SAT Subject Test Preparation - a few Discussion

We discussed SAT II Subject Test areas today. We used the Collegeboard Student Guide that has FULL Syllabus for Math + Physics + Chemistry.

  1. We discussed what areas to concentrate in Maths - Function, Geometry (mainly Measurement), Trigonometry will be important test area.
  2. In Physics we identified emphasis areas such as: Mechanics, Electromagnetism, (Optics and Waves = small area but, there will be 5-6 Q.), Thermodynamics, Modern Physics = Special Theory of Relativity, Quantum, Nuclear Physics = these are also small areas but at least 1+1+1 Q. will be set.)
  3. In Chemistry there will be 3 types of Specialized Questions. You have to get used to these types. There are highest number of questions - 84 in total - that you have to do in 1 hour. This is truly Devil's Subject. One heavy area in Structure and States of Matters. Chemistry Reaction Type, Stoichiometry, and Equillibrium (expect 3 questions) and Reaction Rates. 
Below is a conversation I had with Naveen. He suggests that one should follow only Princeton for Chemistry as it is enough for preparation. But for Maths he strongly recommends Barron's.
