<p>Is the math on this test really hard? You can't use a calculator or a formula sheet, two things that are allowed in my physics class.</p>
<p>To offset this, the Physics test has the most generous curve.</p>
<p>The math isn't hard at all, when there is any (hint: round 9.8 m/s^2 to 10.0).</p>
<p>More often than not, a question will simply ask you what the effect of doubling a variable in the formula will have, instead of asking you to calculate the value. </p>
<p>So knowing the formulas is basically all you need to know :)</p>
<p>Also, anhtimmy is correct - the curve is very generous (I missed many questions and still got an 800). But this isn't to offset the lack of calculator. Instead, the curve is really generous because nearly every aspect of high school physics is covered, and many people haven't been taught relativity, etc. So the curve makes up for that.</p>
<p>u can leave around 13 blank (rough estimate) and still pull an 800... kinda like 63/75 around there</p>
<p>Most of the questions are concept questions, but it is not an easy subject test so don't take it for an easy 800 unless you've taken/finished a physics course that covers all the topics.</p>
<p>know your field line!. i got a 700 left 20 blank!</p>
<p>Most of the test was pure conceptual. The math is only for easy whole numbers. </p>
<p>The test was hard for me, but the curve was great. Left about 15 blank and got 750.</p>
