SAT physics crisis....help me!

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>so...for just a little background info, i took honors physics last year but our teacher didnt prepare us at all. Honestly i learned nothing in that class last year because he would just check off anything we showed to him and what most kids would do is show random math and he would give them 100%</p>

<p>with that said, im taking the november SAT for physics. I have been preparing for about a month and a half now. I used barrons for half the time before i ditched it because it was so confusing and am currently using this pdf thats really informative but A TON of info. i believe its around 450 pages.....and for the sake of time i started watching Youtube videos since last week on the general physics information covered by the physics test according to the collegeboard website. now heres the problem.....in mid september i took a practice test on sparknotes but guessed through almost all of it getting a 480....yea very bad i know so no need to criticize me for being stupid cause i already feel like sh<em>t cause of my current score i just received which was 490 -</em>_- and the actual SAT is this weekend!! I....am......so......screwed. Im a senior and right now and i only have 1 subject test which was math 2 and most colleges require 2. I want to major in industrial designing or some sort of engineering. </p>

<p>so heres my last resort, just print off a formula sheet and study those only. any suggestions as to what i should do? and i really dont want to put off the test further cause i want to be done with college apps ASAP and turn them in quickly so......what should i do??</p>

<p>790 SAT physics by selfstudying from h-physics–></p>

<p>Memorize formula
Get in the rhythm of speeding through 75 questions
Know how to manipulate formulas
Know how to apply formulas
There are usually repeating questions–> right hand rule, magnetics, efficiency, etc. </p>

<p>Take many practice tests!</p>

<p>I was in a similar-ish situation, but I’ve improved a lot after what I just did a few days ago. </p>

<p>SIT DOWN AND LEARN ALL THE FORMULAS!</p>

4

<p>so the SAT physics test is more computation than concept questions??</p>

5

<p>No, it is more concept, but the concepts can be derived directly from the formulas, mostly.</p>

6

<p>Ya, the math is pretty easy. Not too hard math too do, more conceptual I would say. It goes without saying that if you haven’t taken an AP/IB class (just an honors class like me) it’s hard as balls! so STUDY</p>

<p>can anybody post or post link to all the formulas we need for this? thanks</p>
