4. Geometry overview: parallel lines, triangle, polygon, congruent and similar

Physics Concepts and SAT II
The primary goals of this course are to review the key concepts in Physics, and to help students in preparing for the SAT II Physics test. If you plan to pursue a math- or science-based program of study (such as science, technology, engineering or math), you probably should consider preparing and taking the Physics Subject Test. Since the SAT II Physics exam covers almost identical subjects as AP Physics B curriculum, students who are interested in learning the latter subject will also benefit from this course.
See you on Sunday!
Regards,
Nan and Guangsong
