How detailed is the SAT II USH?

Archive SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>The primary goal of the Manhattan Project was to develop
(A) nuclear submarines
(B) surface-to-air missiles
(C) biological weapons
(D) atomic bombs
(E) hydrogen bombs</p>

<p>D or E, cmon, this isn’t the SAT II Chemistry. This question was on Sparknotes test Number 2. Of course its not an official CB test, but it got me wondering just how detailed a question can be.</p>

2

<p>some are and some arent</p>

<p>simple as that</p>

3

<p>If it was that simple, I wouldn’t have made a thread. Make your posts more productive.</p>

4

<p>actually what i speak of is true</p>

<p>it is productive</p>

<p>the fact is some questions can go in-depth</p>

<p>while some barely touch the tip</p>

<p>so if u average that out the answer is in-between </p>

<p>not too in-depth and not too un-detailed</p>

<p>i thought u could realize that by my previous post but i guess not</p>

<p>Well, actually it was nuclear, so D. I know that my history textbook talked quite a bit how the development of the hydrogen bomb was part of later containment policies.</p>

6

<p>This type of question could definitely be on the test. The majority of the obscure questions tend to focus around people-specifically authors/concepts of important books.</p>

7

<p>That was actually a pretty easy question. Manhattan project was underway before the attack on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, so it should have been the atom bomb, not the hydrogen bomb.</p>

<p>Just remember that the hydrogen bombs are like 1000x greater than atom bombs.</p>

<p>For people that have taken the test, around how many questions actually go in depth, as in question or percentage wise? I just want to know if its 50%/50% or like 25%/75% ratio of hard to easy problems</p>

8

<p>I would say 25% are very specific/relatively difficult. However, they are fact based usually so you either know them or you don’t. If you have studied considerably I would sya that number drops to 10%.</p>

9

<p>It is also important to note that there are well over 25% that are specific and fact based, I was just estimating the number of questions that could potentially trick you up without an in depth knowledge of the material required for those specific questions.</p>
