Barron's SAT Subject Test Physics (Barron's SAT Subject Test Physics)

One diagnostic test and three complete SAT Subject Tests in Physics reflect the most recent actual tests in length, subject matter, and degree of difficulty. All questions are answered and explained. Self-assessment guides after each test can help improve the test-taker's score. An extensive subject review covers all topics on the SAT Subject Test, including mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, thermodynamics, and more. Unique new features include a "What's the Trick?" approach to solving problems quickly and effectively. Added tips, called out with "If You See..." are included within the chapters to give test takers critical insight into difficult concepts. Each chapter is followed by several review questions with answers and explanations. The authors also provide general examination strategies and a detailed appendix with equations, physical constants, and a basic math review.

Robert Jansen has taught Advanced Placement Physics since 1998. He holds a bachelor's degree in psychobiology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a master's degree in education from Pepperdine University. His teaching methods derive from his belief that physics does not need to be mysterious or difficult. The result has been a large and competitive AP physics program in Aliso Viejo, California that brings in more than 220 students each year. Greg Young has been teaching high school physics and chemistry for more than twenty years. He holds a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of California, San Diego, and a master's degree in science education from USC. He believes that science made interesting is science worth learning, and creates engaging, interactive lessons that help students form a relevant context for difficult scientific concepts.
