>Thanks for your response.</p>
<p>hmmm kinda hard to answer. i'd say that the concepts are similar, but that you'll find the level of difficulty of each test very different. its hard to predict your performance on the AP based on your SAT II score (and vice versa)</p>
<p>for example, i got a 3, then i got a 680 (june of that year).
my friend got a 4, but got a lower score than me.
another friend got a 680 as well, but with a 4.
and another friend got a 690 (i think? close to 700...) but had a 5.</p>
<p>i got a 770 and got a 5 on the exam.</p>
<p>Blah, are there any concepts that the AP test covers that the SAT II one doesn't?</p>
<p>Oh, and just for clarification. I have not had an actual year of Physics B. My teacher sucked and I learned nothing. I think I got around 700-750 on the SAT II by studying the Princeton review book.</p>
<p>So, my basic question is, do I have to buy an AP Physics B book as well?</p>
<p>Yes, they ask pretty much different questions.
I took an AP Physics B class outside of school which did nothing but administer a lot of model tests. My class at school gave regular Physics; I learned most of what I used on the AP from that.</p>
<p>I got a 5 in May, took it in June and got a 710 :x</p>
