Dec 4th SAT-II Physics

<p>I remember one of the choices was that it was a permanent magnet with two south poles. Is that even possible?</p>

<p>Edit: Your explanation makes sense to me, asbereth. I haven't heard of a magnet with two north or two south poles but I don't know that much about magnets (unfortunately)...</p>

<p>but how is that possible? that was one of the dumb confusing questions.. augh</p>

<p>asbereth, it never said that it's ONLY being attracted to the north pole</p>

<p>no it can't have two identical poles</p>

<p>but having both poles be south wasn't an asnwer choice</p>

<p>ok so what answer did everybody choose? I picked that it can be magnetized or something, it was D, and wasnt one of hte "permanent magnet" answers</p>

<p>yes, i think it was
choices:</p>

<p>1)two south poles
2)two north poles
3)south and north pole
4)insulator
5)able to be magnetized</p>

<p>bsbllallstr8, I think I put the same thing you did.</p>

<p>flip flop 4 and 5... im pretty sure magnetized was D , anybody else remember?</p>

<p>It Has To Be The Magnetized One</p>

<p>on to another question: i put fission or fusion as an answer, i just don't remember the question</p>

<p>are you sure there was a choice "permanent magnet with two south poles"? i thought it was just permanent magnet</p>

<p>i hope so! i really need a high score!</p>

<p>how many did you people omit?</p>

<p>I omitted question 41, and i remember the number because i forgot to skip a space on my answer sheet and had to erease 5 answers when i realized what i had done. i wish they had a bubble for "skip" or something .. lol i always screw that up!</p>

<p>come on...anyone with fusion or fission an an answer for one of the first questions??</p>

<p>what was the question?</p>

<p>i just don't remember, but if you don't remember any answers being fission or fusion it probably wasn't right</p>

<p>mmm i dont remember it... but it may be just lost in my head somewhere.. what was the answer for the VERY FIRST QUESTION? it was like which two of these are out of..... and i didnt even know what the word meant?</p>

<p>I don't remember fission or fussion... I omitted at least twelve but probably less than 20 (I hope). I looked at each question and if I couldn't figure out a good guess right away, I skimped. I thought I would just go back at the end but I only got to like 70 before time was called. I was so suprised and annoyed that I was so slow... When I took three other SAT II's in October (Writing, Math 2C, and Literature) I not only finished but I had time to check every problem. </p>

<p>Do you know if people do especially bad on this one (I know a couple of you said you think you did well so maybe this wasn't an especially hard one but...) do they scale it more or do they just figure it was a less talented group of test takers?</p>

<p>I think it was, "Which of these two are out of phase?" As in (I think) which of them have a different frequency?</p>

<p>Edit: I mean, which graph has two waves that are out of phase?</p>

<p>raw score of 63 out of 75 is still an 800... i think... only like 5% of people that take it get an 800. so its not an easy test. however, it can be one of the harder tests for people that have takin one year of physics... (like me... but i preped like crazy for it) one kid in my school got 580.. so people do get low</p>
