<p>Hello, I'm taking the Physics SAT soon, and I'm looking through the Princeton Review study guide. Inside, it has a lot of information about solving like the acceleration, etc.</p>
<p>However, the test doesn't allow you to use a calculator and someone on this board said that the test would have a lot of questions on the concepts.</p>
<p>My question is: is there really a lot of questions regarding solving or just more about the concepts?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>There are both calculation questions and conceptual theory questions. Don't worry about being crippled by being unable to use a calculator; the questions use friendly numbers, e.g. "Assume g = 10 m/s".</p>
<p>thanks. so I will never have to use something like these?</p>
<p>Yes, you will have to use those most likely. They are the five kinematics equations that are used very often. If you have trouble remembering them, try remembering them by what makes sense (like, the final velocity is equal to acceleration X time, plus the velocity you had to begin with).</p>
<p>And don't worry about numbers; they usually give you numbers that are very easy to just do in your head.</p>
<p>sdkdol is correct. No equations are given to you, so I would recommend looking over the AP</a> Physics information tables and more importantly, truly understanding the reasoning or derivations behind the equations.</p>
<p>To sum up: calculators are not allowed and are therefore unnecessary in calculations; know and understand related equations, as none will be given.</p>
<p>ok thanks you two</p>
