<p>The answer choices with green keys next to them are not the correct choices all the time on your document, right?
Thank you so much for the link.</p>
<p>For anyone who took the paper version, do you remember (refering to torusdonut’s document) what the correct multiple choice answer was?</p>
<p>I believe they are the correct answers because they aren’t mine but my answers (as well as which ones I got wrong) confirm it. </p>
<p>interesting answer to the helicopter question.
looking back on this there’s a lot of silly mistakes I made haha</p>
<p>God damn I think I got a 13. You guys think that’ll be enough?</p>
<p>Well, for me, there’s one of them that I’m extremely worried about, #4, because going through the logic that I used while taking the test, I should have gotten the right answer. But I don’t remember choosing answer choice E…</p>
<p>I estimate the cutoff to be an 11.5-12.5 this year. so @Andre, i think you definitely passed.</p>
<p>^that’s sorta low; I’m too lazy to figure out what I actually put for some of them, and I think I have a neighborhood of 14, and I feel like I’m not gonna pass :</p>
<p>@jx1729 the answer choices are scrambled so that might be why you cant remember choosing E (because you didn’t) </p>
<p>@gatsby, i’m pretty sure that the cutoffs will be similar to last year’s, as the change resulted in a shift from 300 to 400 semifinalists. i am confident you passed too if you can lie above 13.</p>
<p>Phew, then, thanks for the info about the answer choices.</p>
<p>I concur with greenbat, I’m pretty sure the score will be around a 12 this year. I felt this year’s contest was very straightforward, but with more difficult conceptual physics, which has made for some very interesting discussions. Honestly 13 is generally a borderline score but if you did score 13 points (including deductions) I think this year you have a strong chance of passing </p>
<p>Lol we’re so much more productive when we’re not arguing</p>
<p>Anyway I agree with above about the conceptual part</p>
<p>Am i the only one who thinks the cutoff will be about 15 and not as low as 12?</p>
<p>How about we split the difference and call it 13.5 
It’s guess work at this point in my opinion. I’m wondering if the cutoff used to be higher when they still had the quarter final. The quarter final was used to better down select the semi-finalists. Without the quarter final now to help with the down select, it seems that they’re making the F=ma a little harder to better select the semi-finalists.</p>
<p>I still think it’s going to be around 11.5 honestly</p>
<p>Sure hope you’re right bat. We’ll see in the next couple of days (I hope). </p>
<p>@tbrad, are you comfortable to come out yet?</p>
<p>I’m getting really scared about #4 now lol since some of the other answer choices look pretty much in the right order to me, but I remember talking about the test with this really smart person at my school, and for one problem we both got an answer that wasn’t A or E, and I think that one was #4.
I can’t afford to miss another problem because if I missed #4, I would have gotten 13.</p>
<p>Number 2… which way does the vector point? </p>
<p>To remind you, it asked for the force vector exerted by the sliding block onto the incline</p>
