<p>What are the most frequent Earth Science topics in the exam? I don’t plan on studying a 750 page Earth sci regents book in 3 weeks, so I just want to learn the most important stuff that will be in the exam :P</p>
<p>I heard there were at most 5 Qs about earth science, so it’s really not worth it imo. It’s mostly bio and chem stuff, so I would study those instead :)</p>
<p>I didn’t study for the test at all LOLL. The whole point is to test how much you know of science right now, not how much you can superficially cram in throughout 3 short weeks or so. I’m pretty sure somewhere on the website it even tells you NOT to study.</p>
<p>"Entrance Examination</p>
<p>As part of the application process, there will also be a 3-hour entrance examination given at Columbia University. There are two scheduled Saturday dates for the entrance examination in the spring of 2011: April 2 and April 16. Students will be asked to indicate their preferred examination date; however, the SHP cannot guarantee that a student will receive his/her first choice. The examination will be from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The test will contain questions in mathematics and science. Students are expected to have a background in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and probability, together with some knowledge of elementary science subjects. No special studying or review is needed for the examination."</p>
<p>meh, alright screw studying earth science 
i’m just going to review some bio and chem :)</p>
<p>SOOO few questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>do they give us reference tables like on regents chem?</li>
<li>is this a multiple choice test</li>
<li>what kind of theories or types of math do we need to know</li>
<li>does anyone know some important topics or question</li>
</ol>
<p>thanks in advance, excited to take the test</p>
<p>I’m going to take the test for the first time.
- Not sure about this.
- Yes, everything is multiple choice.
- I heard that the first math section is just basic math; it’s approximately the equivalent of an SAT ll math lvl 1. The second math section is AMC10 level.
- I don’t know specific topics, but I do know that there’s going to be Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Science. The majority of the posts claim that in the science section, biology is the most frequent subject while physics is the least.</p>
<p>Good luck on the test :)</p>
<p>is there anything you can really study for this? or is it basically just seeing what you already know?</p>
<p>It’s a bit too late to study for it… you might as well just review everything you know or learned in science and math. I wanted to study Earth Science but seeing as I have less than 3 weeks until the exam, I’m just going to use up the remainder of my time to go over Chemistry and Biology, since I already took those courses and they compose the majority of the science section.</p>
<p>Is there a lot of geometry in the math section? Because that was 2 years ago…>.<</p>
<p>Thanks master of puppets for the reply</p>
<p>anyone else know if there will be reference tables on the test?</p>
<p>I understand that its Biology mostly, but how complicated are we talking about? I mean my review thing has stuff like gene expression, gene regulation etc. Are we talking about straight up memorizing (like dna litigase or how to extract DNA) or more of a critical thinking?</p>
<p>To put it into an example, will we have to know, say, what exactly occurs in cellular respiration (including numbers such as ATP produced etc), or the general gist ofit?</p>
<p>The science section is Regents level.</p>
<p>i am sorry i am not in NY, so i do not know what “regents is :O”</p>
<p>“regents”*</p>
<p>anyone remember any earth science and physics q’s?</p>
<p>anyone in pupin rm 301? sorry kind of off topic. im going to be the morbidly obese froshie probably in a yankee’s sweatshirt</p>
<p>Do we need to know things like the igneous, sedimentary, etc rocks and their processes? What are the topics of earth science? I’ve forgotten everything! D:</p>
<p>Also, what topics of biology will be on there? The general or very specific (like someone said, cellular respiratory process and all the little molecules involved). Do we need to know every protein, every catalyst involved in each biological process?</p>
<p>THIS IS SO TEDIOUS!! TT^TT</p>
<p>Oh how about this:</p>
<p>EVERYONE POST WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT SCIENCE!!!</p>
<p>We can compile a study guide from all the different years of high school here. Especially bio!!</p>
