November 2010 Physics Discussion Thread

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Any one taking Physics this November? How do you guys feel about the test?</p>

2

<p>left 3 blank >< . The test is not as hard as october but is still got some quite tough questions</p>

3

<p>whats the curve like?</p>

4

<p>SOOOOOO much easier than October… I had like 20 minutes to spare at the end :&lt;/p>

5

<p>what do you think 10 blank would come out to assuming everything else is right?</p>

6

<p>pianoman, 800.</p>

7

<p>then lets hope everything right haha =]</p>

8

<p>i thought it was hard as ****… how did you guys prepare for it? i took a physics gt class last year which didn’t even cover like 50% of the stuff that i saw on it, currently taking physics ap mechanics, but i didn’t know any of the magnetic / optical stuff… how should i prepare for the december one?</p>

9

<p>^ yeah, there was a lot of magnetic stuff… but I thought it was kind of odd how there was like absolutely nothing on mirrors/lenses :&lt;/p>

10

<p>when can we discuss? There were a lot of odd conceptual questions!</p>

11

<p>i think you can discuss, then math threads been going for a while^</p>

12

<p>dang, I can’t really remember anything anymore… there was a question about light and driving at night on a wet road vs on a dry road?</p>

13

<p>ahh i hated that one… i put that more light reflected away from the driver when its wet which was choice (E) i think but i guessed?</p>

14

<p>how about the one with larger telescopes more brightness?</p>

15

<p>i left that one blank haha</p>

16

<p>I put that the greater diameter gathers more light.</p>

<p>Regarding the car and rain question, I said that the light is reflected more uniformly without rain, but I’m not sure if that was correct.</p>

<p>I thought I did much better than October, although I’m not sure if that was better testing strategy or easier test.</p>

17

<p>I guessed B for the road one… and I think for the telescope… I put E? I can’t remember the answer choices for either of the questions though haha :&lt;/p>

<p>oh and for the question about white light going into a prism, what was the answer?</p>

18

<p>What was the response of choice B?</p>

19

<p>ahh I’m sorry, I really can’t remember, I think it was something like the water refract/deflects the light more…?</p>

<p>but yeah, I think this test was way easier than the October one :&lt;/p>

20

<p>

</p>

<p>E was, it gathers more light thus increasing intensity or something… </p>

<p>i put that as well</p>

<p>for the white light, i put that white light goes in and gets refracted as white light… it doesn’t disperse into colors</p>
