<p>Thank you, Feminist.</p>

222

<p>Were there any other questions that people werent too sure about? I cant remember if there were any other ones I had trouble with…</p>

223

<p>I omitted 6/7, and going by this thread, I don’t think I got any wrong. How much should I expect?</p>

224

<p>^Oh, I’m sorry gcf101! I didn’t know you couldn’t post the equation.</p>

225

<p>dang, got the velocity one wrong, i think. im NOT aiming for an 800, i didnt start studying far enough in advance. i left a lot blank, like more than anyone else has mentioned… but as long as i get above a 650, ill feel okay. also took biology and killed it, so im hoping that will counter it.
i reworked the SA of a sphere = 54x^2 problem a million times and i think i ended up guessing “9x^3”… it should have been one of the easiest problems though ugh.</p>

226

<p>@feminist - old tests are still in circulation, so the test’s difficulty should not vary much.</p>

227

<p>@IdleDevil - it’s better to err on the safe side. See <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/575313-defy-college-boards-rules-your-own-risk.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/575313-defy-college-boards-rules-your-own-risk.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

228

<p>@gcf101 do you know if there are multiple versions of the test?</p>

229

<p>Right. Thanks for the warning. Will be careful next time! :)</p>

230

<p>@artobsessed - 27x^3.</p>

231

<p>uh… the answer to the polar one wasnt 1,13pi/4. it was like, -1, -7pi/4 or something. 13pi/4 is equivalent to 1pi/4, so that option was correct.</p>

232

<p>@feminist - it seems one version per date for everybody.</p>

233

<p>also what was the altitude pyramid question? lol, i didn’t know what altitude was so i just found the slant height of the triangle… that was probably not the way to go…</p>

234

<p>13pi/4 isn’t equal to 1pi/4, its equal to 5pi/4…</p>

235

<p>oh yes, the trig identity question answer was sec^2 x</p>

236

<p>darn, you’re right. please let the curve be generous.</p>

237

<p>but wasn’t -1, -7pi/4 another option, though…? idk, i may be misremembering.</p>

238

<p>The other option was 1, -7pi/4, which is equal to 1pi/4</p>

239

<p>if you guys remember the question then reply to me…i’m 99% sure i got 50/50</p>

240

<p>does anyone else remember a problem that was like if b > a then f(b) > f(a) for which of the following? and the answers were like f(x) = |x|, x^2, x^3? for some reason i kept getting multiple answers working but I couldn’t figure out what I had misread…</p>
