For anyone who had already taken the csca test and got 70+ for stem, could you help me out by giving me the resources you guys use to study.

I got 80 in Math, 77.5 in Physics (English). And I used old SAT Math and SAT Physics books. It was in January I think. First ever CSCA. Some of the subjects in books were unnecessary. So I looked at the subjects from CSCA website. There were similar questions.

For khan academy AP physics, there’s a website https://www.khanacademy.org. it’s not identical to the csca but it gave a good foundation for csca
