^It says on the paper I got that calculators will not be permitted in the examination room....

Edwardz

Ah. Really? Hmm...I remembered bringing a calculator when I took. Or maybe my memory is slipping. Oh well.

Even if you don't have a calculator, the easy math section will still be easy (probably just conceptual and less calculations). And the hard part requires no less effort either though.

WHAT SUBJECT MATERIAL WILL BE ON THE SCIENCE PART?

math im not worried about-- is it true though that the chalenge math parti s the most important on the entire exam?

What specific subjects will we have to know for the science? do we have to know any HUMAN BODY stuff?


do we have to know conic sections for the math?

tikibu

this is mostly targeted toward prior shp students:

i have a 94 gpa...not that brillant compared to most of you guys...but i wrote a killer essay...and got a fairly good recommendation...im taking 2 apo classes as a sophmore and am ranked 8th in a class of 188 students...without much physics knowledge what would u say my chances are of being accepted

tikibu

typo:
*2 ap classes
sorry bout that

I am a freshman and am taking the test this weekend. So far I've only taken Earth Science and Math A. Currently, I'm in Bio and Math B. However, I've done pre-calc and calc bc work before. Will I do okay? And what are the questions like? Will I not get in if I am unable to answer the physics/chem questions?

HELP ME!

milesdavis22

Lol uve essentially asked the same question as mine!! Please respond to my question and girlie13's!!!

Girlie13-- wen u say uve done calc bc and precalc work do u mean taken the classes offically or just learned some basic material in each?

matrixrebloated

alright, to answer some of these noob questions

if you are a frosh or soph...u basically have no chance to get in, just because u haven't had alot of science and math courses

essay/recommendation mean jack, the only factor is how you go the exam, they don't care about anything else

in the science section there was everything: Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, a lil bit of Physics...which was basically Earth Science calculations

Easy math section is easy

There is tough math section with is like the second lvl of that math competition AMC or w/e

hope that helps some people out

When I say that I've done that work, I mean I've done the same exact stuff as the course in an enrichment program which I go to every week. I am doing 11th grade math as a freshman in that course and in school 10th grade math since I can't advance myself there because of the regents.

girlie13

Also, why do fresh/soph have no chance to get in because we have the same test, but just better curves, so wouldn't it be easier to get in if u were a fresh/soph?

^Thats what Im thinking.

Edwardz

Actually, there's a substantial amount of freshman/sophomores in the program. Perhaps less than juniors/seniors, but freshman/sophomores still stand a very good chance of getting in.

milesdavis22

What enrichment program do you go to? The opportunities at my high school arent very good, so an enrichment prog for math would be great. I'm a freshman too-- i alraedy know precalc and some of calc bc-- but i have to learn on my own .

Im taking chem now-- WHAT CHEM TOPICS WILL BE ON THE TEST? I dont know any electrochem or thermochem? What tpics will be on the BIO section? if i got a 102 on AMC- should that be OK for the challenge math section?

girlie13

I used to go to Kumon North America and the mathletes team. That's basically it.
