The Indian Thread #21

<p>North: For Physics, I had say that you pay attention to the theoritical problems in Electricity, that was where I got stumped, but I got them in the end. :wink:
For Maths, I have nothing to say. You should get through it without much problems, just pay attention to the time alloted. Use the calculator wisely and you should be fine. :stuck_out_tongue:
Hope you feel well, the waiting time outside the Exam. centres tend to be quite long. ;)</p>

<p>I have Barronā€™s for both :slight_smile:
People say that Barronā€™s is tougher compared to the actual test, but then it keeps you prepared for anything so :)</p>

<p>@mrinal, I feel glad that we just did electricity in grand detail at school, so much so that I just had to give it a cursory glance of remembrance :smiley:
Im tending to worry more about maths, coz I havenā€™t gotten as much practice in as I wanted.</p>

<p>do you know how to do exponential regression on the graphing calc? :)</p>

<p>Good luck everyone! Hopefully, after tomorrow, youā€™ll have one less thing to worry about.</p>

<p>Hey guys, didnā€™t see this page before hand.</p>

<p>Iā€™m Anvesh (or anvesh95), a class of 2017er. :slight_smile:
Iā€™m looking forward to major in physics. </p>

<p>Nice to meet you all!</p>

<p>Crystal, barrons is the best stuff for
SAT2 prep.</p>

<p>thanks tizil :)</p>

<p>@Anvesh <em>hi 5</em> physics major too.</p>

<p>@north and rew thanks for replying to question! :)</p>

<p>Writing USH tomorrow.</p>

<p>Good luck all for tomorrow.</p>

<p>Tizil, once you get settled in UCB, tell me about EVERYTHING. (itā€™ll also make me strive harder for a reputed college)</p>

<p>Also, guys, how much impact does "undecided major " have on the application? As an international from
India? I heard i gave a negative impression in the people.</p>

<p>So one quick question how many of you think that graphic cal is helpful during the MATH 2 SATā€¦ and how many of you have/will be using the grap cal. in the exam?</p>

<p>Duplicate Post. :p</p>

<p>^What is it Pratyush??
@north: I donā€™t have a graph calculator. What is the question??</p>

<p>@rew it usually gives a negative impression as far as i have heard for the international students but you know most of the americans are usually undecided about there majour even after getting admin in the collegesā€¦ So you cant say ā€¦ I would say it depends person to person and uni to uniā€¦</p>

<p>@ crystal31, I borrowed one from a friend of mine, and it does help in functions.
However if you are used tp cbse/isc you wont even feel the difference of not using a graphing calc. An 800 is possible without it.</p>

<p>@ mrinal pg 167 barrons, eg 7.
If you donā€™t have the book, basically the population of a city for the past 5 years is shown, and if the years - 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990 are given, u have to find the population in 1965.
Theyā€™ve explained some scatterplot method.</p>

<p>Aaah.</p>

<p>^That was the same question in my Maths II Subject test. :eek: The data must be different though.</p>

<p>And, just post the exact question here.</p>

<p>Also mrinal, you had posted before a link on anveshā€™s chance thread of a list of colleges that are need blind for us citizens.</p>

<p>I have a Green card, that makes me a permanent resident of the united states. So in turn, I know that Stanford specifically considers me as a domestic applicant, coz it says so on their website, but does it apply to the other colleges as well?</p>

<p>If so, * huge relief off shoulder*</p>

<p>@xNorth, i am studying from the cbse board :slight_smile: thanks for the reply :))</p>

<p>aaah tiring work typing from phone.</p>

<p>The decennial population of Centre City for the past 5 decades is shown in the table below
use exponential regression to estimate the 1965 population.</p>

<p>Year population
1950. 48000
1960. 72000
1970. 95000
1980. 123000
1990. 165000</p>
