<p>I know some universities require SAT II but are they used for admission or just placement? and has anyone taken the sat II physics? how was it?</p>
<p>They are typically used for admission purposes. Some schools may also use them for placement, but I haven't heard of this specifically.</p>
<p>Like most SAT IIs, the Physics test is fairly difficult, but has a nice enough curve that it is easy to get a very high score if you understand the basic principles behind the topic. If all you can do is spew formulas, you could be in trouble (unless you can spew A LOT of formulas).</p>
<p>I didn't know SAT II's were curved...are all the subjects curved or just a select few?</p>
<p>most tests (i think) are curved but they are all curved differently. And the curve is determined by how hard the college board thinks the particular test is.</p>
