<p>I am currently in the SHP. When I took the exam last year calculators were not allowed.</p>
<p>@Hawkace - The transcript is due on the 20th. That’s in 4 days.</p>
<p>@Hawkace Hey I remember you from the NJ GSET forum! Also a rising senior, also applying.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Hey @BlackDog1695, Good to see that you are applying as well. Who’s taking it on April 5th?</p>
<p>In room 301, Pupin Hall on April 26. What about everybody else?</p>
<p>I’m taking it the 5th, Room 417 International Affairs</p>
<p>April 26, Room 329, Pupin Hall!</p>
<p>What do they mean when they say that students can take the test even if their recommendations and transcripts aren’t submitted?</p>
<p>@BlackDog1605</p>
<p>The science sections are widely varied. The earth science is very general, but the breadth of the material covered is astounding. Biology, seemed to be the opposite; many of the questions were very specific. Chemistry is happily in the middle. With a solid understanding of the general concepts, you will overall do very well.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>@Tman1005 Thanks! That just solved most of my worries about the science section. I still need to freshen up on bio then, since I don’t remember anything from that class.</p>
<p>Room 312 mathematics hall on the 26th!</p>
<p>Does anyone know an approximate acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Last year’s was a little less than 19%, according to my acceptance letter.</p>
<p>I suck at bio. If I can only nail Chem and the math, am I good?</p>
<p>I’m taking it on April 5th in the Mathematics Hall. </p>
<p>@Indiankid96 - Thanks! For some reason, I thought it was higher than that… :o</p>
<p>@Hawace - I’m in the same situation; I’ve never taken physics and I absolutely suck at bio and pretty much forgot everything I learned. I’m taking chemistry right now, though, and dare I say it’s actually pretty intuitive for me? Math has always come pretty naturally to me, too.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the “easy” math questions are like? (There’s 50 “easy” ones and 20 AMC-level ones, right?)</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity</p>
<p>The easy math section is SAT-Level problems, if not easier. Basic geometry, <em>algebra</em>, <em>interpreting graphs</em>, and statistics all showed up on my test. </p>
<p>@Tman1005 - Alright, thanks! That makes me a little less nervous. (:</p>
<p>@Tman1005 Since you took it before, Do you remember what the bio and earth science questions were based on?</p>
<p>Was it multiple choice? And is it hard?</p>
<p>If I studied from the Barrons bio SAT book, will I be okay for the exam?</p>
<p>For those of you who were wondering I was accepted as a freshman with mediocre grades like 3 As and 3 Bs then As in electives and a meh essay but good recommendations and what I presume was excellent test performance</p>
