Hey, just wondering if anyone is doing the physics sat II. I saw the ap thread below, and it got me wondering if there's many other high school students here. So, yes, just out of curiosity, anyone doing sat's / sat II's?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I took it last year for college admissions--- would you like to know what the structure, grading etc is?
 
any advice would be appreciated - I am writing it in 2 weeks, and a bit nervous...lol
 
I took it a few years back when I was trying to transfer into MIT (didn't get in...).

One thing which I wasn't expecting was a few questions on famous experiments.

Read up on what they were trying to prove... things like the Photoelectric effect, the oil drop experiment (the one which got me), etc.
