**SAT 2 Physics Discussion Thread Oct 2016**

@JuicyMango in f=ILBsin(theta)

I = current in 5m wire
L = length of wire (5m)
B = magnetic field (6 T)

@thetennisking
Thank you so much!
But for #39, why is theta 90 degrees? Its the angle between I and B?

Just wrote the test!! I guess the curve isn’t gonna be as easy as it was last time. The test was easier if you ask me, though i didn’t have time to attempt 2 questions… So yea… I didn’t do too well. Pretty sure it’ll get me a 700+ … D’:

@seyll00 – where did you take it? It is ok to leave around 4 blank.

@seyll00 what was the curve like when it was “easy”? What do you think it’ll be like now? I too left 4 blank, and got 1 wrong, after having cleared a lot of doubts. Just wondering how much more leeway I’d have.

@skstanford In the easiest curve you get 800 even if your raw score is just 60. I’m not too sure about the toughest though. If you’ve left 4 and you’re confident that you’re getting just 1 wrong… then you’re mostly getting an 800. Gj! :slight_smile:

@CA1543 I’m an international. I think it’s alright to leave 4 blank. But from what I’ve seen it, really depends on whether the other questions you’ve answered are correct. But hey, if you’re confident… :smiley: that’s great then!

About to take the physics sat, any advice? Also Is it hard or easy? @seyll00

Guys what was the last question and letter answer because I left it blank and realized it at the end that it was blank and now I’m worried I just messed up bubbling the entire thing or something please help someone

@ratclown It was easier than the one in June (but maybe that’s just because I prepared this time). The comprehension were pretty easy than any of the practice tests I took in PR… probably a bit easier than Barron’s. All of the questions were straightforward… not much to think about tbh. I just didn’t manage my time too well :P. Chill… I’m sure you’ll do well! :smiley:

I skipped like 7 and think i got 4 wrong so far…and thats still like a 59-60 raw…barely 800
hoping for the best

@Calchong what did the last question ask

@JuicyMango because B filed is perpendicular to current

field*

@thetennisking I can’t remember that’s why I am asking. I want to remember if I left it blank or not because I may have bubbled in the entire last column wrong

The test I took (I’m within the US) was pretty damn hard… lol. My last question had nothing to do with magnetic fields, so we definitely had different tests. I left 2 blank and made educated guesses on like 10-15. Hoping for the best!

I didn’t even study for lit and it felt so much easier than this… Lol.

@gmanhax what was your last question

@Calchong i don’t want to be too specific as it’s against the rules, but involved an airplane and kinetic/potential energy.

@gmanhax I got the test with the airplane question too. What was the answer to it?

But it was really easier than ALL the practice tests I took… xD
