Yeah, the barrons book at least.

I wonder what sigma the starting velocity of your vomit would correlate with in the general populace...

>>1716753
Get some prep books, the exams in there are pretty good.

>>1716736
Sounds like bullshit to me, let's see it.

>>1716737
It's the WAIS chart, never mind the site. It's floating around a bunch of places.

Well college graduates are a fully sigma above the normal populace, that has to come from somewhere.

>>1716713
BTW the new ACT 36 is roughly the 99.96th centile according to ACT's data, but we still run into the fact that an average score on the ACT probably still correlates with a somewhat above average IQ due to self selection bias.

The old WAIS chart places an ACT of 21 (average) at an IQ of 108.

>>1716697
This is true, did you not read >The ACT already self selects to a certain degree, so these figures don't represent the entire population, only college-bound students.


Maybe this chart will give you a better indication, but its old as shit, back before all the tests were recenterd: http://www.megafoundation.org/Ultranet/scores.htm

Only Yale now, IIRC. Other than Yale the "top schools don't take the ACT" is an old wives tale.

>>1716643
An ACT score of 36 is 2.92 sigma above normal, same as an IQ of 147 on an SD16 test.

The ACT already self selects to a certain degree, so these figures don't represent the entire population, only college-bound students.

I scored 36 twice in practice for it.

And I have DSPS, 8am tests are not my thing.

>>1716592
No, it doesn't. IIRC both tests have a few hundred aces out of around a million and a half takes.

Both tests publish exact score figures on their sites if you care to verify...

SAT math is a real bitch. I missed four questions out of over 50 and only got 700 >.<

Critical reading has a much nicer curve on both tests, you can miss a few and still score only a point/ten points down.

Either way, I scored well into the 99th. So there. Motherfucker, I'm awesome.

Hurps durps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACT_(test)#Score_cumulative_percentages_and_comparison_with_SAT

>>1716520
Fuck, I only got 33 >.<

But we're only about a half dozen questions apart out of over 200, the curve is very steep at the top.

Well hurpity durp durp, another anon doesn't know how to use google scholar!

>protip: 95% of serious threads on /sci/ can be answered in a single google scholar search

torrent as many calc ebooks as possible, watch lectures from multiple sources, take a lot of practice tests

Electrical engineering.

Because, fuck yeah circuits

>implying there isn't khanacademy and thinkwell, MIT lectures, etc

CLEP is generally useless at most top universities.

What you want is credit by exam, you'll have to talk to the head of each department about it, your adviser can point you in the right direction.

As far as the two physics subjects, if your talking about next year, sign up for both AP Physics C tests in may with collegeboard.

Because the final exam is administered by collegeboard, you can take AP tests even if you didn't take the course and/or are no longer a high school student.

I know, I've done it.

And I'm thinking of taking more the end of this academic year to get rid of gened courses. Just remember you'll have to contact collegeboard sometime around February to sign up.

Dude, how can I not like 9?

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7002647614204162201#

Also 8 is the hottest, then 2, then 9. Rest are varying degrees of meh, except 5-7 which are varying degrees of disgusting.

Yeah, ricin is more detectable than it used to be: http://www.forensicmag.com/article/ricin-rise-are-we-prepared?
