<p>@catchmoresun that’s what I put. @Eatyoualive same. What did everyone get for the spaceships traveling at 0.6c question?</p>
<p>can someone please tell me what is the curve based on?</p>
<p>I got the same answers, which both are the bulb slowly dim. Yay :D</p>
<p>i was so confused on the 0.6c one…i put greater than c but i wasn’t sure if the rocket ship man would even see the bullet in the first place if it was greater than c…</p>
<p>Had no idea for the capacitor questions. I put that it would be between .6c and c for the rocket one though. I thought nothing could go faster or as fast as the speed of light (Except neutrinos now!!!).</p>
<p>does anyone remember the tornado question? and can someone confirm the spaceships question? I put greater than .6c but less than c too</p>
<p>17 m/s for the tornadp</p>
<p>Hi. Parent here with a question for students who took the SAT subject test in physics. What course did you take to prepare for this: regular or AP physics? Do you think that the AP course confers a big advantage? (My son’s school does not allow AP physics to be taken until after the regular course, which he is taking now, as a junior. He will need the score on the subject test before he can take AP, so will need to take this test with just the general physics class.)</p>
<p>@mommeleh I didn’t do well on this… because I took AP Physics C last year(I’m a senior now). It’s like most 800s took AP Physics B before they take the test?</p>
<p>Thanks for your response, hermestai8550. Sorry you didn’t do as well as you would have hoped. I don’t think my son would be aiming for anything near 800, to be honest. But it would be nice to know if he has a shot at a decent score without having had an AP course.</p>
<p>I never took AP Physics, but I took Engineering Physics at a university that only covered basically mechanics…I had to self-study the rest but still think I did fairly well, maybe around 750-760.</p>
<p>@mommeleh I took AP Physics B junior year and got a 5 on the exam but a 710 on the test. I think it was partly due to the fact that our class did nothing after the AP, so I did very little physics between the SAT II and the AP exam and also because the SAT II physics covers some topics not covered in AP and even in honors physics. About 75% of the exam is made up of conceptual questions. There are fewer numerical answer questions than in AP and honors physics.</p>
<p>@catchmoresun I self-study and got 4s on AP Physics Cs(I no it’s not that good) and I also self-study physics subject test XD I think I can get around 780 - 800</p>
<p>Thank you cortana and catchmoresun. That is good info to know. I guess my son will have to self study to prepare for this test. It seems unreasonable to me that a high school subject test would be harder than an AP test, but I believe I have seen that discussed before. Good luck to all with your scores.</p>
<p>I asked my general physics teacher yesterday about the tension question, and she said the answer is 50N</p>
<p>Butterflies screaming! Good luck everyone. I used a 2B pencil instead of a #2 and I’m dyying from anxiety. Less than half a day left.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure 2B pencils are number #2. That or I’ve been VERY lukcy in my testing career</p>
<p>I wish. Everywhere I’ve checked, HB pencils are called #2 in the states. 2B are soft, and my answer sheet and hand got smudged with oval prints.</p>

<p>Someone tell me the curve was bad. I thought I got just a couple wrong, and omitted two, and I ended up with 790 :(</p>
<p>Yessssssss 800</p>
