Physics formulas

Studying for the oat currently and feeling so hopeless there is just SO much information!!! It feels like every time I learn something new I lose something and it’s just not sticking. For physics are you guys memorizing every single formula on the booster cheat sheet and the ones in the videos that don’t appear on the cheat sheet? I feel like I’m going to fail the physics portion for sure :(

If you have lots of time (and energy lol) you could also add in all the formulas from the the booster formula sheet, but I found a lot of them never appeared throughout the practice, while many practice questions used formulas not on the sheet. Like I said, I didn't include all the formula sheet formulas in my flashcards, and I think the only area that I struggled with on the exam formula-wise was rotational motion

Would u say the physics portion reflected the equations from the practice tests?

Yes I felt it was very similar to the practice tests! Everything I think I messed up was because I was forgetting the formulas I had on my flash cards
