<p>@Gappy- You don’t have to be coz static elec and magnetism is almost a copy of gravitation(assuming you know it well) and current elec has hardly 5-6 formulae at AP level <_<
EMI, obviously, you need to mug up a lil more :P</p>
<p>We don’t really have a definite term. We have 1452 languages and a lot of them differ a lot.</p>
<p>I just looked at Sparknotes. If I slug through tomorrow and ignore school exams altogether, I might be able to make it. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>All right then. I’m off. Bye!</p>
<p>Edit: ALSO, BENGALIIII PRIDEEEEEEEEE.</p>
<p>Perversely, I think I really like Bio. I’m gonna study some of it in college.</p>
<p>@gary - Actually I always wanted to know, what actually is an AP 5? If 700+ on a subject test, is that basically a 5 AP?</p>
<p>Soo, can people who speak Tamil only understand people who speak Punjabi only? Like get across what they mean to say?</p>
<p>Lol not really. Bengalis can’t understand Tamilians, and Punjabis can hardly understand Bengali, and some Bengalis can’t understand Bengali from another part of Bengal.</p>
<p>They say that ever 15 miles, you get a new language/dialect in India.</p>
<p>Gary, is SAT physics that easy? I’m finding the 400 pages of my PR book a sheer torture. prolly coz I know zero physics?</p>
<p>700 on phy subject test is probably 3 on AP? And maybe 2 on chem?? Dunno</p>
<p>what does ‘emi’ mean? I guess I’m turning into a text-hole.</p>
<p>@Bilguun - Just asking, why did you decide to take Physics? </p>
<p>@gary - Haha that’s crazy. So I guess my 760 would translate to like a 4. How sad. I wouldn’t be like all the students who put <em>taken 8 AP tests. All 5s</em>. Crazy.</p>
<p>760 is 4-5
BUt the course and style is a lil different. I’m probably underrating the SAT coz I’m a better objective test taker</p>
<p>that’s really interesting! so, the main language the majority can communicate in is english or is there also a majority <em>indian</em> language most indians can understand? How do you learn the languages? You speak an indian language at home and english at school? How do the indian languages survive then? Doesn’t english like take over?</p>
<p>@Bilgy- YOu’re finding it torture coz it teaches you SAT Phy, not Physics. I threw away my Barron’s after I bought it with high hopes of ‘preparation’. I would suggest you use a standard book instead. Solved examples and theory from halliday resnick is great, otherwise schaum’s is awesome for beginners and it has no calc too
I can email you the download links I suppose.</p>
<p>Hindi is spoken by half of Indians approximately, so its the ‘major’ language you could say. And except for metropolitans, you won’t find too much english in daily speaking. Though, in south, they have reasonably good knowledge of it. I speak english:hindi in a 1:30 ratio or something where I live(a sizeable town, but not half as big as a metro like the other CCers)</p>
<p>@gary - Are you sure you should be telling him to study Physics, not SAT Physics? For the SAT Phys, isn’t it better to study the SAT Physics syllabus alone? I mean, you understand better if you have the whole picture of course, but in a time crunch…</p>
<p>@bilgunn - i am under the impression that most people in India can speak at the very least broken english and that’s their common means of communication.</p>
<p>gappy, because deep down I love physics and I hate chem. I couldn’t find a bio book here. lol</p>
<p>If you have 2 weeks I’d suggest Schaum’s. Otherwise, you might have to stick to your sucky PR. When’s the exam?</p>
<p>gary, please do. I’ll look at them when someone brings me a laptop, but I have only 3 days left now? So, would it be plausible for a complete novice to study from real books? I also have a physical copy of Giancoli but I cringe when I think of its length. Do you have any experience with this book?</p>
<p>With three days left, it’s safer to stick to PR.</p>
<p>BACK!</p>
<p>Aah! You guys all actually speak english often? I only “speak”/write english in this thread;
and in English class of course. </p>
<p>I am also dying with the SATII exams; If you have taken a bit of biology, will PR be sufficient for an 800?! Or should I read the Kaplan AP book and sparknotes and try to squeeze in some textbook information? I heard PR isn’t good enough for the Maths II exam right? I also got a Barrons book, so I hope it will work out. Guess I have to leave CC too for a while! APs aren’t too hard indeed, by the time I graduate, I hope I will have self-studied 7: 6 5’s and 1 4. I have 2 5s and a 4 right now. I took World History without any prep last december and scored a 740, I didn’t study for the AP, and scored a 5, so that should be roughly equivalent! </p>
<p>Soooo… yeah…</p>
