<p>Discuss how hard you found the test here. I ran out of time and left 4 questions :( 49,50, 42 and the sphere/cube one. I found it MUCH harder than the diagnostics I did. I hit 800 sparknotes all tests, and the two official practice tests and like 680 barrons tests. This one I'm hoping for 750 atleast... is that good enough? Anyways gl everyone.</p>
<p>There’s still an embargo on specific question discussion, so be careful.</p>
<p>Sorry yea I just realised, edited my post and modified my question</p>
<p>Ugh, skipped some and realized I read the problem wrong afterwards :/. Confirmed I missed at least one, I think I skipped 4. Hope we both get ~750, it’s good enough imo</p>
<p>it sayes embargo lifted! sooo…i failed</p>
<p>i skipped 6 O.o</p>
<p>I completely agree with you OP. The test was SO much harder than any diagnostic I’ve taken, which is not a good sign.</p>
<p>If any of you think you did badly… I’m pretty sure I did worse. I left like 10 blank, even though I consistently got over 700’s on diagnostics.</p>
<p>On Spark Notes I got 730, 730, 750, 790</p>
<p>On the test today I left 3 blank and I probably messed up on a few as well (none of them were guesses though). I still think I’m getting an 800, I studied really hard for this…</p>
<p>750 + is acceptable though :)</p>
<p>Like you guys are saying, the test seemed pretty tough. Has there ever been a -8 curve before?</p>
<p>so lets talk specific questions!
what was the one where it said f(x) and g(x) each have 2 distinct roots. if h(x) = f(x) times g(x), how many roots does h(x) have?
the answers choice were like a. 2 only b. 4 only c. 2,3,4
and the cube sphere one, its s times the square root of 3 divided by 2</p>
<p>I left 6 blank and I’m sure I got a few wrong too. I’m just hoping for 700+.</p>
<p>Oh. Yay. I misread another question. Was the cube/sphere thing asking for radius :/?</p>
<p>and the question that said if tan x = a then what is sec squared x in terms of a
i got a squared + 1. is that right?</p>
<h1>to post #11 - Yes.</h1>
<p>ya the question was asking for radius of the sphere. since the long diagonal of the cube equals the diameter, the long diameter is s times the square root of 3, then you divide that by 2 to get the radius</p>
<p>Yep, gotta love the TI89’s CAS system :D</p>

<p>I actually left that one blank. I thought about in on the ride home though and I’m pretty sure it cant be 3, because f(x) and g(x) must have an even degree so h(x) would too. And the least that h(x)'s degree can be is 4 because f(x) and g(x) must have a degree of at least two. So I think 4 must be the answer. I could be wrong though.</p>
<p>And I also said root(3)/2 for the sphere one.</p>
<p>And I also got a^2 + 1</p>
<p>i was havin trouble w/ the roots. cuz some mite be imaginary…</p>
<p>I think I might’ve missed out on an easy point on the lady-with-the-clothing-store question. I read it three times and could not figure out what it was saying.</p>
<p>What was the lady in clothing store one? 30% profit?</p>
<p>i know jack! it confused me at first too, but im pretty sure its 30% profit. obviously since she sold them for more than she paid, it had to be a profit. and the only answers with profits were 30% and 60%. say she bought 40 jeans for 10 $ each. therefore, she spent 400 bucks. then, she sold half the jeans (20) for 16 bucks each (because she sold them for 60% more than she paid), 10 jeans for 12 bucks (25% off) and 10 jeans for 8(50% off). so she made 520 bucks. so she got a 30% profit</p>
