<p>I’m definitely not positive, so who knows? Maybe it will be.</p>
<p>For the sin x and tan x problem can anyone recall what the numbers were for the triangle?</p>
<p>does anyone recall what the exact question was for the sphere, circle, point one?</p>
<p>Can someone explain what the answer was to the one about which would not change if another observation was added to the previous 99 observations to make it 100? i saw that people say it’s range but what if the observation added was higher or lower than any of the previous observations? i thought it was standard deviation</p>
<p>Hey guys, I didn’t do so well on this test because I decided to take it on Thursday and couldn’t study at all. To all high scorers out there (780+) how did you prepare? Did you use prep books (if so, which) or go over class notes, or use a combination? I have one more shot at this in October and I really really want a 780+ (preferably an 800!!). Thanks!</p>

The problem said, “which would not decrease”. You can’t decrease the range. If the value added was higher or lower than the others, the range would increase. If the value was in between, the range would stay the same.</p>
<p>@diddly123. I’m pretty sure I got 780+, but it depends on the curve becasue I think I missed 6. Anyway, I used Barron’s to prepare, but all I did was take practice tests, so I don’t know how useful their tips are.</p>
<p>@johnstucky, thanks! so many of my mistakes on this test were careless… do you think it would be okay taking it october though? that’s really far away and it’s so close to EA deadlines</p>
<p>@diddly123 You should be fine to take it in October, and your score should be received by the EA colleges in time. It’s probably a good idea to over-prepare through Barron’s or another prep book to guarantee a high score. If you put in the time and effort, you should be able to do well.</p>
<p>@roylin007 why’d you edit an older version of the compilation? There’s a newer list a few pages back </p>
<p>@diddly123 like johnstucky said if you do plan on taking it on october definitely use Barron’s since you have the time. I went through the whole Barron’s book and did all the practice problems, then took 2 practice tests. The practice tests are a lot harder than the actual but they’re good because they reflect the format of the actual test and over prepare you so the actual test is a walk in the park. I’m aiming for an 800, I omitted two and got two wrong so far</p>
<p>Yeah, Barron’s is definitely a LOT harder than the actual test.</p>
<p>I would also suggest using RUSH 15 practice tests and reviewing an old precalc textbook.</p>
<p>I would not recommend RUSH books - way far from the real test.
Barron’s is overkill. If you have tons of time and don’t worry about hurting your self-esteem - then use it.
I swear by two SparkNotes books (the second one - 5 More Practice Tests).
For questions on statistics read a few chapters in any AP Stat book.</p>
<p>Had a discussions with two kids both much smarter then me one strongly saying the polynomial answer was zero another one said it was one. Have we reached a consensus?</p>
<p>@jeffisaboss No</p>
<p>Did it mention anything about the variables being different numbers? I forgot. There is a reason it was x^5, so I believe it is 1.</p>
<p>I agree with jchen97.</p>
<p>If the intention was for you to see that A could be 0, then there was no reason for the exponents to go all of the way up to 5, so I really think they wanted you to go “Oh, odd-degree polynomial? 1.”</p>
<p>@jchen97 and @RAF1940, I also agree that the ETS wanted the correct answer to be 1, but there might still be an issue of ambiguity.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they’ve thrown out problems before? Because I could see the polynomial one being too ambiguous and them just not counting it at all.</p>
