21

<p>i think it was 3:64 or something</p>

22

<p>The answer to that should be 3:64</p>

23

<p>i thought i did terribly, but u guys r making me feel better lol</p>

24

<p>Aren’t you not supposed to discuss specific questions on the SAT Chemistry Test??? They made us sign on it… anyways i’m not discussing questions… just speculation of my score</p>

<p>1 omitted
i think i missed 2 with one omit… and i am generally accurate with score predictions
estimated score: 81.5
score range: 77.25-84…(± 3 in each direction… based on probable human error/being worried over nothing)
i think the cut off for an 800 will be 78 this time.
Most likely score ~800…
i think the curve will be generous this year… it was challenging time-wise, although not too difficult.</p>

25

<p>we are allowed to talk about it</p>

26

<p>3 omit
dunno but i think i got a lot of them wrong
not feel good about it
feel terrible :S</p>

27

<p>wait, so it takes 78/85 to get an 800?</p>

28

<p>what was the bronsted lowry question?</p>

<p>i also got 3:64, and pOH 10, because the pH was 4…what other questions do you remember?</p>

29

<p>Not sure if it was on this test or physics</p>

<p>but wasn’t one answer the curve with the inverse relationship with T and R</p>

30

<p>I didn’t have to guess on any of the questions. This is my second Chem. I got 790 first time, trying for 800 this time and pretty sure I got it.</p>

<p>From the “going for 800” perspective, this was a pretty fair test. No flame tests. Pretty easy descriptive chemistry. Pretty easy solubility rules. Pretty easy lab questions. The rest is just a matter of studying and knowing how to do it. If you studied the bread and butter and knew your stuff, it was a good test.</p>

31

<p>Are all compounds containing H dissolved in water, bronsted lowry acid/base or something like that.</p>

32

<p>In the interest of not getting my score (possibly) canceled, I’m not responding to any posts in particular.</p>

<p>But…</p>

<p>In general, I’ve noticed that OH- contains a hydrogen, and is very much basic.</p>

33

<p>lol why would you retake a 790</p>

34

<p>Because it looks totally awesome when you have 6 800’s on your CommonApp instead of 5 800’s and a 790.</p>

35

<p>I skipped like 12 questions because I ran out of time. Should I cancel?</p>

36

<p>Don’t cancel. You never know. You can always not report. Christian, don’t make me feel bad. I had one month to virtually completely self-study the test during school with extra-currics 5 aps no sleep and other app crap; I will be grateful for whatever score I get :).</p>

37

<p>Don’t worry. My 4 APs are jokes and Moot Court, AcaDec, Science Olympiad, and Mathletes all aren’t in season yet. Quite simply, I had nothing better to do.</p>

38

<p>New pressure was 4 atm. Start with 1 atm. Halved volume, doubled temperature. Pressure quadruples.</p>

<p>Which of the elements/compounds were the best conductors of electricity towards the end?</p>

39

<p>^What? Why was it not 8?</p>

40

<p>Oh wait, it was 8. sorry. The original pressure was 2 atm, I believe, so the answer would quadruple to 8.</p>

<p>I remember the question wrong but I’m positive I did it right hahaha</p>
