<p>Wait, why was this thread merged with the thread from 2011? If a mod could step in and clarify the decision or something, it’d be much appreciated.</p>
<p>boby642, wasn’t the question simply asking how many students scored between 70 and 90 on the test? The lower and upper quartiles were at 69.5 and 90.5 (or something like that), and those two sections represent ~50% of the students.</p>
<p>I don’t even get it i’m pretty good at math but this test i just failed… got like 42 raw and i got like 49 on Kaplan and 45 on McGrawhill… canceled and taking the December one, any advice on how to improve?</p>
<p>I skipped 4 and get around 5-7 wrong. Any CCer want to tell me what I can expect?</p>
<p>Please confirm the last question on ‘i’ … -1-2i … Was it option C?</p>
<p>Yes, it was C.</p>
<p>Atypical Asian. Thanks man. My worry was that, the answer was definitely double negative (-something - i) and there were two options like that… I might have marked it wrong in the rush of things.
1 wrong 2 omit so far. 
Ill leave room from one more wrong qn</p>
<p>I did that in chemistry. Lol</p>
<p>Do you guys think there is any chance that this test will be graded on a 43 for 800 curve? Also, what raw score does a 42.5 count as (since I’ve omitted 5 and most likely messed up 2)?</p>
<p>Oh and the 293 Million question was a compound interest one. I actually ended up omitting it because I couldn’t remember that A = P X (1+R/100)^t. Yeah, stupid.</p>
<p>BTW, can any of you explain how you got 4.7 as the answer on the 3:2 side ratio one. I used the sine rule and kept getting the answer as 6.9 as the length which wasn’t even an option. Ended up going with 7.1 for some reason. </p>
<p>Wasted a lot of time on those two. I also messed up the one which had “I and III only” as the answer and omitted the exponential regression one in addition to another 3. Got the rest right I think.</p>
<p>For the guy who took his test at St. Michael’s: I fully empathize. Though strangely it only bothered me during my literature test. Had to ask the proctor to close the door, which I think was open for cross-ventilation purposes. Overall I’d say, USIEF is a much better center.</p>
<p>Man, I got most of these questions y’all are talking about, but watch me end up with a 700…</p>
<p>One more thing guys, was the x square and 2 to the power x question only for positive real values of x or for all values of x?</p>
<p>Ok guys please confirm this…
Was there an option 0.67 (which is wrong) for the probability problem {10,15,20,100} thing?
Sum exceeding 100 prob, i mean. Help.</p>
<p>I believe the percent markup was 69% because the way it was worded meant you had to divide the prices in a counterintuitive order. The other way around gave 45%. Could be wrong but spent a bunch of time on it.</p>
<p>@psych–yeah, I think there was. I got that one wrong as well.</p>
<p>Went with 45% on that one. :|</p>
<p>Isn’t 69 what you get when you divide 100 by 145? Is that what they were asking - what percentage of the marked up price was the original price… or were they asking how many percentage points the original price got marked up by? Can’t remember for the life of me.</p>
<p>Percent mark up question simply said:
Store owner marks up price…what was the percent markup? 45%</p>
<p>Fudge, I think I omitted 3 and got at least 3-8 wrong…</p>
<p>Hopefully I only got around 5 wrong - I’d still get my 750</p>
<p>I distinctly remember the prime number question’s answer being 25…not 15. Please confirm.</p>
<p>The test was soooo easy compared to Barron’s - I recommend anyone who’s taking it again to use Barron’s if you haven’t already.</p>
<p>@Danchu It was 15 b/c 25+2 isn’t a prime number. 13 and 17 are prime but 15 isn’t.</p>
