<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have taken one year of each honors chemistry and honors physics, but no AP courses in either subject (my school doesn't let us take AP science until senior year). I know I need to take one or the other in order to apply for most Engineering schools, but I don't know which to pick. </p>
<p>Which test is "harder"? Which test would make more sense to self study for a June test? And also, which test books make the most sense? </p>
<p>Thanks guys!!</p>
<p>SAT Chemistry is easier than SAT Physics in general…there are many reasons but SAT Chemistry’s curve is not harsh as SAT Physics.</p>
<p>Princeton Review’s model tests are really close to the actual exam. Barron’s is just very hard to solve, and Spark Notes’ prep tests are easier than actual test.</p>

<p>I think you have been misinformed. The Physics SAT curve allows a -12 in raw score for an 800 while chem is usually -4 or -5. I will be receiving my SAT Physics score on thursday, and I also self studied everything except Kinematics (not involving Rotational motion or Laws of Gravitation). So, if I do well, I will be back to offer advice on how I did it.</p>
<p>i will check in with you schoolisfun… i am decent at physics… and i was considerin taking the subject test.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! I think I’ll end up going with Physics SAT. Good luck with your scores tonight!! </p>
<p>Which prep books would you guys suggest? For both Physics and Chem?</p>
