SAT II Physics: Is Barron's prep book for Physics good?

<p>...I'm currently doing questions from there to prep for the SAT II Physics..do you guys know what the Barron's standard is like? Is it above/below/just right?</p>

<p>PR vs. Barron's. Which is better?</p>

<p>PR's better.</p>

<p>Ok thanks. Btw, do you know of rotational kinematics is covered in the SAT II physics? because PR has it as one of their chapters..</p>

<p>I only one equation is F=(mv^2)/r</p>

<p>Okay good. Because the PR book had rotational kinematics that included omega and whatnot. I'll just skip right past it. ^_^</p>

<p>that's basically the same as kinematics....</p>

<p>how much knowledge is needed to take the SAT Physics Test? I've just finished taking Algebra-Based Physics at my school. I don't plan on taking AP Physics. Can I still take the SAT Physics Test, or that a bad idea?</p>

<p>i'd suggest going through a kaplan or pr sat ii physics book just to learn what you need to learn and then you can skip/skim what you already know...</p>

<p>barron's WAY overprepares you (i flipped through it and could tell right away), so you would waste a lot of time studying things you don't need to know...but if you just wanna study the basic concepts (of each topic, of course) then that should be fine...</p>

<p>I used a mixture of Barron's and PR to review for the SAT II. It was easy..I don't think I got an 800 but probably around 750+.</p>

<p>I was just wondering, what if my school doesn't offer AP Physic or AP Chem? Is it still possible for me to take the AP exam in those areas someplace else?</p>
