Tutoring for 11th Grade Physics - Understanding "Stat"

[Nuha99]

I am beginning to provide tutoring. Today one parent had a request like this:

"I needs help with physics stat for my daughter (11 th grade)."

What does she mean by 'physics stat'?

Thanks.

You should ask her. Apart from the obvious interpretation ("statistics"), which doesn't make much sense for an 11th grader, "stat" is a term in the medical profession used to mean "immediately."

I did not want to ask her then, because it might turn her away from me. Now that you have said that stat is not some thing that a 11 th grader would not do, I will ask her. She sounded that she wanted this help asap.

Thanks for your answer.

Perhaps she meant physics SAT (a standardized test).
