<p>Since this test was relatively difficult, I think you should be able to miss 12-14 points for an 800.</p>
<p>Do you guys remember any more questions?</p>
<p>Nah, just wait it out. :D</p>
<p>You know, I skipped like 20 questions. Randomly colored a few of them in. Aside from that, I got one wrong and am unsure of 3-4 others. If I get a 750… I will literally be so happy I might die. A 750. That’s all I’m asking for. I REALLY don’t want to retake this test in January.
You guys are so lucky you cover this stuff in AP Physics. I didn’t even know what AP was until like 3 months ago.</p>
<p>Taking AP Physics doesn’t help. I’m in physics C right now and we go so much more indepth than what the SAT II asks for, so I tend to overthink the problems on the test. </p>
<p>Not to mention, physics C doesn’t cover certain topics that are asked on the SAT.</p>
<p>This test wasn’t hard.
I never considered myself a physics wizz…
Never entered a laboratory (my school doesn’t have one , heh) or took any AP/IB/whatever courses (unfortunately my country doesn’t offer them), and the only instrument I saw is the thermometer 
…
I may get an 800, or somewhere close to it. I couldn’t believe it was this… logical. Seriously, just using common sence would get you through about 2/3 of the test…</p>
<p>The blue book’s curve is -16 (59/75) for an 800.</p>

<p>Way to degrade physic classes, downplay everyone’s 700s/800, and imply that people who scored lower are unintelligent.</p>
<p>@BerkeleyHopeful</p>
<p>Whoah, you really destroyed me there 
!
Actually, the way the schooling system in my country works is that people learn a LOT of things that they won’t need in ways they probably won’t need. So transitioning to the SAT system (at least in physics) was nice.
But I don’t know, maybe I underestimated myself in terms of knowing physics?</p>
<p>I didn’t want to offend or undermine anyone’s intelligence in no way. I (and I must say “I”) did what seemed logical to me, probably had a lot of luck, but still missed some.</p>
<p>If anyone felt offended, I’m deeply sorry, that wasn’t my intention. I apologize. :/</p>
<p>hey does anyone remember what were the answers for the lab reading … i remeber a thermometer one and a mass multiplication one… i totally forgot about the rules when I did the test so could anyone give me some answer for the questions? I felt so anxious…</p>
<p>I think it was two decimal…</p>
<p>Both of those pertained to significant figures. The thermometer’s answer was 70.0. It couldn’t be 70.2, 70.02, or whatever else was offered, because the scale was in .5s.</p>
<p>The other sig. fig question involved multiplication. When you multiply sig. figs, the product will have the same number of sig. figs as the lowest of the factors. I think that both of the factors had 3 sig figs, and thus the product would also. (Example: 1.54*12.6=19.4)</p>
<p>How did everyone end up doing on the Physics? I managed getting a 760, so I’m pretty darn satisfied.</p>
<p>I got a 710 on physics, but considering I took less than a semester of honors physics, I consider this a success. Self studied with Kaplan for 3 weeks. Haha I felt I did terrible too.</p>

<p>@stpeters51 That’s what I did! Except I’m taking AP physics, but still less than half a semester nonetheless 
I self studied kaplan’s for about… 4 days. lmao It was pretty bad taking 2 practice tests in one day, but I felt very successful on getting such a good score with very little prep.</p>
<p>I got an 800!</p>
<p>@neohanyou - haha nice, but my honors class is seriously pathetic. We are probably moving slower than a normal class at any other high school. By the time I took my test, we were only up to momentum lol</p>
<p>Can anyone estimate what the curve was for this test? These questions look mysteriously similar to the ones on a more recent test.</p>
