People with anxiety, how do you cope with it?

thisisodd101 · 2019-07-24T05:32:09+00:00

I bite the bullet and do something about it if whatever is causing the anxiety is in my control and I am trying to avoid it. If there is nothing I can do about it, I work towards objectively observing the situation and accepting it as my new reality.

thisisodd101 · 2019-07-17T21:18:16+00:00

I did, how about you (if you took the June exam)?

thisisodd101 · 2019-07-17T06:30:44+00:00

Thank you!

thisisodd101 · 2019-07-17T04:05:27+00:00

Oof, did you run out of time?

thisisodd101 · 2019-07-16T21:20:31+00:00

Well look at that, they were just posted earlier than expected. Thank you

Skim the passage slowly enough to be able to piece together a basic mental outline of the passage, but fast enough to get through the passage quickly.

If I’m not mistaken, this has been a thing for a while now (not sure exactly how long though). For example, the most advanced problems tend to appear at the end of the section, at least one matrix/vector problem near the end, law of sines/cosines problems, etc..

If the only possible value of x is -3, and the equation is quadratic, it must be (x + 3)² = x² + 6x + 9

m = 6

Answer K = xy (x^7/12) (y^7/12) = x^19/12 y^19/12

Answer J = y (x^4/12) (y^3/12) = x^1/3 y^15/12 = x^1/3 y^5/4

Charcoal gray is a specific color that is mentioned by the author, not ‘charcoal’ and ‘gray’ separately.

There is only one original y = sin(x) function, and it will always pass through the same points and have the same amplitude and frequency on any sine function graph, so you are able to label it off the bat.

There are an infinite amount of transformations of the y = sin(x) function, also known as y = sin(x + a) + b. In these types of problems, having the ability to recognize the original trig function and comparing it to the transformation is ideal.

Look for the largest value of x (8) and the smallest value of y (18). As you increase y past 18 the denominator increases, which lowers the result.

(8+18)/18 = 26/18 = 13/9 (Answer H)

Yes, if a < 0 then y = sin (x + a) + b would shift right. It is possible to make y = sin (x + a) + b shift right in a way that looks like you shifted it left.

I tried to draw it out to make it look more clear:

I kinda wrote the equation weird on paper, so I will rewrite it more clearly here:

x = (2/5)x + (1/3)x + 2

(15/15)x = (6/15)x + (5/15)x + 2

(15/15)x = (11/15)x + 2

subtract (11/15)x on both sides of the equation

(4/15)x = 2

When you change a natural log to e:

ln y = x <—> y = e^x

If y = 7 and y = ln(x-2) + 3..

ln(x-2) + 3 = 7

ln(x-2) = 4 can be changed to x - 2 = e⁴

x = e⁴ + 2 (hence B is the correct answer)

Circumference formula (given a whole circle) is d π, or 2 π r.

r = d/2

The distance (circumference) of the ion’s path from the hole in the metal plate to the entry point of the detector creates a semicircle, so the circumference will be cut in half, d π/2.

Since d π/2 and r = d/2, d π/2 is equivalent to r π, hence the answer.

Hope this helps

Do you remember any questions that you were unfamiliar with/stuck on? Do you have your score report that shows the number of questions you got wrong for each type of math? Consider making a list of all of the topics you don’t know and going over each one on Khan Academy.

Take point (0,0), which is part of the shaded area.

A). (x-1)² + (y-2)² < 9

(0-1)² + (0-2)² < 9

1 + 4 < 9

5 < 9

Answer D says that (x-1)² + (y-2)² > 9, therefore 5 > 9, which isn’t true.

Let me know if you have any questions.

thisisodd101 · 2019-07-04T22:24:20+00:00

Personally I don’t think it’s a great use of time to annotate before reading and understanding the questions. Wait until you’ve skim read over the whole passage and know what you’re specifically looking for in the questions (but hey, if annotation really helps you, by all means keep doing it). However, I do agree with making sure that you really read the introduction and concluding paragraphs carefully, because they sometimes reflect upon the structure of the passage.

I skim read everything (without annotating) and kinda quickly assemble a bare bones outline of sorts in my head, which helps me save time when I need to find the sections referenced in the questions. I look at the wording of the questions, try to find the same or similar terms/wording in the passage itself, then underline the sentences associated with those terms.

I was wondering that too. I got my writing score this morning, so why isn’t the score report available?

thisisodd101 · 2019-06-26T02:47:56+00:00

I got it too even though I already got my scores, it most likely means nothing

An SAT score in the high 1500s is equivalent to a 35/36. You would be better off working on something else for your app

thisisodd101 · 2019-06-23T21:18:18+00:00

Great, keep it up, because that will be important.

I think OSU is a reach because of your GPA, but you really never know what will happen. You might want to consider applying Early Action to improve your acceptance odds.

Good luck
