SUMMARY

The SAT II Physics test is primarily conceptual, with no calculator allowed, as confirmed by participants in the forum discussion. Users noted that the free practice questions provided by the College Board are easier than the actual test questions. One participant achieved a score of 720 despite having minimal physics knowledge, indicating that with basic understanding, high scores are attainable. Recommended resources include the College Board's sample questions and the SparkNotes review book, while Barron's materials may be overly challenging.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of SAT II Physics test format
  • Familiarity with conceptual physics principles
  • Access to the College Board's SAT Subject Test Preparation Booklet

Hi everybody

I solved today the questions that the college board put in it's free guide pdf. But these questions are very very easy! is this also the level of the real sat II physics test's questions?

Is there any free online source to prepare for this test??


Thanks a lot :)

Don't worry, that exam is really easy. I didn't know anything about physics back in high school, had the worst teacher ever. Nobody in my class made above a 3 on the AP exam but I still got a 720 on the SATII. So if you know at all what you're doing you should be fine.
 
Is the SAT II test more computational or more conceptual?
 
It's conceptual, and if you're pretty good at physics you could very well get an 800 with no problem. I used the sparknotes review book and I found it pretty helpful. Barron's seemed more difficult than the actual SAT II and I feel like I wasted time because of their book.
