<p>Hey everyone does anyone know the awnser to the last question about the two points, the equilateral triangle, and the plane! i thought the answer was 2 but it wasnt a choice! Also what about the one with the circles and the numbers 1, 5, 10, and 15!!</p>

<p>how do u think u did!? in the practices i was getting 800's but i did bad this time i can tell... 750 maybe?!</p>

<p>reply plz</p>

<p>It was SOOOOOOOOOO much easier than the practice tests. I got 660 and 560 on the practices but I'm relatively sure I was in the high 600's or broke 700 on this. Too bad the curve sucks. I left 5 blank FWIW.</p>

<p>Equilateral triangle and plane I said infinately many but that's probably wrong. For the poker chips 1,5,10,15 I said 7 after thinking about it for 2 or 3 minutes.</p>

<p>i said 7 too</p>

<p>can't remember what I said for poker chips, but the triangle is 6</p>

<p>i said infinitely many</p>

<p>wasn't it isoceles instead of equilateral triangle?</p>

<p>i thought it said equilateral...oops</p>

<p>6, 100% sure, there are 6 possible locations for the right angle.</p>

<p>what were some of the other hard questions?</p>

<p>haha hard questions on Math I...that is funny.</p>

<p>i skipped the one about the inverse function... little time left!</p>

<p>math I is not that easy... I mean, you can get up to like 8 wrong on Math II to get 800...
when I took practice tests, I got about the same score on Math I and Math II, the only reason I chose Math I over II is because I could not finish the Math II test in under 1 hr and 30 min.</p>

<p>lol yeah you're right...just missing one or two questions on Math I kills you. 800 on Math II is 88th percentile. For math I, you have to be in the top third or so of the 99th perecentile (99.6th or so) to pull an 800.</p>

<p>that's insane.</p>

<p>I'm bumping</p>

<p>y
10000000 char</p>

<p>yeah but ziggy think about the group of kids taking math 2 and math 1. The reason Math II an 800 is 88th percentile and math I is a 99th percentile is because only the top math kids in teh country take Math II. The scores are very comparable and I am sure many of the 800 scorers on math II would be able to pull it off on math I if they needed to.</p>

<p>yeah but you have to account for careless mistakes and reading errors, etc... which kills your score...
god, now I'm really scared</p>

<p>yeah, ballz is right.</p>

<p>lol although I know a few students who definitely AREN'T the top math students in the country who are taking math II in June :).</p>

<p>It's scary to think that only the "top math kids in the country" take Math II.</p>

<p>I meant more along the lines of that the top math students in the country tend to not take Math I. (although there are some exceptions). But an average student would definitely do better on Math I then Math II. Plus, colleges always want to see you challenge yourself, Even though an 800 on Math I may look good on paper, they may wonder why you opted not to take the harder test (esp. when there are 21,000 other applicants with identical scores to yours but they took Math II). I honestly dont know where I am trying to take this argument but I defintly should be sleeping right now.</p>
