*The Official June 2012 Sat II Math Level 2 Thread*

<p>@galindathegod, first you solve for t in the x equation, then substitute that into the t values into the y equation, after solving it out, you get a linear equation with slope -1/3.</p>

<p>What will the curve most likely be like? How many wrong and still 800?</p>

<p>The curve has been 43/50 = 800 and 44/50 = 800, but I think this test turned out to be slightly easier than previous ones so the curve might be a bit less generous</p>

<p>And is anyone else ecstatic that they didn’t ask a single matrix question?</p>

<p>I was extremely distressed that they didn’t ask a single matrix question, matrices are easy. I really did badly on this however, probably a 780. And I was scoring 800’s on the barrons. I guess I had first time jitters</p>

<ol>
<li>(a^3)^2=123.1: 2.2
what question was that?</li>
</ol>

<p>urg… I have exactly 43 raw so far… Hope I didn’t get any more wrong. Seems like the rest of the questions not discussed were easy ones, hopefully no dumb mistakes.</p>

<p>The difference b/w 800 and 790 on this test is huge.</p>

<p>There was another roman numeral question that said if a <0 and 0<x<y which are true and i think it was II and III. i dont remember the exact roman numerals though.</p>

<p>By the way please someone remind me the question of number 14 because it feels like I have never seen it before!
Does it have a diagram or something?</p>

<p>Was the answer for the circle question E?</p>

<p>What resources did you guys use that had percent error type-problems on them? I went through Barron’s and it didn’t include any. Also, can someone explain #17?</p>

<p>What’s a<x<y question?</p>

<p>Oh yeah and add to the list the question about 75 and margin of 0.001</p>

<p>Number 14 was the one that said that f(0) = 0 and asked what had to be true for f(x) = f(x-2) + 3. What was question 46 about?</p>

<p>How about the question that asked soemthing along the lines of “If this salesperson makes $250 and x% of the rest of what she sells, how much does she have to sell to make $500?”</p>

<p>Also, can anyone explain the ratio/extending the line thing? I think I put (6,9) but I’m not sure :/</p>

<p>What was question 17, I can’t remember!</p>

<p>SAT200, yeah I think it was E.</p>

<p>pranav96 and meatkabob, they had a line segment AB, and it said the ratio of that was 1:2 for AB to BC if C were another point on the line segment. So you would find the distance b/n A and B, multiply by 2, and check to see which of the answers had that distance b/n the answer and point B.</p>

<p>Aquawater: Thanks! I think I went too fast on that one and just looked for a point on the graph instead of the point that was exactly double the distance. Darn.</p>

<p>That makes my count 4 omit with a whopping 5 wrong (so many stupid errors blargh). Considering 43 was the cutoff for the same test in June 2010, this would be a score of 40 or a 770. Providing that I didn’t get any others wrong. So 750-770 is my approximate score range at this point.
I’m a junior–do you think I should cancel and retake in October as a Senior? I’m pretty certain with the extra studying over the summer I could do, at the very least, the same and most likely better :/</p>
