<p>I’m currently using Kaplan to study, and I’ve heard that it’s much easier than the actual test. I have a few questions about this as well as some other things.
- How much easier is Kaplan than the real test?
- Is the actual test going to be more conceptual-based or problem-based? If it’s a mix, about what percent of each is the test?
- <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/facts-and-formulas-3-ref.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/facts-and-formulas-3-ref.pdf</a> Is this list of equations good? I know of some other equations not included on this sheet (more minor ones), but if they aren’t listed on here, do you need to know them?
- Is Kaplan + Sparknotes enough to get me a high score? Barron’s seemed off and weird and had some wrong answers…don’t really want to use it.
- Even if Kaplan is easier, is the content roughly similar? Like are the equations Kaplan lists sufficient for the test? Do I need to know more complicated things that Kaplan doesn’t mention? Also, Kaplan does less problems/math and more conceptual/figuring out relations between things. Will that be true of the test?
- Will the test actually have random/stupid trivia/facts that we need to know? I saw a question on Kaplan test asking about some history thing, and then a few other ones requiring you to recall which color had the longest wavelength…are those kinds of things necessary to know?
- Kaplan’s first test was FILLED with electricity/magnetism which we haven’t covered in school yet, so I did bad on it. Its second test was very different; lots of heat stuff that I didn’t know and some stupid random facts. Also, I think there was only one question on lenses/mirrors (last question)! What should I expect content-wise of the actual test?</p>
<p>Overall, any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!</p>
