Physics Applications
Kinematics, Statics, Dynamics, Rotational Motion, Energy & Momentum, SimpleHarmonic Motion, Waves, Fluids, Thermal Energy & Thermodynamics, Electrostatics, D.C. Circuits, Optics
Most of Physics comes down to quickly matching the content provided to a formula, but there are layers of strategy beyond that! We’ll show you all the tips and tricks to maximizing your performance on questions involving: units and vectors, linear kinematics, fluid statics, enthalpy, entropy, Gibb’s, conservation laws, electrostatics, resistors, capacitors, Ohm’s, Faraday, lensmaker equation, waves, sound, light, real and virtual predictions, harmonic motion, springs, frequency, period, wavelength, electric potential, current, conductance, insulation, rotational motion, torque, gravitational systems, projectiles, and inclined planes.
Reading Comprehension
Ability to Read, Comprehend, and Thoroughly Analyze Scientific Information in Passages
You might already know that prior understanding of the science topics presented in the passages is not a prerequisite to answering the test items. But it sure helps to have 50+ passages (with full question sets) to practice with! Learn the expert-devised strategies to help you read, comprehend, and thoroughly analyze the information. Oh yeah, and get all of your points!
Quantitative Reasoning
Mathematical Problems, Data Analysis, Interpretation, and Sufficiency; Quantitative Comparison; and Probability and Statistics • Applied Mathematics (Word) Problem
It might be years since you’ve seen these topics (flashbacks of SAT, ACT), but we’ll have you making your old Algebra teacher proud! Incorporating our best-selling Quantitative Reasoning Foundations course (for free!) lets you can see these concepts from every angle (hah!). Learn test shortcuts to triumph over questions on: algebra, equations and expressions, inequalities, exponential notation, absolute value, ratios and proportions, and graphical analysis.
The best guarantee is one you won’t need. But you get it anyway.
