Hi everyone!

I have been able to break a 290-300 on every subject on kaplan prac tests EXCEPT PHYSICS...I really am frustrated and am not sure what to do!

I have all of chads quizzes and notes
I can study Kaplan Physics subject tests
Also, I have physics destroyer

I exam is in 2 weeks.....any suggestions?

When you go over your missed questions, what's the reason for getting it wrong?
Is it because you don't understand what the question is asking? Or is does it have to do with memorizing the formula to use?

Whatever it is, go over your missed questions and find out what your weak points are, then master it. If your weak point is memorizing the equations, then rewrite the same equations over and over again or make a flashcard out of it. (This is just how I study physics lol.)

You'll be using equations a lot on the test (both math and understanding relationships between the variables) so if you know that's a weakness, focus on it. Flashcards are great for equations.

If it's your understanding of the material, that 's a tougher problem for two weeks.

i think there r always these points in every physics test, so after u go through some sample tests, u will find whats your weak points and work on it until u totally understand how to solve this kind of problems. i just had my oat yesterday and got 400 on physics.
btw does anyone knows that the final official score and the unofficial score u get right after test r the same or not?

Did you use Kaplan, chads, destroyer?

i only bought one thick kaplan study book for bio and chemistry. but i didnt spend much time on physics. cuz if u spend sometime on summarizing the important concepts or equations which r tested on the sample tests, u will find that they r all about the most important concepts, like for optics its always about the relatonship between object and image and sometime wavelength. so after some sample tests or after u go throuh some study notes, u will be clear that whats your weak points then just focus on that.
