<p>Ok, it seems from other posts on CC that you do not recieve an equation sheet for the Physics SUbject test. What are good ways to memorize equations, and to what extent do you really need the equations? Are most of the questions conceptual and not mathematical, considering that calculators are not permitted?</p>
<p>Also, time is an issue on this test, as I have heard. What are your strategies for knowing when/what to skip?</p>
<p>Go to Collegboard, go the the latest posted FRQ of the AP Physics test and download it. They have an equation sheet.</p>
<p>AP Physics B formulas are not the same as the ones you'll need on the subject test. It doesn't have any of the angular momentum ones, nor center of mass, relativity and a few others, and it has a lot of fluid equations you won't need.</p>
<p>Well, you USUALLY don't need to know relativity formulas (as concepts/graphs show up more), and yeah, you don't need to know fluids. Angular momentum AP Physics doesn't have, yeah, but you'll get 1 question MAX if you get one from that subject area. But most of the equations are there, like the Newtonian/Electricity ones. And most of the heat ones as well.</p>
<p>the easiest way to remember the equations is <the drumming="" in="" the="" background=""> behold the almighty answer!!!! :</the></p>
<p>try to understand them! </p>
<p>:D just try to understand what every equation is saying, but if you're taking the test in saturday, and you haven't learned it all yet, there are little chance that you'll learn it now and have a good score anyway :P</p>
<p>at the beginning of physics b this year i made funny acronyms to remember certain formulas. for example i somehow associated in my head gravitational potential energy with mocha grande frappuccino. that's a good example haha. and for others like power for circuits i referred to the equation as pie (P=IE) where E is the emf. stuff like that helps me. hope it helps you.</p>
<p>"FMAAAAAAAA" F=ma</p>
<p>The way that I memorized my formulas was through practice (with problems etc...) After I had practiced enough, the formulas come naturally to me...I didn't even need to activly memorize them.</p>
<p>just remember, if there's a velocity....there is Momentum, kinetic energy, conservation of momentum, conservation of kinetic energy, pressure, etc...
If there is a mass,, there's weight, Fn, etc. etc...
Just relate the equations to what the object/concept is dealing with, and you will do fine.</p>
<p>Yeah, just try to understand them, since most are common sense anyway.</p>
<p>Also, you can guess on a lot of the questions based on common sense and get them right.</p>
