<p>Hi guys, I decided that I might as well create a thread to help facilitate collaboration on SAT 2 Physics Study.
What books are you all using?
What courses did you take relating to physics? Are you self studying?</p>
<p>I took AP Physics B and started on AP Physics C: Mech. I have already went over Giancoli’s Physics 6/E and Holt Physics by Serway and Vaughn… i think? im not sure abt the authors, but anyway, I took 3 tests from Kaplan and the official SAT Subject study guide. I got CB: 800 and Kaplan: 800/790/790 so far.</p>
<p>I’ve taken a intro Physics course (pre-req to AP Physics B in my school) and my teacher’s pretty awesome. We haven’t gone over electricity yet, but I’ve managed to teach that to myself.</p>
<p>I took the sparknotes test and got a 720, so I’m pretty optimisitc. I hope the curve is good!</p>
<p>Are we allowed a calculator during the test?</p>
<p>NO 10 char</p>
<p>which formulas are you all remembering? and how?</p>

I recommend not “remembering” the equations, but being able to derive most of them for some base equations you know. Frankly, understanding relationships is more important than the actual equations.</p>
<p>Is center of masses covered in the subject test? It’s in PR, but I’m not sure…</p>
<p>@ Malfunction, you mean levers and torque?</p>
<p>I took the AP Physics course and I have an A average in that class. But prepped very little for the SAT Physics and got a 570 :(</p>
<p>^ I gather that your school has grade inflation.</p>
<p>^ AP Physics B or C?</p>
<p>Hi guys, I am gonna take SAT Subject Tests this June and I want to decide which one to take. </p>
<p>I took the AP for both U.S history and Physics and I thought I did VERY well on U.S History and not so well on Physics.</p>
<p>I like Physics but I don’t like U.S histoy. I could only take either one of these subjects since I will be taking Math 1 & 2. </p>
<p>SO WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK IS HARDER? U.S or Physics?</p>
<p>FYI, I got a 570 on the SAT Physics the last time I took it with very less preparation.</p>
<p>Honestly, if your doing A-level work in an AP physics class (B not C), there is no reason to get anything below a 600.</p>
<p>@meteman: What I mean is center of mass. It doesn’t seem to be in Barron’s. It’s the last part in chapter 5 in the PR book.</p>
<p>@Malfunction: I’d read over it just in case since it’s not all that difficult. Better safe than sorry</p>
