<p>anyone get 6a/1080r for that one question?</p>
<p>We’re pretty sure its 10a/r</p>
<p>crap, that brings my questions right down to 11. ARe we sure there was a unit change in in square’s volume problem? cuz i put 6, getting me 12 right…</p>
<p>@cortana yes, volume was in terms of cubic feet. the surface area was in terms of square inches. :</p>
<p>sooo assuming i didnt make any other dumb mistakes, is 11 enough or at least the mark of a good chance? the program is every saturday so i wont be too disappointed if i dont get in but it would be a nice experience and im a junior</p>
<p>@cortana shouldn’t the other sections count as well? or is there actually a cutoff for the challenge math section that guarantees you in o_O</p>
<p>Im not sure but from what everyone is saying, the challenge portion is the biggest factor in the test. im confident i did well on the other portions</p>
<p>Oh- i was looking at posts from last years SHP test and there was a junior who got in with 9/15 challenge right.</p>
<p>Also, those questions, IMO, were comparable to the first 5 problems of the AMC 12.</p>
<p>Posting answers (my answers at least): </p>
<ol>
<li>-1</li>
<li>(If this was the one involving the even 3-digit number, I got 25, but I accidentally marked 26 I believe -.-)
Some problem with triangles: 4 root 2
Absolute Value Graph and Circle: Pi
a/|a| + b/|b|… : {-4, 0, 4}
The thing with -3x^2 + 8x: I screwed up and somehow got 4 after plugging in 4/3, but people are getting 16/3
Surface Area and Volume: 6, but I didn’t see the different units, but people are getting 864.
Something with a/6 and r: 10a/r
Question with the cube and paint: 488.
Question with (x+2)(x-3) < 0: -2 < x < 3
Worker problem: y^3 / x^2
Probability problem: 0.08
Q14: 3 False
Q15: 2.5</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m missing one more… I can’t recall it .-.</p>
<p>-1, 25, 4 root 2, pi, {-4,0,4}, 16/3, 864, 488, -2<x<3, y^3/x^2, 0.08, 3 false.
Didn’t answer 2 of them. I essentially got the same answers as Chendaming for most of them. I believe I got 13/15 on this section :P</p>
<p>umm i think the one you’re missing was something like if
1/2 > x > 2 and 1/2 > y > 2</p>
<p>then what is the range of xy?</p>
<p>Thanks, then I believe I got 1/4 > xy > 4</p>
<p>Yeah, that question was so simple, I also got 1/4<xy<4</p>
<p>only 11 correct 
is that possible to get in with maybe 48/50 and 55/75?</p>
<p>Woops, 1/4 > xy > 4 makes no sense lol.
Yeah, it’s 1/4 < xy < 4</p>
<p>So that’s 12 right and 3 wrong… I want to know the penalty now :'(</p>
<p>I have the same dilemna @daniel6738 except i thought i did better on science..</p>
<p>yea actually 55/75 is being conservative i guess lol
do you think that 11 right 4 blank is better in terms of points that 12 right 3 wrong?</p>
<p>Probably the same, if it’s -1/4 per problem, I would get a 11.25</p>
<p>That range problem, I think that was on the first math section.</p>
<p>@Chendaming: I think the problem you’re missing is the one that asks you to find the value of a so that the two lines are perpendicular. Wasn’t it -6?</p>
<p>yea it was -6 :)</p>
