<p>Could question 12 have been the unit circle problem where you had to find the length of a specific segment in terms of trig?</p>
<p>Probably. I left the prime one, fire alaram one, and 3 other blank</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you’re mixing questions, but a question like that was definitely not 49.</p>
<p>The one witht the (x,decimal) coordinate. That is probably why I left it blank. I think I could have done it but you have to be strategic when taking the test. How many did you leave blank?</p>
<p>I personally left 2 blank and got 3 wrong.</p>
<p>I took a half-guess on one problem and missed it because of that, but I learned from the Bio SAT II that guessing can really pay off (I’m pretty sure I rose from a 790 to an 800 final score by guessing correctly on a problem in the last minute of the test).</p>
<p>Is everyone sure that the length question is 3<em>7</em>square(2)</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p><a href=“http://powerpolitics.org/unitcirc.jpg[/url]”>http://powerpolitics.org/unitcirc.jpg</a> – does that diagram ring a bell for a problem you left blank?</p>

<p>It comes out to be 29.69. That is the same I put down.</p>
<p>Yeah. Unfortunatly. I was kind of mad that I had to leave it blank. Leaving 5 blank was a real suprise for me. It was really just a time issue. I think that there will be a slight cure this time. The question were much longer than usual. A lot more word problems.</p>
<p>yes i remember the circle problem but unfortunately left it blank. i didn’t know the radius was 1.</p>
<p>Yep… the radius is one by definition in the unit (unit means one) circle.</p>
<p>Funny thing is, the reason I got that one wrong was because I filled in the wrong bubble (proctor was about to call time). I could kick myself.</p>
<p>You will probably still get an 800. Where are you thinking for college and for what?</p>
<p>so i assume everyone thought the test was much harder than the real collegeboard book one, and harder than everything (PR, kaplan, sparknotes) other than barrons… am i correct?</p>
<p>I’d like to go to Yale for Econ and Poli Sci. Math isn’t really a big interest of mine, to tell you the truth (although I definitely recognize its value, and doing algebra is pretty calming).</p>
<p>I assume you’d you like go to MIT?</p>
<p>Definitly. I was really ****ed. I kept wondering when I would get to the short questions that you just plug into your calculator. I kept getting word problem after word problem and was wondering if I was taking the right test.</p>
<p>barrons was harder</p>
<p>I thought it was harder than PR and Kaplan, much easier than Barron’s, and slightly easier than Meylani.</p>
<p>More than anything in the world. I just hope that I have a chance. It is a little scary to look at their acceptance rate. Do you think that SAT scores have a huge effect on acceptance.</p>
<p>mitpropect: were you using the Ti-89 or a lesser model?</p>
<p>Edit: I’m not sure about how they value SATs, but I think if you can get a very high 700s in the IIC you’ll be fine. Although, if you think you can get an 800, you might want to consider retaking it (since MIT emphasizes math and the sciences).</p>
<p>yeah the 89. it is such a nice machine. I love it. I was kinda mad that they don’t have any tests for calculus. I am much better at that.</p>
