Or better yet, just do physics problem from a textbook.antoine_ego wrote:Check the test exchange.Randomperson11 wrote:Also, is anyone willing to PM me any tests? Any one of them from invitationals, even from last year will help. Thanks a lot.

Re: Hovercraft B/C
Hovercraft tests are literally tests with physics problems on them. If you want to practice, consider just looking at a physics textbook or searching for problems online. Practice tests for Hovercraft likely give you nothing new.Randomperson11 wrote:Checked the test exchange alraedy actually!

If you really want a Hovercraft practice test, go to http://scioly.mit.edu/archive/ and look at last year's.

Re: Hovercraft B/C
If you can, try to see if you can check out an AP Physics 1 textbook for free from your textbook library if your school has one. It's free, and is practical. (The Giancoli 7th AP ed. has loads of practice questions per section)Adi1008 wrote:Hovercraft tests are literally tests with physics problems on them.

Re: Hovercraft B/C
Adding on to what QuantumEcho said: if getting a physical textbook isn't possible (or worth the price), you can find PDFs of a lot of them online.QuantumEcho wrote:If you can, try to see if you can check out an AP Physics 1 textbook for free from your textbook library if your school has one.

Re: Hovercraft B/C
Not sure about raw build score, but we placed 4th overall. I did see one team with 4 huge containers for pennies though. That was pretty spookshrewdPanther46 wrote:Just curious (if you don't mind sharing), how was that build score in comparison to others?ftf841 wrote:Fairfax in Virginiaarv101 wrote: That's good, which invitational was this?
How many pennies has everyone been able to place on their craft?

Re: Hovercraft B/C
From what I have seen, it isnt rare to have maxed out penny bonus... but most are not at that point yet.
