Testing What are the prerequisites for SAT subject tests and ACT without writing?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around preparing for the SAT Subject Tests in Physics and Math Level I and II, as well as the ACT (without writing). The original poster is self-studying and seeks guidance on prerequisite knowledge necessary for success on these exams. They express difficulty in finding a syllabus or structured study guide. A helpful response directs them to the College Board's SAT preparation page, specifically highlighting the "Getting Ready for the Test" section, which provides a detailed list of topics covered in the SAT Physics test. The original poster successfully finds the information they need for all SAT subject tests.

Hi, I don't know if this is the best place to post thia, but I'll give it a try :-)

I'm taking the SAT subject tests physics, math level I and level II, and the ACT test thia coming year. As I'm not following a high school curriculum, and am merely studying on my own, I really have no idea of which prerequisite knowledge I need to have in order to get the best possible grade. I tried finding a syllabus for at least one of the tests, without any luck. So if anyone has a link or an idea of what I need to know, I would immensely appreciate it.

PS. It is ACT w/o writing

In the "Getting Ready for the Test" section, click on the "Topics on the Test" link and you'll get a detailed list of topics.

Thank you so much! I found it for all the SAT subject tests now :-)
 
Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
