<p>For those of you that got scores greater than 730-740 can you tell me how you prepared for the physics. Did you take the class in school when you were a junior and was it honors or AP and then did you use a book to prepare?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance..</p>
<p>I saw many of you with 800´s id be happy if you helped me with this question..</p>
<p>I received full marks on June physics SAT subject test.
I had huge trouble trying to be prepared for this exam because I only took one regular introductory physics course in my 10th grade. I had no experience with laboratory or ap physics whatsoever. But, I used all study guides available, such as Spark Notes, Barron, the Princeton Review and Kaplan. Also, I got some textbook for advanced physics class and self studied.<br>
It seriously takes a lot of work. The only reason I took this exam was because I did not have any other possible subject test that I could take the subject test in.</p>
<p>i see… anyone else that had 800 how dıd u prepare</p>
<p>I had a measly 790. Payed serious attention in my Honors Physics class. Memorized these formulas the day before. <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/facts-and-formulas-3-ref.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/facts-and-formulas-3-ref.pdf</a></p>
<p>I got full in mine. Was doing a levels in physics so it helped.Besides, it’s best to study from princeton review and take the practice tests of Kaplan and Barrons.It brought me results.</p>
<p>got 790. havent done any physics in about 5 years. Didnt really memorize formulae but did go through the PR book to get a refresher. I just seem to subconciously understand the phenomenon at hand and use math when needed. To get a good score, dont memorize but get a solid understanding of whats asked, laws and phenomenon involved, etc. Memorizing formulae certainly helps but it can let you down if something tricky or unseen arises on real test 
Good luck</p>
<p>know you conceptual stuff really well. i couldn’t memorize many eqtn’s but still got a 790</p>
<p>Hi, I got an 800 this past June (the end of my sophomore year). </p>
<p>I looked at Barron’s SAT Physics and Princeton Review, but I didn’t really prepare that much. I took AP Physics this past year, so most of it was just repeat, except on the SAT Physics maybe more on modern physics and history. </p>
<p>I would highly recommend the Princeton Review book. Some of their examples were questions on the actual test. </p>
<p>If you have any more questions, PM me :)</p>
<p>My son got 800. He took AP Physics C last year, but oddly enough, it did not help him much. He looked at the study guides and found that he didn’t know much of it, because he had never taken standard Physics or AP Physics B.</p>
<p>He used Barron’s study guide as well as SparkNotes online. I would say he spent two to three hours a day for about ten days preparing. Memorizing formulas using flash cards was a big part of his preparation.</p>
<p>Son got 800. Took honors physics as junior, as no AP available. Used Sparknotes book and reviewed it, took the tests in it. Also got PR but only took the tests in it as he ran out of time. Scored 700-750 on the tests so we were pleasantly surprised with the 800. Probably spent less than 10 hours studying plus the test taking/reviewing answers time. I was surprised at the simple stuff he was getting wrong at the beginning (as in, did you learn anything in your class?) but I guess he got through/over it.</p>
<p>didnt do any prep, didnt even want to take it, but paid already. Got 740 with random guessing. lol thats like 45/75.</p>
<p>I was fortunate enough to get an 800. I haven’t taken AP Physics, just a year of honors physics, which only covered about half of the material. To prepare, I went through PR very thoroughly (read through it twice, made flashcards, etc.) and then took the PR, Sparknotes, and CB tests.</p>
<ol>
<li>Studied the stuff for AP Physics B basically. I just messed up a tad on the test :
Physics B is more than enough for the test, but the multiple choice for both tests are very similar</li>
</ol>
<p>800</p>
<p>took AP Physics B this past school year. before the test I read through princeton review and did the two practice tests. I didn’t need to study too much since I already reviewed all the material twice previously for the class final and the AP test, just had to read up on a few topics the ap class skipped over.</p>
