DECEMBER 2008 SAT Subject Test: Math Level 2

<p>Just got back on the west coast.</p>

<p>Omitted 16, 5-8 wrong
estimate score please?</p>

<p>I don't understand how you guys can finish all the questions :o
Props to all of you who can handle all that... lotta work.</p>

<p>Am I looking at a 650ish?</p>

<p>does anyone remember the combination question for the experiment samples? what was the answer to that?</p>

<p>for the people who've taken the Math II previously, was this month's easier than usual? hopefully the curve won't be lower...</p>

<p>King, use your Blue Book to calculate your score!</p>

<p>If you got 5-8 wrong you got 50-16 = 34 -5 = 29 - 26 </p>

<p>29 to 26 then subtract (5).25 or 8(.25) </p>

<p>your max is 28 which translates to roughly 630.</p>

<p>The sample question was 7280 I think. Use combination? Nov was about same level.</p>

<p>lolilaughed, thanks for replying, do you mind explaining how you came to that, if you can remember? i put the 3 million something answer, i did something where i did 16 C 4, 1820 C 4 after that. no choice came out, so i just picked the one that was in the millions...probably wrong.</p>

<p>the only one i omitted was the one with the triangle and the line outside of it on the unit circle...otherwise, a few were tough...</p>

<p>it would be 16 C 4, ---> then you take 1 of the 4 which means for every combo you can take four</p>

<p>imagine a branch --> 16 C 4 x 4 = 7280</p>

<p>the 3,000000 was kind of a joe bloggs answer so to speak (PR)</p>

<p>I thought this test was incredibly easy; I don't think I got any wrong unless I bubbled incorrectly..
is this the usual level of difficulty or will today's warrant a harder curve?</p>

<p>This is the usual difficulty I think.</p>

<p>that's what i was wondering...i was surprised by the lack of skill-specific questions, matrices, hyperbolas, even law of cosine...
i wouldn't say incredibly easy though...i found 5 questions were a little iffy...</p>

<p>^I think you could use law of cosine on one of them, lol.</p>

<p>Same, what about the radius from the angle on the plane?</p>

<p>Yes you could use law of cos on the triangle question with the side & angle. what question was the radius from angle on the plane?</p>

<p>lol that was the one i omitted - i couldn't figure out how to approach it, rushed, went back after finishing everything else and time was up.</p>

<p>Are you guys talking about the equation for the two points on a plane?</p>

<p>isn't this the one with the triangle and segment RS, where the answers were something like 1 - cosx, 1-sinx, something or other? that's the one i think you guys are talking about, i didn't see a law of cosine problem in there when i tried it...</p>

<p>The law of cosine was not the polar problem. It was one of the med questions.</p>

Lol skipped that one</p>

<p>^ Yea, i saw polar and then i stopped thinking.</p>

<p>Today's test seemed to me of a regular difficulty. Nothing outrageous. Standard deviation gets stale.
I like one with a triangle and a hexagon. My answer 2 sqrt(3).</p>
