<p>I don’t remember a question like that…maybe I’ve just forgotten it though.
However I’m quite unsure of whether I have an 800 now, as I think I have 11 wrong (quite possibly more) unless my answer of 8/7 is correct. I don’t remember the question so I’m just assuming it’s wrong. I’m thinking of canceling my score as I didn’t study since I tried the sample problems on the Colleboard site and they were really easy (I also got unlucky on guessing)…unless the curve actually turns out to be lenient? I’ve heard very different answers about what the min 800 score is</p>
<p>Why would you cancel your score, many people seem to think that this test was harder than normal, so chances are the curve will reflect that. 11 wrong could very well be an 800, even if its not, 790, 780 maybe, 20 points don’t matter that much.</p>
<p>kmb, are you honestly telling me you’re cancelling any non-800?
That’s like, “oh only got waitlisted 2 Hahvahd. Must commit seppuku nao”</p>
<p>haha lol well i really hope that the curve is more generous as the test was harder</p>
<p>I’m taking the test in June and seeing all of this I’m kinda freaking out…any suggestions??</p>
<p>anyone have a guess at how generous our curve might be?</p>
<p>Took AP physics today haha</p>
<p>I have the Princeton review for Physics and the College Board Subject Test book. Would that provide me with all the information I need to get an 800 on the test?
Thanks</p>
<p>@DarkSouls no, if you have no prior knowledge of the concepts-- review books are a super-condensed version of the material that doesn’t really explain anything conceptually or in depth, so you’ll end up very confused. if you are just using it for review, then yes, I think that should be enough. although it seems like you might be on the low side for number of practice tests, and having a few more on hand can never hurt!</p>
<p>What are your scores and expected raw score? I dont think the curve is lenient despite of the paper being tough :(</p>
<p>Agreed ^</p>
<p>I ended up getting 740 which isn’t terrible but still I thought the curve was going to help me…</p>
<p>800 about -12 raw score…</p>
<p>My score is not yet available. Anybody knows why?</p>
<p>I got a 710 and I am confused but still EXTREMELY HAPPY. I thought I was going to fail this test. Our school’s science department sucks. I took the only Physics course and we did not cover a thing on E&M and only covered like 20% of Mechanics. I was wondering if my physics score would be decent enough to send to Ivies, MIT and Stanford. I am not majoring in Physics or anything. I am majoring in Math/Econ (800 Math Level 2 ). I only took Physics because of its generous curve and the fact that it had some connections to Math.</p>
<p>@wlsnehf - Are you sure you got -12 in Physics? I also though about the same but my scores are not even close to 750 So disappointed :(</p>
<p>PS. I checked with the 68 questions posted in Physics Thread , still too what you think is the curve</p>
<p>800, I skipped 4, something like 6 wrong.</p>
<p>@mathsoul
I got less than 12 wrong, but my raw score was something like -12 because there’s guess penalty.</p>
<p>800 - skipped 2, got 3-6 wrong (3 that I know of but probably some more that I don’t remember)</p>
<p>@solipsisme</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I live in Canada so I will be done my grade 12 physics course this year which covered all the mechanics except for torque and angular momentum & all the e&m and rest of stuff except for magnetic induction so I did learn all the concepts and understand them. What book would you recommend for a practice test though? I only have about a week to go before writing the exam and I am done all the topics in the book which honestly seem pretty simple.</p>
