<p>Hi everyone, I want to take the SAT Physics in january and it would be nice if you guys share your study strategies, like what time to study? should I take notes in a notebook? memorize certain things? etc etc.. I want to get at least 700 on the test and I have only had one year of Introductory level Physics (Regents physics). I graduated from HS this year(took physics this year too) and I am not going to a college yet so basically I am free all the time. I have already brought the Barron's SAT review book and I am also planing on buying the PR AP Physics B. Can you please share your thoughts on how many hours should i study per day? what topics should I focus on? and also should I get the PR SAT physics? I just basically need to make a good schedule. I am willing to study for 2 months everyday. one last thing, how should I use both the AP book and the SAT book to study?</p>
<p>any help would be really appreciated. thanks</p>
<p>First of all, I think you really should get the right books. Barron’s is rather difficult to study and AP PR is, well, not SAT. I recommend you get PR SAT physics and to supplement this, the Sparknotes physics glossary. </p>
<p>How to study: To be honest, it’s best to study for an SAT through rote memorization of the material and doing practice tests. Read through PR at least twice and after that, read through the Sparknotes glossary and google anything you don’t know. After that, do a bunch of practice tests. Sparknotes offers 3 practice tests and Princeton Review offers 2. If you still want more practice, get your hands on the BB for subject tests. </p>
<p>Thank you so much for replying, and congratulation for getting that 800. I will follow your advice and hopefully get a good score. I have heard that the PR has more math and not alot of concepts While the test is mostly concept based, that’s why I went for the barrons and AP book. Thanks once again, and would you mind sharing how how many practice test did you take and did you take AP physics?</p>
<p>@injectmagic Where can you get the SAT Physics Sparknotes? I know that they have that online thing where they go through 21 chapters of material, but you mentioned that Sparknotes offers 3 practice tests… By the way, congratulations! An 800 is incredible.</p>
