Discussion of the 2019 exam;
I expect a low cutoff - several challenging conceptual problems.
On 2019 A, at least.
Really hoping for a low cutoff, don’t think I did too well : (
This test was quite conceptual - problems required significant thought, although I believe I scored well. This was the first test which actually took the full 75 minutes for me.
I did worse than I usually do on past tests and used up all of the time. I think the cutoff will be 15-16 though, not too low but not too high either.
I took the 2019 A btw.
Are you sure 15-16? This test seemed more difficult than 2018. Maybe 13-14 ish?
B was definitely easier, however.
How do you think you scored? I think 19+ for me.
I’m going to wait until Monday to discuss actually since I don’t want to get into trouble with test security and stuff lol
when will we get our test packet back and when will answers be posted?
3rd week of February, I believe. How do you think you scored, cindersnow?
I’m receiving so many different answers from online forums and friends to each question i don’t even know how i did anymore. What did you guys get for moment of inertia of a disk that had the center part removed and then sliced in half? (5/2 hopefully?). Also what did you guys get for the question that asked how far up the block would go once it shot off the vertical edge of a wedge or something (#3 on A)?
I probably got 16 this time. rip. I usually get 19. Hopefully this is enough.
“In order to maintain exam security, do not communicate any information about the
questions (or their answers or solutions) on this contest until after February 20, 2019”
Please abide by this rule… We don’t want our USAPhO selections to be rescinded!
Oh, since the AoPS discussion opened I assumed that it would be alright. Thanks for telling me
