<p>@solipsisme: Dude, relax. You could never be as paranoid as me. I skipped 6! And probably got 4 wrong!</p>
<p>EDIT:
And to those trolls…I did not skip 6! or 720</p>
<p>@APushed it took me a few seconds to get what you meant by 720! (no, not 720!) i’m still in SAT mode and thought you meant a score of 720 haha. Best of luck on the AP lang exam! I still struggle with those 40-minute essays…</p>
<p>@independentstudy thank you! actually i had no idea what kind of lens would work so i thought “hey why not try a mirror” :)</p>
<p>My teacher actually gave us an outline to follow for each of the three types of essays. If you want, I can give you the details.</p>
<p><em>read Barron’s back to back</em>
<em>took all practice tests in Barron’s, -7 avg</em>
<em>took released test from Collegeboard book, -4</em></p>
<p><em>woke up nice and happy and confident on test day</em>
<em>feel bad for those taking the SAT reasoning test at test center</em>
<em>walk in, recognize my proctor as usapho teacher and say hi</em>
<em>fill out the form, still happy</em></p>
<p><em>begin test</em>
<em>first few: ha these try to trick me but I know the answer</em>
<em>next few: dayum some of these are hard… idk this one, skip. at least the curve is nice</em>
<em>censored</em>
<em>leave test</em></p>
<p><em>WTHWTHWTHWTHWTH</em>
<em>walk slowly away from room</em>
<em>die inside</em></p>
<p>true story today. 
skipped 3 missed probs like 10. Too much hard E&M/optics haha</p>
<p>^^^Agreed!</p>
<p>@APushed96 thanks for offering! but I’m thinking I’ll just review the material from my teacher so I don’t get confused at the last minute.</p>
<p>What were the answers to the two elevator problems?
Was one of them 0<x<250 and the other one 0?</p>
<p>@superninja</p>
<p>first one was 250
second one was 0<x<250
third was 0</p>
<p>wasn’t the first one accelerating upward?
What’s usually the curve on this test for an 800?</p>
<p>No, the first one was traveling at a <em>constant velocity</em> upward. I am pretty sure of it.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m pretty sure it was constant velocity as well. Does anyone know about the one with experimental data when it asked why there were discrepancies? I said it was that the watch was only accurate to a tenth of a second but I feel like that was wrong…</p>
<p>i said it was the air resistance.</p>
<p>also what did you guys put for the question about which scientist wasn’t involved in sound/light</p>
<p>I thought air resistance would not be a big deal at such a range. I said accuracy of stopwatch.</p>
<p>The reason for this is as follows.
Let’s say your equation yields sqrt(20.5) = 4.52769. Your stopwatch could read out 4.5.</p>
<p>There is a discrepancy that is always unavoidable. At least that is my logic.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the typical raw score that will get you an 800?</p>
<p>@APUSHED96, how would I weight 0 it the elevator free falls? I thought it would be 0<x<250 still</p>
<p>There was one question, I think it was matching and paired with the sound and damping one. The question asked about something with the sun and earth… I don’t remember details. The answer choices were damping, refraction, polarization, diffraction, and something else. Did y’all put diffraction for that one???</p>
<p>The ball one was air resistance I’m pretty sure, and here’s why:
So the distance was 44, and our experimental results gave us 4.1. But using the theoretical value, we get t=sqrt(2<em>d/g)=sqrt(2</em>44/10)=sqrt(8.8). This is less than 3! So that means our theoretical and experimental values were off by 1 second! This can’t be attributed to the clock only measuring in .1 increments… in that case, we should only be off by .1. It’s gotta be that air resistance is slowing our ball, increasing the time by a second.</p>
<p>The sound/light wave is Newton. The exact phrasing was “is not commonly associated with…” and Newton certainly is not commonly associated with contributing to the field of sound/light waves (though I think he might have)</p>
<p>@superninja
I think the question you’re talking about is “why do our stars appear lower in the sky than their actual position in the solar system.” or something. The answer is refraction… the change in medium causes the waves to bend, altering our perception of where they’re located.</p>
<p>newton did plenty of stuffs with light</p>
<p>btw did copernicus do anything with light?</p>
