SAT2+Study+Page

It is best to take the SAT2 in June, since we will have really completed the full curriculum by then. If your taking it in May, you'll be missing about 5% of the SAT 2 content still.

This test is 75 multiple choice questions to be done in 60 minutes, and they are not as hard as A.P. questions. There is no reference tables and you will not use a calculator because the actual calculations are not hard. The key is the total recall of all key formulas, units and concepts.

Get yourself an SAT 2 review book a nd d o lots of practice exams, scoring yourself and learning from the ones you get wrong. This is the single most important way to prepare, besides memorizing the formulas and units.

Two minor topics we haven't covered in this course are AC circuits (inductance, impedence and transformers) and in Thermodynamics specific heat/latent heat. You should go through that on your own and learn some key formulas on these topics. Relativity and some other modern physics will not be done until after the AP exam since they are not on the AP exam. We will not have the AP Core of Modern Physics done until the last day of April. I think the odds of more than a couple of these questions being among the 75 questions on the test is low, so I wouldn't spend much study time on them. Show me any formulas you are uncomfortable with and I can quickly give you a sense of how to use them. Just make an appointment to come in after school for help.

==I went through some websites for free SAT practice and preparation. These are the best one's I see up right now:==

1. The official SAT prep book, pages 33-38, is a good start: []

2. Pages 34-38 of this site: []

3. The Sparknotes site allows you to use a pull down menu to pick many topics to review, or get the key formulas for that topic, and try a few questions. Do them all and you've reviewed a lot: []

4. For an intro to the content of the exam, try: [] .

5. Another intro with a few questions: []

6. A free formula guide - the 50 most important formulas: []
