<p>I'm in regular physics, but my teacher sort of goes past that level, but not fully to AP level. I'm taking SAT II physics in June and want at the very minimum a 700, but hopefully a 750 or 800. I have a tutor who's had his regular physics students make 800s on the Physics SAT II, and he's making me review with the Barron's SAT II and Princeton SAT II Physics book.</p>
<p>Any other suggestions? Is Barron's/Princeton good? I'm mainly using Princeton when I don't understand Barron's.</p>
<p>I took that test today and I think sparknotes and princeton review helped the best but what you need to do is memorize ALL the formulas and basically just study/review the topics that you are bad at and just slightly look over your good areas. Also barrons is okay but princeton review should be the main one to go to and sparknotes is really good too, make good use of their practice tests</p>
<p>i’m wondering too. i’ve been looking for the best prep book but of the reviews i’ve looked at for PR, barrons and kaplan it seems like PR is the best of the 3 (and that’s not saying much!)</p>
<p>but i think i’ll still go with barrons. from what i’ve been reading the test is very very conceptual… so should we memorize all the equations and go from there? =)</p>
<p>I took a released CB practice test and got a 800. This was mainly because I knew the equations on the AP Physics B equation sheet that’s given for the FRQ part of the exam. Memorize those (and understand them, of course), and you’re pretty much set for a good score.</p>

Pages 3 and 4 are the equations.</p>
<p>thanks for the tip! i think i’ll just print those out and make sure everything makes sense. i’ve been so caught up in physics c mechanics but i should really get back to b. =)</p>
<p>are you taking the test in june too or have you already taken it?</p>
<p>is Barrons book for SAT II Physics like impossible?</p>
<p>I am currently in the first year of IB Physics, in which im getting consistent A+'s</p>
<p>but then, when i looked at the Barrons book, i realized that all the stuff i learn at school </p>
<p>is described in a very weird way and half the equations in the book i’ve never seen before</p>
<p>i just can’t understand the equations there. </p>
<p>is it the Barrons book or is it the IB curriculum that doesnt fit the SAT II format?</p>
<p>i actually thought physics was gonna be pretty easy but… </p>
<p>do you actually need those equations?</p>
<p>also, is TPR book also like that? or should i just use sparknotes?</p>
<p>impetuous, ive been reading barrons, and i agree that some of the equations are really stupid and written strangely, and you do not need all of them (checked with a tutor)</p>
