**Official June 2014 SAT II Physics Thread**

Test Preparation
1

<p>How are you guys preparing for the test? I'm currently using the guide from SparkNotes.</p>

<p>Also, does anyone have links to previous practice tests? The only ones I know of are from the blue SAT II book, but I would rather save those questions for a few days before the test. I'm currently working off of old AP questions, but I'm not sure how those questions compare to the SAT II questions. </p>

<p>P.S. This video series is extremely helpful for last minute cramming:

<p>I’m using PR and Sparknotes. I’ve heard mixed reviews about PR-- anybody know how accurate it is? Also, great videos OP</p>

<p>If anyone wants practice materials for the SAT II, feel free to message me. I have two practice SAT Physics tests and 3 AP Physics B multiple choice exams that my physics teacher gave me. </p>

<p>Also, if anyone sees this thread and has taken the Math Level 2 SAT II, please let me know what I should do to prepare. </p>

<p>My plan is to go to the test, and bs it the best i can…
Thats how I aced Chem lol…</p>

<p>@frostyy - I’d love to have the practice materials for the SAT II Physics tests from you. I’ll try to message you now (I’m a new member so not sure yet if I can message at this point)</p>

<p>@frostyy It would be great to have more practice material. Thank you so much for offering to share! </p>

<p>I’m not sure how accurate and how realistic these tests are. But here ya guys go</p>

<p>If anyone has taken the SAT Physics, I’d appreciate it if you could let us know how hard/easy the tests are compared to the real thing.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Sparknotes is a good review source?</p>

<p>@student03‌ The extreme papers are harder than the real exam. Only some of it will show up on the actual exam.</p>

<p>Anyone with curve predictions for a 750+ ?</p>

10

<p>@sirclutch23‌ Nice name lol, would you recommend even doing the extreme paper tests just for like practice, or are they extremely unrealistic?</p>

<p>And IDK about curves, I may be wrong but I think 8 wrong is an 800, so about 13 wrong for a 750? IDK</p>

11

<p>@student03‌ thanks man. Yeah I would recommend doing them because they get your concepts straight. I’m on the 4th test right now and it has definitely helped.</p>

<p>I saw some tests where like 12 wrong was an 800 so i guess its all based on the difficulty. </p>

12

<p>2 days left! Anyone got any helpful links for understanding electricity and magnetism? I think I got everything else down (maybe except lenses/mirrors). Electricity and Magnetism is my weak point though</p>

13

<p>@student03‌ you might want to go to the physicsclassroom website… it’s pretty good at explaining things but I never really use it.</p>

14

<p>Thanks @avc118‌ I’ll definately look into it</p>

15

<p>@frostyy I would love another practice test</p>

16

<p>If you guys e-mail me relatively quickly (before 7:30pm EST), I can send you a practice test. I haven’t been on collegeconfidential and I could only send the practice test via e-mail because technology hates me. </p>

<p>Niice</p>

18

<p>ugh super nervous</p>

19

<p>Anyone know how accurate the PR practices are? I took one just now and I thought I was doing terrible but apparently the curve is super lenient, got a 770. </p>

<p>Today’s test is easier than PR practice tests?</p>
