Barron's SAT Subject Test: Physics - Softcover

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 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, and QR codes are provided at "Key Concept" areas link to short videos to enhance instruction. Each chapter is followed by several review questions with answers and explanations.
