<p>How many formulas are you going to memorize? Are you going to memorize every formula, i.e. that Sparknotes provided, or is that way over the top? </p>
<p>Physics SAT II vets, ppl who got 750+? What do you guys think?</p>
<p>I memorized every single formula in PR, which ended up coming out to more than 100. We’ll see how well it serves me tomorrow.</p>
<p>^it won’t do crap for you =[
i did that last time on the sat physics test
i used like 10 total formulas during the test lol and most of them didn’t even involve coming up with numbers</p>
<p>people say it’s heavily concept based for a reason!!</p>
<p>there was a question on the may test about heat, and it had a heating curve for water in a beaker, and it looked like an upside down parabola, and it had temperature marks on it
and it asked what the room temperate was when the water was getting hot
i still don’t get that question</p>
<p>and then there was this other question about heat transfer and i think two objects connected by a rod, and what would increase the rate of heat transfer or something</p>
<p>then another question had you choose which of these scientists did not contribute to the study of light</p>
<p>the stupidest ones had diagrams of electric fields due to different stuffs, like solenoids, a plate and an electron, and you had to match them up</p>
<p>Dude, 112358, you are beast. How long did that take you?</p>
<p>pigs<em>at</em>sea, thank you so much for your feedback! What was your score?</p>
<p>What I’m really worried about is time… :(</p>
<p>^yeah, i was worried about time too but surprisingly i finished all the questions
basically, if u know it, then you know it
if u don’t, u don’t…since there aren’t many calculations anyway</p>
<p>oh and i got 710 and i’m retaking</p>
<p>Retaking? Like in fall of next year? Are you a junior?</p>
<p>^lol what do u mean?
no i’m retaking it tomorrow
i got 710 on the may testing date
i’m a junior</p>
<p>I know the formulas alone won’t be much help, but I find that knowing formulas helps clarify the concepts in my mind.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone tomorrow!</p>
<p>Ahhh… See, I thought you were going to study all summer long again… </p>
<p>Please excuse my silly mistake…a little brain dead here…</p>
<p>Best of luck to you too!</p>
<p>BTW pigs, what did you change about your studying this time around?</p>
<p>ah dam ima fail this</p>
<p>i ditched princeton review, stopped cramming formulas
read kaplan and sparknotes
and did alot of practice questions, also took the official test from cb</p>
<p>How did you do on the CB test? Was it similar in difficulty to the May test? Because I got an 800 on the CB test with a few points to spare, but I’m still not feeling very confident about this test.</p>
<p>i dont understand magnetism and magnetic field direction and crap
anyone care to explain?</p>
<p>pigs<em>at</em>sea, you have been so helpful. I thank you!</p>
<p>I read the PR book meticulously, but unfortunately could not find the CB book. Will I be okay?</p>
<p>lol good job on the 800
well i actually thought the actual test was still more concept based than the sparknotes test!! =/</p>
<p>I’m running on a year of introductory physics and a day of SparkNotes cramming…wish me luck! :D</p>
