***October 2013 - Mathematics Level 2***

<p>Are there different versions to this test? I’m asking because for the .9539 question there were no negative answer choices.</p>

<p>it was somthing like “let pi/2<A<pi, and sin(x)=.32?, then find cos(x)” so like
-sqrt(1-.32^2)=-.9474, (Make sure its negative because its in the 2nd quadrant), maybe your thinking of a different problem</p>

<p>@jibler YEAH! I was! haha</p>

<p>I feel like I made a BUNCH of stupid mistakes though… ugh</p>

<p>swimmerman, Barron’s is notorious for being much more difficult than actual tests. </p>

<p>It was definitely really easy, but I’ll be upset if I get less than an 800 now cuz it was that easy… was only aiming for above a 750.</p>

<p>Did any of you guys retake this?</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree with you jibler. I REALLY want an 800 now, haha. Are you a senior?</p>

<p>How would schools like Brown, Middlebury, Bowdoin, Carleton, etc. react to a Math II score of 770? Should I consider retaking in December? Won’t count for Brown ED but it might help for RD at the other schools if Brown doesn’t take me in. </p>

<p>But I’m not keen to dedicate a whole lot of time to preparing for it in November. How does the retaking thing work? Will my knowledge remain preserved till December and can I simply revise everything a bit more thoroughly and expect an 800 or will I have to redo everything.</p>

<p>My main areas of interest are Economics, Finance, Management, Philosophy, English, Statistics and Pol. Science BTW.</p>

<p>If so, what was the curve for that test?</p>

<p>770 should be fine. </p>

<p>Yeah, swimmerman, I’m a senior… took precalc 2 years ago though.</p>

<p>jibler: Ahhh, well good luck! Haha, I’m a junior (this year is soo awful btw)! I took precalc last year and I still forgot everything :P</p>

<p>Thanks! This test was too easy for me not to get an 800, haha. But I wish you luck as well! You’ll be fine - most people I know have no idea subject tests exist.</p>

<p>No problem and thanks!! Yeah, haha, I had to explain what they were to half of the people who asked me about it. Where are you planning on applying?</p>

<p>My stats aren’t crazy like most posters here but I’m applying to some solid east coast schools for computer science - university of maryland, northeastern, lehigh, some others. Duke is my reach.</p>

<p>That’s good!! You should try applying to schools like MIT and Georgia Tech!</p>

<p>Haha MIT is out of reach for me. My sister went to GT, and i know somebody who goes there. Didn’t really like the vibe I got though.</p>

<p>Yeah…I heard GT is a pretty competitive and the classes are pretty hard, haha. Atlanta is really nice though</p>

<p>PM me if you want</p>

<p>So Jib are you looking at some of the more popular cs schools like uiuc and cmu? I’d reckon you have a pretty good shot at uiuc and an even stronger one at UW Seattle.</p>

<p>Alright, Jibler! Haha</p>
