The orbiting planets question was D I think… Something like jupiter is 5x further than mars?
It’s that one you have to find the vertex?
The way I did it was take the 1.5th root of both the orbit times, and then find the ratio of those two numbers
@mat324 I was getting high 700 to 800 in barrons but I think I got a 790 or 780
Lol I got consistent 740-750 on Barron’s and I still thought this test destroyed me.

@goldennuggets I did that too and got 3 something, lowest value. So did that one other guy.
@Pingpong2 the different one was i think e (not positive on the letter) because it would have the opposite sign of all the others
@goodlife12 Think we came to a concensus on circle and point.
What was thee open for the factory question
n thousand to reduce the cost?
@Frigidcold Can you please explain why concentric spheres wouldn’t result in a sphere intersection?
@guy6127 10, if I remember correctly.
@Frigidcold I also got 10
@Yakisoba it said sphere surfaces (so they’re hollow) so even since they have different diameters, there’s no way their surfaces would overlap and form a sphere
lol just googled the actual distances for the planets, that formula was surprisingly accurate
That test was cake compared to Barron’s. Feeling -5 tops
One of the question ask about the minimal cost of the pencil, given a quadratic equation. I used vertex method tho find it.
LIKE if you think the answer is 10.
@goodlife12 It wouldn’t be too much to ask, but unfortunately I’m in the same position as you. I put that answer because it seemed correct when I thought about it, but I don’t know why exactly.
Maybe @Kat2016 can help.
if you put pencil one in vertex form you get 2(x-10)^2 + … so it’s 10
I’m actually surprised that I got the probability questions (92 and 13/25) correct. Usually on practice tests I miss every single one.
