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

<p>The curve is:
43 - 800
42 - 790</p>

<p>According to the previous and identical June 2010 test, on which one person received a 42 raw score and a 790.</p>

<p>****. /10char</p>

<p>This is off-topic, but what does 10char mean? I see it all over the place.</p>

<p>adding 10char bumps a short post to the minimum amount of characters needed to make a post.</p>

<p>Btw, the question about # of products sale money the guy must make. What was the process to find the answer? I dont remember my answer</p>

<p>It was like he gets a certain percentage of his sales every week, plus a regular salary. If he wants to make $500 or something a week, how much must his sales be. You would do (his sales)(percentage) + regular salary = 500.</p>

<ol>
<li>x^6 + 2x^3 + 2</li>
<li>the thing with a<x<y was I and III</li>
</ol>

<p>What were the questions for these two? I don’t remember them</p>

<p>The original question of 37 was something like what is f(g(x)) when f(x)= x^2+ 1 and g(x)=x^3+1.
Plugging in x^3 + 1 for x into f(x) yields: (x^3+1)^2+1= x^6+2x^3+2, leading to answer previously given.</p>

where did you find out that curve is already set?</p>

<p>For #44, I’m pretty sure that’s what I got as well.
I put that x/x-1 will never be an integer. For example, 28/27? 37/36? 982/981? Never integers :smiley:
I’d never heard about a pre-set curve before…I know that’s not how the AP Bio test works, at least.
For the one dealing with x^x as x approaches 0, I put 1. Plug numbers into your calculator, the decimal values of x approach 1.
And finally, for the f(3) - f(1) question, I think I got 6. They’re basically trying to test you on recognizing a recursive sequence with a non-first-term starting point. You get 8-2, or 6. :)</p>

I think it was speculation because collegeboard never claimed such a thing and we don’t have a time machine to test things out :(</p>

<p>Who remembers what the two parametric equations were???</p>

<p>Also, was the parametric one towards the beginning or the end of the test?</p>

<p>i have Y = 2T -5 for the parametric one. I deleted my x one though for some reason.</p>

<p>Btw I heard about the curve system from some other people on CC. I think it was based on the fact that curves dont usually correspond to how CC felt the test was, hard or easy.</p>

<p>For parametrics, I have x=-3T+7 and y=2T-5.</p>

<p>Is everyone sure 0 was an answer choice for that one? Also, was that question at the beginning or end of the test?</p>

<p>Oh, I dunno about that. I know 0 was an option for the f(x)=1/g(x) one. Someone asked about that awhile ago. I think parametrics was… in the middle part of the test.</p>

<p>Anyone remember the last one with the laser? I put E because I thought that the laser still hit the disk even with the amount it was off…</p>

<p>I put E too, but I feel like we’re the only ones who did lol. Everyone else got a solid number.</p>

<p>I didn’t answer #50, but I took a look at the options. Letters A-C had numbers in the same range, D & E were much larger than A-C. I’d bet on the answer being one of A, B, or C b/c most questions structured like that have the right answer in the pool with most similar values. :P</p>

<p>Can some1 plz repeat question 44 with a<x<y and I and III?</p>
