I’m a rising junior who took AP Physics 1 this May and got a 4. Currently, I am planning on taking AP Bio and honors chemistry instead of AP Physics 2 my junior year. I will probably skip the AP Physics 2 class completely and do AP Physics C my senior year. I really want to get the SAT Physics subject test done with before my senior year. I know that the subject test covers material from AP Physics 2. Is it advisable/possible to self study the AP physics 2 material to take the subject test in either December or June? Are there any books you can recommend to study the material?
Since you’re aware that the physics subject test covers a lot of material not in AP physics 1, why would you not just strive for the bio or chem test?
I also took AP Phys 1, made a 4, but I took the SAT Physics in June and made a 750. The material is largely encompassing - we learned the entirety of the physics book but I still struggled with the physics test. I would recommend major preparation and overview of the non mechanics topics - Quantum, relativity, optics, thermodynamics, and magnetism
