Revising High School Material for SAT-like Exams

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for algebra-based revision materials for SAT-like exams introduced in high school. The user has found Serway's physics book helpful but seeks a similar resource focused on algebra. Key topics for revision include Newton's mechanics, fluid mechanics, waves, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. The user expresses a desire to solidify their understanding of these subjects ahead of the exams.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of high school physics concepts such as Newton's mechanics and thermodynamics.
  • Familiarity with algebraic principles relevant to physics.
  • Knowledge of SAT-like exam formats and requirements.
  • Experience with educational resources and textbooks in physics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research algebra-based physics textbooks similar to Serway's, focusing on high school curriculum.
  • Explore online resources or courses that cover SAT-like exam preparation in physics.
  • Review practice problems and past SAT-like exam questions related to the discussed topics.
  • Investigate study groups or forums dedicated to SAT preparation for collaborative learning.
USEFUL FOR

High school students preparing for SAT-like exams, educators seeking effective teaching materials, and anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of algebra-based physics concepts.

So, since this is my first post on this forum I'd like to say hello to everyone. This year SAT-like exams are introduced in my school so I want to revise all the material from these 4 years of high-school education. I've tried Serway's book - it's nice, I can understand it completely, but I need an algebra-based book. It would be great if there's a Serway-like algebra book ;). The material is pretty much everything: Newton's mechanics, fluid mechanics, waves, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and a bit of quantum mechanics (maybe I missed something, but you get the idea). I've studied all those topics with no problems, but I can't quite remember everything at the moment :(.

Btw, I hope this is the right forum for this question, thanks in advance :)
No, it's not :( Can someone please move it?

It's an older book, and some of the ideas are a bit obsolete, but it will still make you think. The subject is AI and the Mind. It's called The Improbable Machine by Jeremy Campbell. ISBN 0-671-65711-9
 
Welcome to the PF, dzogi. I'm of no help on your question, unfortunately, but I think you will get some helpful responses here. Your post has been moved to the matching PF forum.
