insightfull comment

This is a good book a source of information for what comes in the test. But the actual test is more difficult than the practice tests in the book

are you ready to be a professional physicists?

ok, basically i took AS physics (british system) and did pretty bad (D.) I decided to take the SAT 2 physics to show what im really made of to the universities, and this book came along. Essentially this book is difficult to comprehend, its probably useful to study it with a tutor. It has so much detail most of it does not come up in the exam, but knowing more than what is needed is better than knowing less. I got 690 which isnt entirely good i.e 800 but its acceptable. I did this without a tutor so one might succeed with a tutor and this book.

Good Review

If you are taking Physics I, and want to do well on SAT2 and your final exam, this is a good review book. Even though the book is not very detail, but it gives u an idea about what you learned. Well, if you are taking AP Physics, this is nothing for you, not help. I used this book for my Final and SAT2 after my 1st year physics, I did well on SAT2. Then, I went on to take AP,Princeton Review is a lot better.

Does it explain Einstien???

Well I take A-level physics in a foreign country, this book told me everything that I needed to know for the American exams.It's detail is a lot more than what is required for the real SAT II. The questions are much harder, so when I took the actual test, it seemed like cheese cake.I would buy this book if one has a lot of time to peruse and understand it, then you would know more than what you need to know, you wouldn't be scraping by.I do agree that some of the questions are miscalculated, but that doesn't hinder the quality of the book too much. Out of a total of 4 tests, there are enough questions to keep you going. Just don't get worried at the difficultly level.
