<p>I just bought BARRON's SAT Subject Test in Physics, and found a couple of chapters are not referred to in my school(which is in China), like Quantum Theory and Nuclear Physics and Special Relativity. Are these contents have a big proportion in the test?</p>
<p>Not too large, but you should know the basics, i.e. mass number, atomic number, alpha, beta, gamma decay, photoelectric effect, E=hf (I think), de Broglie wavelength, and the postulates of special relativity.</p>
<p>Wow... that's tough...</p>
<p>I would recommend you to use sparknotes. They have all their study matter arranged systematically so you can checkup anything specific (like special relativity, quantum theory, etc..they all come under modern physics at sparknotes).
I studies only from sparknotes for the Dec 07 test and managed a 760. I did all sparknotes practice papers to get a hang of the test.</p>
<p>I don't think 'sparknotes' is available in China :(
But Thank ya MathIzLyfe anyway :)</p>
<p>sparknotes.com</p>
<p>so spark notes would be by far the best prep book for sat ii physics? strangersasha hows barrons compared to other books? if u dont kno its alright, im jus assuming at the moment</p>
<p>lol ull fnd 1-3 questions on the topics u just listed... they dont even go into detail on SAT 2s for any subject test... if u can generally understand all the concepts u covered in gr 11 physics, and understand a bit of what u learned in gr 12 u should be able to score 750+ depending how much u prepare... Good Luck, Im taking mine in may, along with chem french math 2c... Math 2c probably being the most of my worries...</p>
