SAT Physics (No AP Physics) Prep Schedule

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

I am planning to take the SAT Physics exam since it is required for most of the schools I want to apply to and I want a 800.
I already have 800 on Math 2 and I need the SAT Physics for my second one - prob will take it some time next year.

However, my school only offers 1 Physics course (covers kinematics, F=ma, energy, gravity and that is pretty much it - no electricity or magnetism). What kind of prep do you suggest I do with my little exposure to physics. What prep books should I use? Should I use AP books with SAT books to gain more knowledge or is there a SAT book that covers all the info that I need without AP background? Any other tips/ advices?

It seems like you don’t know there are subject test review books, or do you?

This is based of off little knowledge, but the best advice I could give you is to buy a princeton review subject test book for physics

(link: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cracking-the-sat-physics-subject-test-15th-edition-princeton-review/1118924964?ean=9780804125666)

I suggest this one because my AP Physics teacher said that Barrons AP Physics had mistakes so I can only assume their subject test book will have mistakes as well. I have a AP Princeton book for physics 1 so I would like to think their subject book will be just as good.

I have never actually looked in the subject test book before, so you should check to make sure they actually explain the concepts, which I am 90% sure they do.
