<p>I've got two physics prep books now: Kaplan and PR. Now, PR is 1000 times harder than the stuff in kaplan and the practice tests in Kaplan do not need the formulas that's in PR. I am confused because there's a huge gap. Which book reflects more accurately what the real SAT2 physics is like? Is Kaplan easier than the real thing because the questions weren't hard!!!</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing. I also have both books and noticed a big disparity in difficulty (PR is definitely harder). Anyone familiar with these books know which one is more accurate???</p>
<p>Please!!!! SAT II Physics on Saturday!!!!!!!</p>
<p>yup, i have barrons, PR and kaplan, and i found kaplan by far the easiest. donno if it is representative of the test. <em>echoes what Smiffer88 said</em></p>
<p>I studied with kaplan, and got 780 on Physics.</p>
<p>However I had the PR too, and when I practiced using it 2 days before the test, I was getting around 700 (much lower than what I was getting with Kaplan).</p>
<p>hash you are my hero =) thanks! i got 720 740 760 on kaplan, then 670 on PR and i was freaking out, i hope i can do what you did! i need 750+ =)</p>
<p>i used kaplan, pr, barrons and sparknotes. I found that Kaplan was veryyyyy much easier than the real test, barrons was a bit hard and had irrelevant info in it, and sparknotes has errors and the practice tests weren't perfectly accurate. However i mainly used PR and it was perfect. One of the questions was even the same as a PR question with different numbers. If it's on the test then it's almost definitely in PR. I wouldnt have gotten an 800 without it.</p>
<p>Really? Kaplan is all I have for physics (aside from 22 real SAT II's), and the test is TOMORROW!!! What am I to do?</p>
<p>your fine, just review what you can =) i would have started sooner though..</p>
<p>Well, I have started reviewing already (this morning at 1 AM... like if that matters at all). Anybody knows which of the major formulas I have to memorize? Mechanics and gravity shouldn't be a problem, but things like electromagnetics, optics, and some obscure stuffs like nuclear physics and whatnot might trip me down to the ground.</p>
<p>Yeah, which of the formulas in PR do I need to know for the test??
Cause there is a ton of formulas in there, and I don't think I can remember them all. :)</p>
<p>universal gravitation, kinematics stuff... i dont know... the more u know the better..</p>
