November 2008 SAT Subject Test: Math Level 2

<p>^._. Thanks Arach I realize that now ;'(
By the way, why did you take it again?</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the Oct curve was? I really want to know...</p>

<p>I took it again because of a very funny story:</p>

<p>for oct, my parents wanted me to take subj tests, but I didn't feel I was ready. So I just made a new CB account, took them under that, and then scored well. I can't call, obviously, to have them merge the accounts or something because it'd look like I was gaming the system, so my only choice was to take it again under my "real" account. </p>

<p>Sucks, doesn't it?</p>

<p>wow that sucks!
i would have called though lol</p>

<p>Haha, yeah. Sad thing is, I know my last 800 was "luck" because I guessed on a LOT. At least this time, if I get an 800, I'll know it's 'cause I actually knew what I was doing. No harm done, really.</p>

<p>Lol, I wonder if you could make a new account and retake SAT I and II and apply to college without getting caught...then again CB will probably catch you?</p>

<p>Haha, I mean, it's not fair because class of '10 gets to choose scores. So I felt somewhat justified in making a new account :)</p>

<p>Wow, you got an 800 on the last one, but it was useless because of the new account? Man that really SUCKS! I would go insane.</p>

<p>quicksand, what a nice point!</p>

<p>Haha, that would be so awesome, but with the new class of '10 SAT policy, it won't even matter anymore, lol.</p>

<p>I don't really mind...I actually enjoy doing these tests. Math in school is so boring and routine, so I enjoy the spice of an SAT-flavored problem :)</p>

<p>^Haha, true math lover right there. Actually, I enjoy mental math more.</p>

<p>Ah, mental math? My Chinese friend's great at it, but I'm merely average. My skills have been improving though; I only used a calculator once during the December '07 math section and got a 780 :)</p>

<p>^O.o nice! Yeah, it's called Number Sense in Texas. 10 minute test with 80 problems ranging from arithmetic to calculus. There's always tricks like 250 x 888 is 222000. When you multiply by 25 divide the number by 4 and add two zeros.</p>

<p>On the problem where It said h(x)=sinx. g(x)=cosx
g(f(x))=h(x). What is f(x)? wouldnt the answer be tanx?</p>

<p>Here is why: cosx/1 * sinx/cosx (tanx)= sinxcosx/cosx. The two cosx's cancel out and you are left with sinx(1)/(1) --> sinx</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>i've heard anhtimmy saying about the number sense thing too. sounds really interesting! =D
250 x 4 x 222 = tadah!</p>

<p>Umm I forgot, but I remember using my Ti-89 test function and plugged in all the answers until I found one that said "true" for the function.</p>

<p>was that #47 or so?
i just randomly picked an equation,and plug into my calculator, got it on 2nd try,i think it was D,i dont remember the choices</p>

<p>quicksand!
what part of texas do you live!?!?!
i live in san antonio</p>

<p>Any thoughts?"</p>

<p>Doesn't work that way. If it were cos x * sin x/cos x then yes, it would cancel out, but the question was cos(g(x)).</p>
