SAT 2 Math Level II Discussion May 2 2009

<p>it is, just barrons has a lot more of them, cb has 10 while barrons has 40, and some of the barrons ones are on topics tangent to cb test, but difficulty is about on par if not a tad harder</p>

<p>this was harder than i expected…looking @ 4 omits and 8 wrong wut should i expect?</p>

<p>HKB3: around 700 maybe</p>

<p>If you can do Barron’s, you will be very prepared for the actual test.</p>

<p>Aren’t the answers to SAT Subject tests available officially or non?</p>

<p>they are, but i’m not sure when they come out. online scores will come out on may 21st, a wednesday i believe, and the paper scores are officially mailed out come june</p>

<p>I did so bad on this thing. Its all on the Pre-calc stuff that you never see again in Calculus. I will probably retake and study a little bit just so that i can actually review the stuff instead of blanking on the last 20 questions.</p>

<p>There was a question about dividing a group of 10 into a group of 7 and a group of 3. The answer is just 10C7 = 120 right?</p>

<p>Uh…95% sure that dividing the group of 10 wasn’t on this exam. Its a question from a practice exam in one of the BB…</p>

<p>I’ve been reading through this and the polar coordinate (pi/4, 1) is the same as (5pi/4, -1) not (-pi/4, -1)</p>

<p>Explanation:</p>

<p>By asking a same coordinate, you’re flipping the vector 180 degrees across the origin when you provide “-1”. pi/4 is 45 degrees, and 5pi/4 is 225. So mark 225 on the unit circle, flip it across the origin with “-1” and you get 1, coming out at 45 degrees, which is the same as pi/4, 1</p>

<p>Oh yea, and for the last problem, the answer is when x=2.5</p>

<p>The graph reaches 20 for the first time and goes to its max at x=1.5, and falls back down. When it falls down at 20ft, its 2.5 sec.</p>

<p>Btw, does anyone remember the parrallegram question? any help would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>^ nono I’m 100% sure the last question is 1 second. As you said, it reaches its maximum at x = 1.5s. The question asks how long AFTER it reaches the maximum, which means x = 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 second.</p>

<p>

Great method! Works even on more difficult questions.</p>

<p>wait, it asks for HOW LONG AFTER???</p>

<p>i thought it asked for when??? </p>

<p>crap!</p>

<p>yeah it was how long after~ A LOT of people missed that part, so it’s okay, you’re definitely not the only one LOL</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh lol, I did a practice exam right before the real test, so I confused the two.</p>

<p>Haha about the 11/29 question. I had like 2 mins left, last question left and I still couldn’t solve that for my life. I just said screw it, subbed in x = 100 and y = 55 and 11/29 came out as my answer. Then the proctor said pencils down the second I filled in my answer. Was cutting it a tad close :)</p>

<p>^Wow, that sure was help from the dark, darks0ulz! :smiley:
Any x and y such that 11x=20y would give you the answer.
I used x=20 and y=11 (duh).</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer choices for the absolute value question where you were trying to find the maximum for k? I’ve heard a lot of people say the answer was 1/3, but I can’t remember if thats what I put.</p>

<p>There was also like… -1/3, 3, -3 I think.</p>

<p>yeah it’s 1/3, u can just graph it to find the roots (zeroes)</p>
