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.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
