Physics SAT II

<p>Since I am taking the Physics exam for the first time, I have some questions...are there questions in which you need to calculate (even if it's just basic arithmetic) or is the test mostly or all conceptual. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>yes, there are some simple calculations. The hardest ones ask you to estimate, however.</p>

<p>Those of you that have taken or will be taking physics sat II. Do you recommend taking AP Physics first or would Honors Physics cover the material.</p>

<p>An honors course will most likely not cover all of the material, maybe not even half. If you do cover all of the material, you will need AP level understanding of the subject to get a good score anyway. So if you have to choose between an honors or an AP Class, I would take the AP.</p>

<p>With that said, it is very possible to study enough to land a good score. You can teach yourself enough electrodynamics, modern physics...etc, to land a good amount of those questions from the test.</p>

<p>thanks for the response dag. My S who is a sophomore, is currently doing Physics, and he was just was kinda throwing it out there... I guess he's looking ahead in how to lighten his upcoming Junior Year. He's in no rush he says -)</p>

<p>Hey, I have a question.</p>

<p>I'm doing AP Physics B. If I take the AP test this spring, am I ok on taking the SAT II Physics? It's basically the same thing right?</p>

<p>ap physics is much harder than the sat</p>

<p>any kind of physics class will do, as long as you have a good review book.</p>
