<p>@Quasi : What exactly is Sparknotes. I’ve heard of it but never bothered to look it up. Was too in love with my PR.</p>
<p>@Bilgunn : Should be. I guess it kinda depends. I had a pretty strong Physics background, it would even count as credit in college (I’m not sure if you guys would have that too, probably you would) so I knew most stuff in the book even though I graduated in like June and took the test in October. It shouldn’t be a problem to get 700+ for you. Are most of the stuff you’re learning now new?</p>
<p>gappy, yep. My physics background is really poor. I’ve studied only kinematics and optics. Other than that, zilch in everything! All this electricity and magnetism stuff is driving me crazy.</p>
<p>sparknotes dot com, gappy. It’s an amazing place, look it up.</p>
<p>Bilgy: Depends on the socioeconomic status of the school and whether we’re urban, rural, suburban, whatever. I’d say tetris and I use English most of the time. Our schools teach in English. Bengali/Hindi/whatever is our second language.</p>
<p>@Bilgunn - haha I commend you. I mean learning a whole new subject is hard, but electricity and magnetism? Wow. Speaking as someone who hated these. I think if you knew the PR material, you can swing 700+, or 750+ if you’re a good tester. Aim for 800. Aim for the stars, they say, because when you fall a little lower, it’ll still be good.</p>
<p>@Bilguun: We don’t actually have a language called “Indian” :p. It’s a whole bunch of different languages thrown across the country.</p>
<p>EDIT: Yeah I almost exclusively use English, because that’s the medium in school, and because my Tamil (the local language over here) is rubbish.</p>
<p>@tetris - My tamil is rubbish too. I can understand, but only if you don;t talk too fast. If you want me to string a sentence together, give me 5 minutes to remember the words please. Don’t even go into writing and reading. </p>
<p>Well. At least I know Malay. Saya sangat bangga. :D</p>
<p>@gappy: Haha I <em>can</em> read and write actually! Although I haven’t written since…five years ago. I know just enough conversational Tamil to get by (do know that I speak “pidgin Tamil” :p)</p>
<p>All those giving physics- The Americans are noobs at physics and the curve is REEEEEALLLY lenient. Like 10 questions or something on SAT o.O Even for the credit giving AP Physics C you can get through with 3-4 days of self study without any prior knowledge except a lil calc coz the curve for a 5 is like 60-70% :P</p>
<p>Mhm, I’m Tamilian. Right next door to Kerala :D.</p>
<p>@Bilguun: It’s a regional thing. Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi are similar up to an extent, since they’re all common up north. Tamil and Malayalam are pretty similar as well, and they’re both southern languages.</p>
