January 2012: Math Level 2

<p>I’m completely sure it said “contain”, because I triple-checked that question’s wording. Are you positive that (-4,7) was an answer choice?</p>

<p>yes fairly certain it had (-4,7) but I guess not 100% sure on the contains. but I thought it didn’t have it. I put (0,2) however…</p>

<p>@somewhere I think that was what I read. but I might be omitting the word “contain” in my memory because I don’t want it to be there. idk currently I remember the question without the contain tho.</p>

<p>I don’t think (0,2) is right because it doesn’t contain the whole solution set. But if (-4,7) was also an answer choice, then perhaps they made a mistake with that question?</p>

<p>SilentBunny, I would hypothetically bet $100 that it said “contains”. At first I didn’t read the word so I was confused as to why [-2,2] wasn’t an option, but then I reread the question several times and realized it does have “contains”.</p>

<p>well then why did it have 2 answers that could potentially fit the solution? and, I somewhat doubt College Board would test something as stupid and absurd as that… but I could be wrong. oh well, if that is the case then I got 2 wrong. not too bad.</p>

<p>I know, it’s weird, but there’s no way it could be (0,2) either. But I guess it doesn’t matter too much either, because like you, if I got this one wrong, it’d still only be 2 wrong.</p>

<p>If I got this one wrong, I’m down to a 790 lol :(</p>

<p>how many did you getwrong</p>

<p>the question had the word contains in it.</p>

<p>Also the range was from (-4, 1) which didnt work</p>

<p>the remaining choices were
(-3, 3)
(-1, 4)
(0, 2)
(0, 5)</p>

<p>which is why -3 3 works</p>

<p>what does a 1 blank, 3 wrong look like overall? 800?</p>

<p>I don’t think “contains” is as much a keyword as “all” is… Are you guys sure it said “all” and not something else, for instance “only”?</p>

<p>Unless the curve was unusually harsh (which I doubt, because this test wasn’t significantly easier than normal), that would still be at 800.</p>

<p>And oh, thank God, at the (-4,1). That’s what I thought at first too.</p>

<p>OrbInfinite: It definitely didn’t say “only”. I believe the wording was “Which of the following intervals contains the solution set of x^2 < 4?”.</p>

<p>What would 3 wrong and 2 skipped be? 800?
And would you consider this test harder or easier than usual?
It’s my first time taking 2C math so I’m not sure…</p>

<p>That would most likely be a 790. This was my first time too, but I think it was a little harder than the blue book.</p>

<p>Just curious, are test takers allowed to use the TI nSpire CX WITH the Computational Algebra System? That would have provided for an incredible advantage I feel like, and thought it wasn’t allowed; but they asked you on the Background Questions if it was the calculator you were using on the test.</p>

<p>^ -6 could also be an 800, considering that the most generous curve is -7 for 800.</p>

<p>I used a TI-84 but I felt like I would’ve done fine with a scientific one since there weren’t a lot of complicated equations to do.</p>

<p>If the rules said you can use it, then I guess you can. </p>

<p>I used a TI-89 for graphing and a regular scientific calculator for everything else because I’m most comfortable with it. I was actually surprised because I didn’t need the graphing calculator for any of the questions; I just used it to double-check a question or two concerning graphs.</p>

<p>The two lines intersecting a plane was infinitely many because you can just rotate around the line. I put 2 for that, unfortunately >< The one with the functions was (0,z,0).</p>

<p>What was the one with the plane intersecting the cube? The choices were I. square II. parallelogram III. triangle. It was all three, right? The fact that they put both “square” and “parallelogram” threw me off because a square is a parallelogram.</p>
