Archive SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>The school I want to go to requires a physics/chem SAT subject test.</p>

<p>Here’s the deal:</p>

<p>Chem, I suck at, but have prior knowledge, school has teachers willing to help</p>

<p>Physics, parents good at it, heard has a better curve, no prior knowledge at all</p>

<p>So which to pick? What books to study from? HELP!</p>

<p>Physics is pretty easy.
A lot of the questions are like…</p>

<p>If the length of a pendulum is doubled, what happens to the period of the pendulum.
T = 2pi(sqrt(length/g))
We can see that if the length is doubled, T is multiplied by sqrt(2)</p>

<p>Is it possible to get a 750+ if I study my butt off this year?</p>

<p>Yeah, it depends on how dedicated you are and how quickly / efficiently you can learn physics.</p>
