<p>For anyone who has taken the physics exam, I just wanted to ask about the test in general. I took honors Physics in my sophomore year, did well, liked the subject, too. For junior year, I did not have the option of taking physics. This year I am once again taking physics, except IB physics. And that stuff is pretty difficult, and the problems are unimaginable without a calculator. So I have heard that SAT II physics is a lot of memorizing formulas and applying them to simple problems, is that true? Since we are not able to use a calculator, the problems should be manageable without them right. Has anyone run into questions where a calculator seemed needed. And I would appreciate any input on how to effectively study for the exam. I have the Princeton Review book to learn the stuff I never had before. Is that book sufficient or do you guys have better suggestions. Thanks</p>
<p>ib physics sl covers most of the stuff but really in-depth.</p>
<p>the sat 2's arent that bad, and have few calculations and mostly just test general ideas, or use symbols instead of numbres.</p>
<p>you should go through the whole princeton book, and do all the tests. i would recommend you get the collegeboard subject test book and do that test as well, and do the sparknotes tests.</p>
