<p>Oh man I wish there were somebody to discuss my chem like that. I did not do ANYTHING to prep for chem, so I feel mighty unsecure now.</p>
<p>yeah i kno how u feel
i did chem last year and i thot i BOMBED it
i got 750
-_-
chem is HARD!</p>
<p>I am doing intermediate organic chem in college and in into organic chem and we are doing MNR spectroscopy in lab and here I am - taking some gen chem SAT and they are asking me which element burns yellow-orange. How pathetic. So I just refused to study for this test at all.</p>
<p>^was it like copper??
wait, maybe that's blue. sodium?
hahaha a bit off topic
anyway, in my opinion this 2c test was alot harder than the october one but a bit easier than the december one</p>
<p>Yep, there goes my 800 hopes!!! 4 omit and 3 wrong at best....ooy.</p>
<p>Sorry for hijacking the post.</p>
<p>For the ferris wheel question:
you can put the equation into ur calculator
make the window to shoy y=0 to 30 and x=0 to 20
it looks like it is around 11 seconds from the graph, so i wrote 10.32</p>
<p>Dictator: I'm in the same boat :(. 4 omit and 3 confirmed wrong, with more likely to come. Upsets me because they were such ****ty errors. Hope we end up in club 790!</p>
<p>My deadline was january 2006 because I am a transfer, but can't you guys just retake if you don't like your scores? If I could I'd just take them all 3-4 times. There's no way you won't get 3x800.</p>
<p>LOL, I don't think colleges would like students retaking SAT II's that much martinix.:)</p>
<p>Hehe...
I love it how people think they know that stuff and all they do is apply common sense. Let me tell you how it works. There is a software that selects your highest scores and only one admission person sees all your scores. One out of the whole committee. And there is a reason why the software doesn't track "how many times the test was taken" - it simply isn't an indicator. Conspicuous, compulsive, and repetitive test taking might be noted if it is completely blatant, otherwise - no.
So, by the time your file makes it to the voting table in the end that is the last thing that they think of. And seriously what's better? A low score or multipe SATs? I know prople that took them up to 6 times. 4 is completely normal.</p>
<p>on SAT I 780 and 800 is regarded as the same score. However, the bigger difference in percentiles in SAT II call for more discrimination and SAT II Math 780 is a little bad if you want to do MIT, Caltech, or simply Math major at top 15.</p>
<p>Yeah, but if you want to do an English major at the top 15, 780 should be fine. (:( I hope!)</p>
<p>Of course.</p>
<p>Yeah. 780 -> 800, i probably won't retake.
780 or less (since its like, 18th percentile) i'll probably retake in December or so. <em>shrugs</em> oh well. </p>
<p>Its done everyone - CONGRATS!</p>
<p>Now i can worry about the AMC this Tuesday!</p>
<p>Is 780/or less, really 18th percentile..???</p>
<p>God no. It's like 80 something percentile.</p>
<p>Even a 700 is 60th percentile.</p>
<p>Max Question: Max(x,y) = x if x is greater or equal to y, y if y is greater then x. Asked to find the least answer.</p>
<p>(2,3).... correct? I liked how they used the word max... prolly threw a couple of people off because they were looking for the max answer. Haha. </p>
<p>I got 1 for f(100).</p>
<p>Crap... it said "least"answer?... Oh well. I should've read more carefully... One wrong answer (and maybe a few others) won't hurt.</p>
<p>But I think I also got 1 for f(100).</p>
