SAT 2 Math Level II Discussion May 2 2009

<p>yes the circle and the chords was a single law of sines problems giving you 7.99</p>

<p>ferniesoccer1: I don’t recollect the question, but 1.57 sounds like an answer I had.</p>

<p>yeah its hard to explain the problem. You had two triangles. One was very skinny and had an extremely small angle. An angle less than 20 coul have been 5 degrees or 15. then it gave you the length of the horizontal leg of one of the triangle and asked you for the length of the right leg. Still a vague description sorry. was one of the middle 50 percent problems if that helps</p>

<p>Anyone recall the triangle questions that had an answer of 1.57 or 1.75</p>

<p>ohhh ferniesoccier i remember what you’re talking about. the reallllyy slim angle ended up being 7 degrees. i can’t remember what i got though :[</p>

<p>anyone put 0 and 1 for the f(x)nx question. Have slight hopes its 0 and 1 but i think the answer is 1 and -1</p>

<p>yea it had a tiny angle</p>

<p>how important is the difference of a 790 from 800 to caltech</p>

<p>The nx question was 1 or -1</p>

<p>i got 1 and -1</p>

<p>because 1 x (1)n = n
and -1 x (-1)n = n</p>

<p>ok well thats only 2 skipped and one wrong hopeing for an 800</p>

<p>I think 790 is still okay for Caltech, but their statistics seem to be pretty uptight about the math scores.</p>

<p>ok another what score would this be
im pretty disappointed in myself and probs wont use it (u can send one test in, but not the other, right?)</p>

<p>11 omit, 2 wrong
and 11 omit 7 wrong</p>

<p>so i can get some rangee
thanks :)</p>

<p>kflaksdjfaskjgajd I died on this test hahhah. First one at 8 in the morning, bleh. Hopefully I’ll make the curve for you lovelies a bit better though :)</p>

<p>I thought this test wasn’t hard, just long. I sucked at time management and ended up skipping 2-3. But I’m generally quite good at math. Assuming I don’t miss many, is it possible for me to get an 800? I know in Barron’s the curve is like 5-6 questions, but what is it for the real thing?</p>

<p>yup its 1.57. I remember that. And for the 7.99 one, if I recall correctly, the answer had to have been eight right?</p>

<p>Cuz i dotnt hink 7.99 was a choice and I remember getting that, but eight was a choice so I just put that …</p>

<p>Does that sound about right?</p>

<p>UGHHH RAN OUT OF TIME AND HAD TO RUSH. i’m in bc calc and i thought it was hard… i forgot everyyythinngnggngngngggg :(</p>

<p>p.s. i got 700 and 750 on barron’s tests but i left 5 blank on this one and guessed on like 4. ahhh it got me in a bad mood</p>

<p>If you find your raw score, which is number right - (1/4)#wrong
Then your score is usually 800- 10(44-S), where S<=44
If S>=44, you should get an 800…This is how BARRON’S does it, so it’s just a sort of normal curve that you might expect but not definite.
Raw Score: Out of 800:
44 800
43 790
42 780
41 770
40 760
39 750

29 650

19 550</p>

<p>So it’s a pretty lenient curve as far as getting over 700.</p>

<p>If I omitted 4 and probably got 3 wrong, my raw score is a 42.25. Is that actually a 790 most of the time?</p>

<p>U see ngstar, i think i have a certain penchant for math too. But the problem is i have a case OCD when im taking any sort of test!!! I’m always driven to check even the easiest problems 4 or 5 times. I think thats why i omitted 10 problems! I was shocked when the proctor called out “5 MINUTES!” </p>

<p>I will definitely improve on this before the June test : )</p>
