<p>Are the olympiad problems similar to ap physics c?</p>

2

<p>bumppppppppp</p>

3

<p>Are USAMO problems similar to the problems on SAT Math?</p>

<p>

**LOL! NO! **</p>

<p>Olympiad physics is nowhere near Olympiad math problems. I looked at this test and some of the questions are pretty easy</p>

<p>It’s the 2004 MC portion.</p>

<p>What if I think of that as too easy?</p>

7

<p>Oops, that was intended for Octalc0de</p>

<p>He was referring to USAMO Math vs SAT Math.</p>

<p>He was being sarcastic saying that: Are USAMO problems like SAT math? (duh, obviously they’re not), implying that Olympiad Physics problems are also: duh, obviously nothing like AP Physics.</p>

<p>I was saying that the analogy is not fair since USAMO, olympic math problems, are not similar to olympic physics problems, and thus it can’t be inferred that they are automatically nothing like the collegeboard version of physics problems</p>

10

<p>Well I obviously cannot tell sarcasm on text. If it was, his sarcasm would be followed by a “:rolleyes:”</p>

11

<p>Oh well. But those 2004 olympic physics problems don’t look too hard, are they similar in difficulty to ap physics c problems - similar enough that I could use those problems for practice instead of buying prep books?</p>

12

<p>They look a bit easier than the AP Physics C ones though.</p>

13

<p>Which is more useful for the Physics Olympiad: AP Physics B or Physics C?</p>
