*SAT Subject Test Biology E/M June 2016 Discussion Thread*

what were the answers to the immune system questions? there were like 3 if I remember correctly right? Upset over the wording of the ATP one. And I put electrical over chemical :frowning: Has a consensus been reached on whether the E Coli one was subtrate used up or active site? I put active site

Well the score is correct - (0.25*Number Wrong) = Score/60 so -3 means your score/60 needs to be 57

what does that mean? How many can you get wrong for an 800. 12 questions meaning you got a 65//80 or 3 questions meaning you got a 76/80

^ You can get 3 questions wrong.

Yeah if you answer a question and get it wrong you lose 1.25 points and if you don’t answer the question you lose only 1 point

And I believe the answer for the enzyme question is the the substrate was used up

Substrate was used up. The graph had the total product in grams on the y-axis. This means that the slope of the graph would be the rate of production. If the active sites were all used but there was still substrate, then the slope would’ve remained constant. Since the slope became essentially flat, there was no more substrate to be used.

What do you guys think 65/80 will be on this curve?

I’m predicting that will be my raw score too @gkdudtlffj 730-740 maybe?

what scores are you guys aiming for?

750 :(( sighhh

@yellowhello 800. It really depends on the curve and also whether I got the Calvin cycle enzyme question right… (That had two correct answers, I swear.)

But apart from that, I only know of two questions I’ve gotten wrong.

By the way, when people say, “-3 or -4 for an 800,” do they mean 76-77/80 raw for an 800, or 3-4 questions wrong for an 800?

@mastersuperfan they mean missing 3-4 questions

@nytestguy Whew, that’s a relief.

So do people think the curve will be -3 or -4? If it’ll be -4 I’d say there’s a good chance I’m hitting that 800.

it’s -3 or -4 for raw not questions missed

@lunarboy really? I thought that it was -3/4 questions missed

yeah ugh it sucks, so you could really only get 2 or 3 questions wrong @nytestguy

@mastersuperfan yeah it should be raw not wrong that is a little too low to be an 800

i came out 100% that i’ll get an 800 but i missed 5 questions, what’ll be my score?

probably around 790. perhaps 780
