Columbia University Science Honors Program ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

I took the test yesterday, and the questions were the same difficulty as difficult amc8 level questions, at most. (and like 3 questions amc10 13~19 level) Good luck!

@brainbuilder02 sure!

I took the test last year (I was a freshman) without any preparation. After the test the score that I estimated I got was 47 for easy math, 50-55 for science and 14-15 for challenge math although I probably overestimated by scores. For freshmen I think they just want you to do really well on one of the tests so I got pretty lucky.

Anybody who took the test:
What dd you get for the graph queston with the y=x and y^2 +x^2 = 4 Or somethng lke that

I got pi

What did you guys get for that challenge math question about false statements?

For the people who took it in 2017, how was it? I am a freshman who has taken algebra 1 and earth science, and am now currently taking Geometry honors and Biology honors. I am pretty good at algebra and decent honors geometry, but am much better at earth science and honors bio. What should I study? what level questions does it have? What subjects in math do I need to know, and what subjects in science do I need to know? From what I understand it has a math section, science section, and amc questions. How can I study for this? Thanks in advance.

i got 3 @jiwonie11

Thank the lord

what level is the “easy” math

Sat 1 math section @pap_21

Hi! I’m a freshman applying to the program and I was wondering if the math and science sections were all multiple choice, and if not which sections were multiple choice and which sections weren’t? Thanks in advance!

Is the exam mostly environmental science and biology with a few chem/phys questions?

@Natalia711 I don’t think so, the science section is very broad. If you look around this post, you’ll see a lot of people that took the exam and shared with you about it. I’m taking the exam tomorrow so I guess I can give you an insight too.

I am taking the test tomorrow too, and i know this is a stupid question but can we bring mechnical pencils instead of #2 pencils? I just do not feel comfortable writing normal pencils

Goodluck tomorrow everone!

How did everyone do?
I think I got:
12 Challenge Math
68-70 Science
45-46 Easy math (blech stupid mistake)

Is this a competent score?

Ok, the test was kinda harder than I expected:
Do think I’ll get in?
43-44 Easy Math (skipped like 3)
65-70 Science
11 Challenge Math (skipped 2)
Also, I’m a freshman, so I don’t know if that helps.

The science section was weird…I haven’t taken earth science since 7th grade. The easy math was really easy, and the challenge math really had a variety of difficulty levels.

47 Easy math
67 Science
12-13 Challenge math

Any idea what the cutoff is? Did anyone get the ‘age of the three people’ challenge question?
