<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p>It's me again and it's about physics... I took the Barron's practice test, did pretty well, but I got a few wrong (especially with the definition stuff). It was like "is this Charle's law or Boyle's law" I mean, ok, I can memorize that for now, but do we really have to know who found out all the laws and formulas and put them together like that? I am good with memorizing formulas but not necessarily names - actually I am awful in that.... </p>
<p>Or is that just Barron'S extra difficulty?</p>
<p>Best,

<p>Barron’s is known among CC frequenters to have tests noticeably more difficult than the actual ones; it’s thrown around here pretty often that a 650+ or so roughly translates to an 800 on the real thing. Still, you can never be too careful, and it’s more than likely that those will appear on the test.</p>
<p>Physics SAT-II is notoriously difficult, even for good physics students. Take the Blue Book practice test. That’s the only one that matters. If you’re not hitting above a 700 on that one, I’d stay away from Physics.</p>
<p>I majored in physics at Harvard and I still would stay away from the SAT-II physics test. It covers so many topics that it is very hard to do well, unless you are a physics guru.</p>
<p>Which you may be. Who knows.</p>
