Introduction to SAT II Physics
The best way to do well on SAT II Physicsis to be really good at physics. For that, there is no substitute. Butthe physics whiz who spends the week before SAT II Physics cramming onLagrangian mechanics and Dirac notation probably won't fare any betterthan the average student who reviews this book carefully. Why? BecauseSAT II Physics Tests (and first-year university courses) do not coverLagrangian mechanics or Dirac notation. Take this moment to sigh withrelief.
This chapter will tell you precisely what SAT II Physics [i]will[/i]test you on, how the test breaks down, and what format the questionswill take. You should read this information carefully and base yourstudy plan around it. There's no use spending hours on end studying forstuff that's not relevant to the test. Knowing nothing aboutelectromagnetic induction will hurt you on the test, but nowhere nearas much as knowing nothing about optics will.
