<p>:P There are plenty SAT IIs to take. But I'm int he same predicament. I'm not taking any classes that help prepare for them. So I get raped by them. No es fun.</p>
<p>Thing is - I hate science and could only possibly do:</p>
<p>French
Chinese
Latin
Literature
Math I/II</p>
<p>Of those, I'm half Chinese so for some reason this means they expect me to be good (in fact I'm crap) and Latin bores me stiff (and I gave up last year so have forgotten most of it). Thus this leaves me with Literature, French, Math I/II. World history seems popular but requires preparation. So in the end I opted for those three and chose Math I... I might take Math II next time because of the curve.</p>
<p>I think it's really idiotic how they don't have social science subjects like Economics and Politics.. they would be easy to write a test for, and really easy to do well in.</p>
<p>Write a proposal to the college board. =P It's what i'm going to do.</p>
<p>You seriously going to do that? Do you reckon they'll listen?</p>
<p>Not sure whether you're joking or not, but either way I reckon it's quite a good idea. I might do so, see what they have to say.</p>
<p>Part joking/Serious.</p>
<p>I really think that if you're a science lover - you'll succeed in the SAT II's. Which is generally the case. The choice for subjects is highly limited, of which I feel the SAT II's are not fullfilling their potetential as a decent way of assessment regarding applications.</p>
<p>I just sent it :P</p>
<p>seriously no disrespect...but how did you not know what an absolute value sign was?????????.. i thought you were joking... you shouldn't be taken math 2 or math 1 if you don't know what an aboslute value sign is.</p>
<p>For Ace Backs defence - we do not learn about absolute value signs. We simply have a "+"</p>
<p>ikwame - we're not taught these strange mathematical symbols over here. Anyhow, it didn't come up on my paper - so UP YOURS!! HAHA!!</p>
<p>We also don't learn those odd coordinates with three numbers in the brackets as opposed to two. Weeeird.</p>
<p>Huh? You don't? I could've sworn modulus (which is the same thing as absolute value) is in the A Level syllabus.</p>
<p>Well, maybe it'll come up next year.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Absolute value doens't mean positive. You guys are retarded. It means length. Jesus ****ing Christ. </p>
<p>Also, you didn't know 3-D points? ***?</p>
<p>
Heheheh that is classic, coming from an American (I assume?).</p>
<p>Anyhow someone earlier was explaining that absolute value means positive.. but please explain how it means 'length'.</p>
<p>Ace, let's not force ourselves into a corner. This is different from TSR. Neg Reps are replaced with bombs.</p>
<p>Heheheh</p>
<p>Are you in L6 by the way? Done any SATs yet?</p>
<p>No. I'm not looking forward to Maths though! Sh'it. All these complicated fu'cking ")0325902i9503i~''/#x}] = 2.</p>
<p>When it comes to vectors, magnitude = the absolute value/modulus of the length. (So a negative vector will still have a positive magnitude; |-7|=7.) The "positive" definition isn't all that far off, though. A number between modulus signs is always the positive version of that number.</p>
<p>Oh are they referring to vectors? We've done those.. never with equations in the middle but yeah, someone could have told me. Cheers johnlee</p>
<p>It doesn't always refer to vectors; it's often used in equations as well. (For instance, the modulus of +-sqrt2 is always the positive version of sqrt2.) I could have sworn questions like these appear on the SAT I as well, btw.</p>
<p>Ace-- i think i saw you posting on the Math I thread, saying you had taken it. absolute value was definitely on it.</p>
