I know we will need to memorize some basic equations for the Physical sciences portion, but do we need to memorize constants and conversion factors?

For example conversion factors like: feet to meter conversion, F to C, mmHg to atm?

And constants like: R, Avagadro's number, acceleration due to gravity?

Also, will I need to know chemical names based on the chemical symbol and vice versa?

Thanks!
 
You don't have to memorize too many constants. They'd be given to you in the passage. You should know pressure conversions (mmHg, atm, torr, Pa), I wouldn't worry about Feet/Meters, or F/C.

Avogadro, yes. R, no. Gravity, yes.

Yes to chemical names from symbols and vice-versa.
 
I wouldn't worry so much about memorizing conversions and equations just yet. After a 1500 questions or more, you'll have most of those things embedded in your cranium.

This. Most of the things you'll need to memorize will come naturally to you if you work enough passages. Don't worry about it.

Yep, this is gonna happen after enough time spent doing the Q's.
