<p>I'm doing mechanics, and I'm probably going to fail. I didn't learn anything in that class, and haven't really studied.</p>
<p>my scores are total raw pts; that is, they include the multiple choice adjustment (which I believe is multplying multiple choice points by 45/34; free response already contains 45 pts).</p>
<p>The 1993 curve was less than the 1998 curve because 1998 was harder than 1993.</p>
<p>I currently have the barrons book... I hate it. It's too hard for me. Can anyone recommend a review book that has good tests in it?</p>
<p>Princeton Review has a pretty good one. It's questions are also a little harder than the actual ones, but I find the book very useful. (I have not seen the barrons)</p>
<p>Barrons it just.. ugh. I have taken real MC sections and have gotten 30 right on most of them. In Barrons I get literraly like 10 right. </p>
<p>I may pick up princeton review today, thanks!:)</p>
<p>emmitt, i got it from the 2002 test</p>
<p>In the free response for mechanics, just do the EASIEST problems, because ironically they contain the most points.</p>
<p>where'd ya get the 2002 test?!?</p>
<p>in my pants.</p>
<p>you need to multiply by 45/35 for the multiple choice. The curve is usually around 50 for EM and 55 for mech.</p>
<p>Actually, in the test he was referring to, you multiply by 45/34 because there was one question removed from the scoring. :)</p>
<p>I'm curious about one thing too: Dot products. Do we really need to worry too much about them?</p>
<p>just know that it means the component parallel. not much more i think.</p>
<p>I think just that B dot A = BAcos(th)
Other dot product stuff, like dot products with i-j vetors don't seem to show up on the exam.</p>
<p>Thank goodness. Okay I'm looking at PR right now and there's the sinusoidal description of SHM (simple harmonic motion)... a plus to no or probably not needed?</p>
<p>I understand it, just don't have the formulas down yet.</p>
<p>I'd know the sinusodial stuff...</p>
<p>I'm hoping for no Gauss. I hate Gauss and I hate E&M.</p>
<p>the first e/m question is always gauss, just like how the last mech is always rotation and the last e/m is induction</p>
<p>Everyone who posted here will get an easy 5 on his or her (yay for correct grammar) physics exam. The oracle has spoken.</p>
