****OFFICIAL JUNE 2014 SAT MATH II THREAD****

<p>Well, extrapolating off the few people posting here, the curve will probably be generous-er than usual.</p>

<p>Not at all, the curve will suck for this one. I’ve skipped ~8 for the past two Math II tests I took while guessing on some. I only skipped three and (was) confident on this one. And I didn’t really study since my last taking. </p>

<p>Sure, but you’re taking confidence the wrong way.</p>

<p>I really, really hope the curve doesn’t suck for this one. I know for sure I’ve missed two and omitted two so far.</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat as most of you guys. BUT REALLY how different is a 770/780 from an 800 (other than a slightly bruised ego). colleges will know we’re good at math from this, our calc scores, and SAT math scores</p>

<p>Very different. In past tests, 800 has been 80th percentile… </p>

<p>Yeah, an 800 is quite different from any other score.</p>

<p>An 800 could mean you got 6 wrong or 0 wrong. A 790 means you got 7 wrong.
(Those are example numbers, but the point is clear.)
Plus the whole percentiles thing makes having an 800 on math ii very different from any other 800 (other than, arguably, native languages).</p>

<p>Exactly. So it’s not just a bruised ego. Although, to me, that’s almost worse… I have quite the large ego. :)</p>

<p>What was the answer to the one question about tan with answer choices was -3.67, 3.0 etc and the triangle acres question?</p>

<p>4 acres, and just say “tan” is vague because there wer atlast 2 questions with tan in it…</p>

<p>The question gave 2 sides and the angle between those 2 sides right? And that’s all I remember about the tan question.</p>

<p>I put 0. Honestly, that test was rough. I ended up skipping 10 die to time constraints, but I still think I got a 700+.</p>

<p>was it - or + 2.29 for the cos a = 2/5</p>

<ul>
<li>because sin is negative in quadrant IV</li>
</ul>

<p>yeeeeessssssss thank god</p>

<p>BUT A and B were not in themiddle. the cirlce they made resulted in a slanted shape with which it was like a sector thing</p>

<p>@kpatel123‌ just the way you described the problem is demonstrative of how well you understood it…</p>

<p>im not going to bother to explain it again. read my previous posts. The answer was most definitely 1.</p>

<p>I’m not arguing. That makes logical sense, IMO.</p>

<p>I put zero for the great circle question because a great circle is defined as a circle that has the same diameter as a sphere. In other words, two points on the sphere that are directly opposite of each other can be connected with a great circle. If you remember the problem, A and B were not directly opposite of each other. In fact, a circle connecting those two points would have a diameter less than that of the sphere. I am 99% sure on this. Am I getting something wrong?</p>

<p>Yes you are. But it’s very well explained a couple of pages back.</p>

<p>Well: I have 3 omitted, and 5 wrong for sure. That’s a lot… ■■■■■■■ hell. I was so confident when I finished. Praying for that 750+…</p>
