<p>^Honestly, no one cares.</p>
<p>i feel if you are comfortable with the material and truly understand it and go back and review it before the standardized test you should be good to go. Often times you just need to be careful because there are a lot of subtle parts of questions and other times you need to be creative and understand what to do when they throw you a curveball. If you really understand the material though, you should be able to recognize how to handle the tricky questions they throw at you, and if not, you can use your math knowledge to play around with different ways to approach the problem</p>

<p>I’m assuming that’s out of 1600, since everyone I know (and I know kids whom I do not consider at all naturally smart - maybe the opposite - and do not work hard) pulled off 1250+ out of 2400. 1230 is an awful score out of 2400 and even if you study all day, everyday, you can’t get a 3.75 with that score.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why? That makes no sense, you should talk to the principal if this lowers your grade. Teachers can’t just take off points because they feel like it. That’s like giving you a 200 on an SAT II when you answer all the questions correctly.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you don’t mind my being rude, how did you not know that? I mean, did you never learn it or what, because I think that’s pretty much a logic problem.</p>
<p>@bobtheboy</p>
<p>yeah it was out of 1600. 1230/2400 would be atrocious haha.</p>
<p>No, I’m calling BS, if you have above a 3.7 and get below a 1500 on the SAT, you have grade inflation at your school.</p>
<p>I think 3 omit and 1 wrong would still be an 800 (probably, since the curves in my blue CB math2 book says so)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is completely and utterly false. Some people are just bad at taking the SATs and also, for some people who have above a 3.7, time may be a major issue.</p>
<p>I would say around 5 wrong, 5 omitted for me. What does that equate to?</p>
<p>@meteman</p>
<p>Well then I guess our school has grade inflation. I’m just stating the truth. I could always take pictures of his transcripts, SAT scores, and acceptance letters to prove you wrong. Though you may declare my school has grade inflation apparently the admissions counselors from those schools didn’t seem to see it that way.</p>
<p>EDIT: Our school only counts the Core classes into your GPA. Meaning someone can’t just waltz through high school taking gym/health classes along with some intro classes and be number 1. AP and Honors are weighted and ultimately factored into your GPA as well. </p>
<p>Also, this kid who is ranked, 8th I believed, scored somewhere around a 1480. His GPA was about a 3.60ish. He’s really intelligent and bright, but just doesn’t put any effort into his studies and that’s why he’s not number 1. I read his essays, as well, and they sucked. Maybe that’s why he was rejected from Yale. Who knows. All I’m saying is SATs aren’t everything and just because you’re highly ranked and have a high GPA and do below par on SATs, that your school is easy or whatever.</p>
<p>I have my opinion on the matter, and you have your opinion on the matter. Though I may not agree with it, I do respected and value your input, however I believe if we start discussing this there will be no end and the consequence of it will just be cluttering this useful thread. It’s like making someone believe there is a God to someone who doesn’t believe. Just doesn’t work out. I shared my opinion. It seem liked you did too, so hopefully we could just move on and answer some more MATH II questions.</p>
<p>Honestly, did anyone think the test was WAY harder than the 2 CB tests.</p>
<p>@kaitanuva- from the books i have seen you could still be in the range of an 800. I would guess between 780-800. The barron’s book gives this equation to find out your score: S= 800 - 10(44-R) where R is the number right - .25(number wrong)</p>
<p>^wow okay i love you chitown11. even though im not the original asker, im in like a similar predicament.
so that comment made my day. 780-800!?!? seriously?</p>
<p>“Graph shift, f(x) = f(x-2) + 3: two to the right, three up”</p>
<p>Isnt the answer f(x+2)?</p>
<p>really sorry to say this woot, but i think i miss read what he said… 5 wrong and 5 omitted would actually be more in the 750-770 sorry for the mistake.</p>
<p>umm. are you guys sure that the answer was sin (2 theta). I remember getting 2cos (2theta), and I was pretty sure of it…</p>
<p>and di anyone happen to get -b for an answer?</p>
<p>-b was an answer.</p>
<p>im still convinced it was positive b</p>
<p>yes it was -b</p>
