<p>I'm not sure what happened to the other thread. How did everyone do? What's the usual cutoff for an 800?</p>

2

<p>The other thread contained discussion of specific test questions and was deleted.</p>

3

<p>Amistad, when can we start discussing specific questions? I mean, I know it's when all the time zones are finished, but when exactly is that?</p>

4

<p>PR says 6 blank is 800, while CB Practice test 3 blank is 800.</p>

<p>It's probably around -4 realistically.</p>

5

<p>12 blank and 14 incorrect, how do you think i did?</p>

6

<p>-4 seems a bit strict on this particular test, the difficulty seemed above-average</p>

7

<p>The final western timezone will be completing roughly 7pm Eastern US time.</p>

8

<p>Oh, I meant the average cutoff is probably around -4 (that is the number that seems to be floating around); I didn't mean for this particular test, sorry</p>

9

<p>hopefully the curve for this test will be slightly more lenient</p>

10

<p>How many Bronsted-Lowrey questions were there on the Chem test?</p>

<p>I just realized I mixed up Bronsted-Lowrey with Lewis definition of Acid/Base...</p>

11

<p>i thought it was harder than may. much more random fact things.. :(</p>

<p>hopefully the curve is good!</p>

12

<p>Are the curves predetermined or done so after they get the tests marked?</p>

13

<p>I only remember one Bronsted-Lowrey question.</p>

<p>Overall, i think it was fair. The hardest part for me was the T/F section - i thought some were tricky. Otherwise, I hopefully got 750+</p>

14

<p>Guys what did you get for the filter paper question?</p>

15

<p>so....we can talk about it now?</p>

16

<p>Hoping for a 750 here too. Forgot how many questions I skipped, but I'm pretty confident I broke at least 730.</p>

17

<p>yes I think so. ...</p>

18

<br>


<br>

<p>i put "precipitate" only.</p>

19

<p>ok--i only put separating liquid from precipitate</p>

20

<p>I canceled my score, as I hadn't studied at all. Yay for October...I probably could have gotten a 700 if I tried, but I wouldn't have been happy with that score anyway. I thought a lot of the questions were tricky, but the T/F section actually wasn't as bad as I expected.</p>
