Columbia University Science Honors Program ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

<p>@Hawkace how do you know that the rate is higher? </p>

<p>Cause Columbia wants freshman that will attend 3 years instead of a junior who attends 1 year. Common sense plus friends have told me that this is the policy. </p>

<p>Oh I thought you meant that in general more people will get in this year. Yea in that case I agree.</p>

<p>How was the chemistry on the test? </p>

<p>@hqearth‌ I’m going to be frank with you. I’m in AP Chem and some of the questions on that test were kinda difficult. The science section is really whacked because it covers almost everything in life.</p>

<p>@Hawkace‌ Really? What were the questions focused on (stoichiometry, etc.). Like what should I study the most?
Sorry for all the questions ><</p>

<p>@hqearth Tbh stoich is so easy that a first grader can do it, It focuses on concepts. Like the definition of spectra lines or what is the most electronegative. Stoich is a huge part of this test but, there are questions as well. </p>

<p>@Hawkace‌ Ok, thank you!</p>

<p>Hi guys. I haven’t taken physics yet in high school, so can anyone tell me what topics I should teach myself in physics before my test. Thank you :)</p>

<p>Based on the whole “freshman can attend 3 years vs. junior can only attend 1 year”, it’s also somewhat easy for a sophomore to get in too, right…</p>

<p>@catchinginfinity‌ Not quite. Sophomore would be pushed in with the juniors but they have a better chance of getting accepted. </p>

<p>So how many students are taking the test this year? How many do you think will get in?</p>

<p>Are we given a periodic table of elements?</p>

<p>@hqearth You don’t get anything with the science section. Just the questions. Relax. You can’t study for it, tbh. </p>

<p>Any formulas that we have to know for the test?</p>

<p>@ skyisover Not really. You can’t really prepare for it. </p>

<p>Regardless of whether you get in or not, do you end up finding out how many questions you got right?</p>

<p>Good luck you guys! </p>

<p>Are there deductions for incorrect answers? </p>

<p>@defyinggravityO‌ Yes</p>
