Tips and Test Prep for passing the ILTS Science Physics (243)


We've compiled a list of study tips to help you tackle your test preparation and ace your ILTS Science Physics exam. Whether you are just starting your journey with studying or need a bit of inspiration to refresh your routine, these tips are designed to give you the edge you need to pass your exam with flying colors.

Exam Plan are you ready

Create a ILTS Science: Physics Study Plan

  1. Review exam requirements: Check the Illinois Licensure Testing System's requirements for the ILTS Science Physics exam to make sure your studying approach suits the exam's format and content.

  2. Identify your learning style: Everyone learns differently, and most of us learn best when we get the same information in a variety of delivery methods. Identify the learning styles and studying approaches that best work for you to maximize your study efforts.

  3. Create a study schedule: Set aside dedicated study time each week to ensure you're making consistent progress. You might consider having dedicated sessions for each content area, such as a day or week dedicated to different sections of the exam. Plan to take practice tests at regular intervals to chart your progress.

  4. Take ILTS Science Physics practice tests: Practice exams will give you an idea of the types and format of questions that you can expect on test day. Our practice tests replicate the ILTS Science: Physics exam format, with 100 unique question on each practice test. By getting you comfortable with test-taking and getting the most out of your practice tests, our practice tests can help you ace your exam on test day.

General ILTS Science Physics Study Tips

  • Find a study partner: Do you have a colleague, classmate, or friend who is also pursuing a ILTS Science Physics certification? Studying with a partner can help keep you accountable and provide an opportunity for discussion and clarification. Practicing test questions together might be an opportunity for some friendly competition too!

  • Take breaks: Regular breaks can help prevent burnout and improve retention of information. As you study, give yourself regular pauses to decompress and process what you are learning.

  • Stay organized: Keep your notes, study materials, and practice exams organized to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Whether you prefer a physical or digital studying environment (for instance, taking notes by hand versus typing them into your Notes app), a tidy space and methodical approach will help you stay focused on your test prep.

  • Take care of your physical health: A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, so make sure your test prep routine also prioritizes exercise, nutrition, and sleep during your study period. During the lead-up to your ILTS Science: Physics test day, don't cram - get plenty of rest so your brain is sharp!

  • Utilize test-taking strategies: Techniques, like the process of elimination, can help improve your chances of success. If you are stuck on a difficult practice exam question, try to rule out one or two options to narrow down the possible answer. Exam Edge's test-taking system allows you to flag practice test questions you want to return to - use these features to your advantage!
By incorporating these study tips into your preparation process, you will be well on your way to success with the ILTS Science: Physics exam. Remember, success requires dedication and hard work - don't give up!

ILTS Science Physics - Study Plan Tips Sample Questions

If a simple magnifier with a focal length of 10 cm is used to see an object, what will be its angular magnification for the eyes to feel relaxed?





Correct Answer:
2.5
to solve the question regarding the angular magnification of a simple magnifier (such as a magnifying glass) when viewing an object with the eyes relaxed, we need to understand a few key concepts about how magnifiers work and what "eyes relaxed" implies in terms of viewing distance.

the angular magnification (m) of a magnifier is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the image when viewed through the magnifier (\(\theta\)) to the angle subtended by the object when viewed directly from a typical near point distance, often taken as 25 cm for a relaxed eye (\(\theta_0\)). the formula for angular magnification is given by: \[ m = \frac{\theta}{\theta_0} \]

when a magnifier is used, and the eye is relaxed, the image formed by the magnifier is at infinity. this means that the object is placed at the focal point of the magnifying lens. when the object is at the focal point of the lens, the rays emerging from the lens are parallel, allowing the eye to view them without any strain or need for accommodation.

given the focal length \( f \) of the magnifier, the angular magnification can alternatively be calculated using the formula: \[ m = 1 + \frac{d}{f} \] where \( d \) is the closest normal viewing distance (often considered as 25 cm for a relaxed eye).

in this specific question, the focal length \( f \) of the magnifier is given as 10 cm. plugging this value into the formula gives: \[ m = 1 + \frac{25 \text{ cm}}{10 \text{ cm}} = 1 + 2.5 = 3.5 \]

therefore, the angular magnification of the magnifier when the eye feels relaxed (viewing an image at infinity) is 3.5. this indicates that the image seen through the magnifier appears 3.5 times larger in angular size than when viewed with the naked eye from the normal near point distance of 25 cm. the calculation shows that none of the options provided (2.5, -25) directly matches the correct answer, and the answer should be 3.5, which is not listed among the given choices.

lastly, angular magnification does not have a unit because it is a ratio of two angles. both angles are typically measured in radians or degrees, and thus their units cancel out when divided. hence, angular magnification is expressed as a dimensionless number.
