<p>That was enjoyable.</p>
<p>Yeah, I didn't think it was very hard. Definitely easier than Barron's of course, but only a little harder than Sparknotes.</p>
<p>I almost panicked because I came here in the morning right before leaving for the test center and saw the first 2 posts in this thread saying how hard it was. I was almost considering not taking it/cancelling it even before I took it.</p>
<p>But I'm glad I took it. Hopefully an 800, I answered all of them and there was only 1 that I was very unsure about.</p>
<p>I didn't answer like 5-6 of them, and I guessed on like 5...score?</p>
<p>Hm... well guessing on 5 by probability will probably mean getting one right, but missing 4, meaning +1 and -1 = 0. So you're looking at a 44-45 raw? That sounds like an 800 to me, if you were right on all the rest of them. But I'm no expert.</p>
<p>I meant that I missed 5 PLUS omitting like 5-6</p>
<p>Getting an 800's going to be tough then, unless the curve is very generous this time round. That works out to a raw score of about 38 or 39. Not good. :{</p>
<p>Is it a high 700 at least?</p>
<p>I'm not familiar with the typical curve, but I think it's in the mid-700s. The curve gets very harsh once you aren't in the mystical realm of 800; I think you lose about 10 points for every raw mark lost. Taking the cutoff point for 800 as 43, that works out to about 750 or 760.</p>
<p>There were several Calc questions on there, weren't there? A line rotated around X axis, limit of a fraction (l'Hopitals)... I didn't think there was supposed to be any calc on the test, took me by surprise.</p>
<p>According to Sparkies approximate scores, 43 is an 800, and it goes down 10 points per raw point all the way through 31 and 680. Don't know how accurate that is, though.</p>
<p>Anybody have any estimates as to how the test was compared to what it usually is? Curve estimates?</p>
<p>Those aren't calc questions...are they? They were quite easy anyhow. The rotation one produced a cone (if I'm not mistaken), and the answer of the limit of the fraction was 5. (Just set X=2.0000001 in your calculator and type out the equation.)</p>
<p>Most books say that you can expect an average of 0.5 questions on limits per test. So that was not unusal.</p>
<p>For the porabola, instead of adding the two bases, i multiplied th two bases....i feel so stupid OMG and to get the height you would take the line segment/2 to get x, and plug x back into y = 4-x^2...damn!</p>
<p>The only question that could be considered calc was the limit (although many precalculus classes cover an introduction to limits). And you didn't need to use l'hopitals (in fact, you couldn't), just factor.</p>
<p>what did you guys get for the problem where they gave you the domain [1,2] and you have to choose whih range could not occur?</p>
<p>what a dumb problem [1,2,3] is 3demention notation, and we are clearly in 2d</p>
<p>towards the end, the f(x) and f^-1(x), was it symmetric about the y=x line?</p>
<p>dahuie:
The answer was the solution with three numbers in the range. A function can have (at the most) one output for each input.</p>
<p>yes, y=x
but the problem i spent the most time on was x^2 - y^2 = 72, becuase I forgot you could factor, lost like 6 minutes on that one!</p>
