lasern, that actually is not a normal physics scale. Going by the Princeton Review scale, which has tests that are very similar in difficulty to the one one that we all took, 60 and greater is an 800. A 59 is likely a 790.

^ Well, all for the better. The difference between a 770 and a 790 is negligible, but it would be cool if the scale is generous enough to give me an 800. It's interesting you think this test was comparable to princeton review's, because I thought it was quite a bit easier, which it should of been as princeton review admits their tests are above the actual difficulty. Of course, this is all very subjective, anyway. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

@ lasern
there is vast difference between a 770 & a 790. If someone goes for phy.,chem.,maths2 & gets average score of 23100 also , he will suffer drastically. And also 790>770.

Ok the one with the rotating wheel and the block WAS NOT static friction. If it was static friction, the block would stick to the wheel and then the system would almost instantaneously be put out of whack. However, if the wheel was merely grinding on the block, then the force of kinetic friction can be countered by the force of the spring, and this force on the spring would measure the force of kinetic friction

Yah, obviously 790 is better, but in the general scheme of things, unless your intended college major is physics, the difference between a 770 and a 790 in the context of your application means very little to nothing.

Anyone care to venture a guess at the double hoop one? That is, if anybody actually still remembers it.

800 . Got 800s for math 2 and chemistry as well, first time! Hoping it'll be good enough :/

800 with 4 omit and 10 wrong based on only 65 questions discussed on this thread. Guys, this test had one hell of a curve.

Where can I find my percentile? All I saw there were my scores got 800s in Math II & Physics, so happy!

I got an 800 with 10 left blank and god knows how many wrong....wow. I was just hoping for anything over 700.

800!

Which was a complete surprise, because during the test I felt like I was being violated. Hard.

Sigh. 800 with I think 2-3 wrong and 2-3 omitted, but universities won't know my raw score. I think the test needs renorming :P Does anyone know if percentiles/raw scores/score distribution (in order of specificity) will be included in the full online report?

@Shubhankar: I believe the percentiles are included in the full report--if you chose the online report, then you might see them on the 30th.

@mrgetalife123: The SAT Subject tests aren't supposed to be disclosed (it's part of the whole hour-long set of instructions before the test), which is probably why you can't get the test-book where you live.
