<p>I want to buy Barron's SAT Physics book but I see there are two. Is there any difference between the 2010 version and the 2013 version?</p>
<p>Both are different books written by different authors. The 2013 book is the most comprehensive and helpful book out there for physics. However, the 2013 version has 600 pages which is doubled the 2010 version, so you may want to start soon.
Barron did a wonderful job again!</p>
<p>i feel 2013 one is more organized but i used the old one… it is just supplementary anyway</p>
<p>I have the 2010 one. I didn’t know they just came out with a new one.
Please tell me the new one has P-V diagrams in it.
The old one doesn’t and this shocked me.
The old one also went on nonstop about frames of reference while ignoring other pertinent material.</p>
<p>Dearie, the newest version covers everything to get an easy 800! If you don’t believe me, take a sneak peek on Amazon (they let you see the index page). It’s more concise and and understandable</p>
<p>I just bought it yesterday. It is indeed far better than the last edition. The previous book didn’t even have the work-energy theorem.
Still don’t have P-V diagrams. Not that P-V diagrams are hard to understand, it’s just one of my litmus tests for a good physics book. They do go into detail about polarization, which PR doesn’t. So that’s good.
I will be using this book for the Nov 2 subject tests.</p>
