Possible to self-study SAT II Physics with little knowledge?

<p>Hello, I am wondering if this idea is viable. I want to take the SAT II Physics test in November 2011 along with Math Level 2. However, I don't have much knowledge on Physics because I haven't taken it in school yet and my school doesn't offer Physics B due to budget cuts, and never offers Physics C. I been taking a class in a tutoring center on Introductory Physics, so far I started on Newton's Laws. </p>

<p>So the question I have is, is it feasible to self-study for the test with that much knowledge? I'm sure it's possible, but it must be really difficult. I know the test has a really good curve.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Bump, can anyone help me? Thanks!</p>

<p>I was almost in the same boat as you cause our school doesnt offer physics B but offers physics honors which covers the same things. That labeling confused me and I thought I had to self study but luckily I wont need to. As for you situation, its gonna be difficult. I suggest you get the fundamentals of physics book on amazon as it is written for students like you and me. As long as you do well in that class your taking and following up with the hw, bookwork, and read the textbook I just said, you will do fine. Also ask your teacher on for help on how to advance further in the class. Thats all I can really tell you.</p>

<p>I took Physics Honors this past year as a sophomore & we only learned mechanics & that didn’t include rotational motion or laws of gravitation
I self studied the rest & still managed to get a 760. This was during the schoolyear, so I started about 4 weeks before the test, & managed to cram all of physics into that short duration lol
So it’s definitely possible, especially since you have the summer, to get a good score.</p>

<p>Ok Thanks! I think it’s possible for me to self-study it. Right now I’m using a book called Physics 3rd Edition by Walker. It’s a book for AP Physics B.</p>

<p>In my first post I meant that so far I started on Mechanics and just learned about Newton’s laws, and I have very little background knowledge on Physics mostly from Chemistry.</p>
