<p>so.. i have read all threads regarding sat 2 physics but i couldn't find an answer to my question..</p>
<p>what are the constants we have to know for the test other than speed of light, c?</p>
<p>what about PLANCK'S constant? will it be given?</p>
<p>PS - i find that barrons sucks like hell.. what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Barrons really sucks
abt the constants…ummmmmm…dunno what i remembered.
i don’t think i ever remebered the planck’s constant.</p>
<p>i found Princeton really helpful. That’s the one i read . i suggest you to read it and from barrons, do only the ttests.</p>
<p>Aside from the speed of light and acceleration of gravity (which you can approximate as 10 m/s^2), you don’t need to know constants. You do need to know formulas.</p>
<p>I recommend PR as well.</p>
<p>thanks guys!!</p>
<p>PR’s book is good but I like SparkNotes’ book more.</p>
<p>sparknotes gives better explanations, pr sucks. i went to the lib. and got a text book. i used pr to find out what to study, do practice probs., and take tests, but i wouldn’t recommend trying to learn anything new from it for sure.</p>
<p>^^^
true. PR is useful for revision of concepts u’ve already learned. i never did sparknotes so i wouldn’t know abt it.</p>
<p>o and a lot of the mathematical concepts of em and electricity aren’t covered in basic first year text books, as well as oscillations and parts of optics. i would say leave a lot of time to prepare, and go find yourself a good tutor/teacher because overall books by themselves don’t cut it.</p>
<p>yeah…u should learn the concepts from other sources…i gave my test when i was studying my second year A level phy course. So didn’t have much problem with the course.</p>
<p>The entire first half of the PR book was new to me and I learned it just fine. You just have to think about it for a while.</p>
