@dsi411 the essay score counts for ~30% of the total writing score.
I have a 4.0 UW and 4.36 W gpa but my school probably isn’t as hard as yours’
Also classes are done and now I only have finals!
My writing has been around 720, with a 9 essay. If I can get it to 10-11, I can probably get 750+. I’m not going to take either SAT though.
In studying for the SAT II, I’ve revisited probability. Probability is the one math concept that I just don’t really get. Even the basic probability problems are so hard for me. Does anyone else find probability to be hard as well?
@dsi411 SAME. I just can’t do statistics.
@dsi411 I did and to some extent still do. What I found helpful was taking some difficult problems and brute forcing them to understand what you are really doing when using the formulas.
I’m not very good at probability either (let’s just say that probability is the reason I’ve had to work hard in math for past quarter). I mean, I’m good at some parts of it (like this one: say you’ve got a dice and there are three people who are rolling it in a cycle; what’s the probability that the third person will be the first one to roll a 6? the second person? the first person?). For the most part, though, I really can’t stand probability/statistics.
@dsi11 I remember in Geometry I couldn’t figure out how to do probability questions using playing cards, and one person who literally failed the AP gov final was like “r u retarded?”
@dsi411 I can’t solve simple probability problems to save my life! Probability just goes over my head and does not make sense at all. Last year, I failed the probability chapter and ended up with a B for the semester 
(Darn those permutations! 
)
for SAT Chem, do we need to memorize activity series?
I’m about to have a 3.9 unweighted GPA after grades are put in, but I got a score of 1600 on the PSAT. Should I be worried, because you’re all posting amazing scores, and here I am like: >.>
I do plan on studying the summer for the SAT.
I got a 191 on the PSAT which isn’t super high, but I do well in school and on SAT practice tests so I wouldn’t worry about it, hun!
Finals are tomorrow and Friday for me, and then school is over!
My finals are next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! I can’t wait for school to be over.
I find it weird and interesting that you guys know advanced math but stumble on probability.
I actually passed the probability and combinatorics unit with flying colors…
GOOD LUCK TO THOSE TAKING THE SAT OR SAT SUBJECT TESTS THIS SATURDAY
oh and my final final of the school year is tomorrow: chem T__T
I was referring to Yakisoba and dsi
I’m pretty sure I’ve been bsing math for years. XD
How do you bs math. Plz teach me how to do that
