Is there any specific math formulas I should memorize? Also I heard you get penalty for guessing, is that true? How does that even work? Is not getting credit for a question the same having points taken off?
Please answer soon Im worried about this test >.< thank you!
Step 1. Spell columbia’s name right (jk)
I took the test 2 years ago without any prep beforehand and got in. However that’s really just because I was taking precalc at the time (so know math up to precalc), had experience with the amc (do lots of amc practice, but only the first 10 or 15 questions - the test isnt crazy hard on this), and did science olympiad (i did lots of earth science events and that helped me with those questions, but tbh its a pretty even split)
No idea about the guessing penalty, but I think I guessed on a lottttt on the science section (i was a freshie who only knew earth science and physics and veryyy basic bio) and I still got in, so yeah.
Yeah I am confident for Physic cause I took AP on that freshmen year. But I never did AMC, what are strategies you use to approach these challenge questions? What about the math section? Everyone says that its just SAT Level 1 stuff. And I’m taking honors bio right now, how advanced are the questions on it? We’re only on genetics right now in my school. Like I’m a junior, so I think they expect more.
