<p>I've heard that physics SAT II also has a wide curve, but I don't know exactly how it is done. Is it like math IIC in that I can omit up to 7 questions and still get an 800? And is it easier to do well on the phsyics or the math test?</p>
<p>also, I'm currently using barrons, and am not doing so well on its practice tests. It seems to have some random info about modern physics. Is it similar on the actual test?</p>
<p>DON'T use Barron's...it's horrible for the test. :(</p>
<p>The curve is much more lenient than the Math 2 curve, but people generally tend to do much better in Math.</p>
<p>Which book(s) should I buy for physics?</p>
<p>Are math1 and math2 different? Which one should I take? Math2 is harder than Math1?</p>
<p>yikes. i guess i'd have to get a better book to prep for phsyics...
any recommendations?</p>
<p>bump
so how many questions can i get wrong and still get a 800 for physics?</p>
<p>

<p>According to the official CB SAT Subject Test book, it says you need a raw score of ~60 out of 75 to get a 800. Mind you, this is not approximate as the curve is dependent on the people taking the exam monthly.</p>
<p>Presuming the above raw score needed for an 800 and filling out all the questions, you can only miss around 10 to 12 or so.</p>
<p>so what's the percentile of an 800? IS it like math ii--something like 90%?</p>
<p>It's the 93rd percentile.</p>
<p>it's a great curve, but let's not forget that the test is difficult (which is why the curve is so lenient).</p>
<p>Are practice tests (Kaplan, Princeton Review, Barrons) more difficult or less difficult than the actual test? Or the same?</p>
<p>Haha, I love crazy curves.</p>
<p>There is a reason....don't forget.....grrr...nuclear physics ****es me offf....</p>
