<p>hey everyone, so i am going to sit for the physics this month. what i do now is just studying for the theory part and ignore the calculation part as 1) there are not many questions on calculation (is it)? 2) if there are, only simple calculation will be used. 3) i cannot remember all the complicated formulae. am i using the right 'strategy'? please give me your opinions. thank you in advance.</p>

<p>hello/?????????//</p>
<p>read the princeton review sat 2 book on physics and do all the practice problems</p>
<p>Yeah, cherry, that's definitely a good approach. Any formula can look too complicated to memorize, but I'd suggest that you try to figure out how to derive them. They become no longer things to remember or forget, but merely logical deductions from something you already know (especially if you focus on really understanding theory). If you're open to prep book suggestions, I recommend Barron's (as it does an excellent job covering the theory).</p>
<p>Yup. Don't focus on formulas too much. When I took the test last year, there were about 5-8 questions where knowing the formula actually helped- aside from the basic f=ma and the kinematic formula. Have the concepts down pat and you'll be set.</p>
