5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the SAT's Physics, June 9, 2008

This review is from: Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)

I bought two books for my Physics SAT: Barron's and this. I was extremely disappointed with Barron's Physics. Compared to this, it was just... pointless.

This book covers every major topic covered on the SAT Physics in just the right amount. Not too extensive, but covers all the stuff you need for getting at least a 700.

But let me warn you: Though this book covers all topics on the SAT Physics Subject Test, it won't help you much if your fundamentals aren't clear. You still need to know (or understand) SOME of the concepts that are not explained in this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars good for a last minute cram, March 18, 2008

This book does a good job at serving those of us who cram the day before the exam. It gives short and clear explanations.

I'd recommend the one for the ap b exam over this one. A lot of things, including multiple choice, are the same and it costs a teeny bit less.

This review is from: Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test, 2007-2008 Edition (College Test Preparation) (Paperback)

This is probably the biggest SAT II review book I have ever seen. Bigger than any AP review book either (unless it's AP Physics). The book goes into (necessary) detail on every topic you need to know for the test. I am taking it in 35 hours from now and I am only on chapter 5 out of 7. Give yourself ample time to study, especially if you have never taken a mathematical physics class before (like me). It's lots of heavy duty work, but I'm sure the payoff is worth it. Or I hope so.
