Is the Shsat hard?
The SHSAT is a very difficult exam and it has changed for this year. The new handbook isn’t even out online yet. I do have a hard copy of it. The new math section is no more difficult than last year.
What is considered a good Shsat score?
To be on track for admission into all of the Specialized High Schools, students should have a 400 by the start of 7th grade, a 500 by the end of 7th grade and a 600 by the start of 8th grade. The ultimate goal is to score a 650 by your final practice SHSAT before taking the exam.
Can I use a calculator on the Shsat?
Note: Since the test is administered to many students at once, accommodations will not include having someone read passages aloud. Likewise, given the nature of the computational skills being tested, no accommodation will allow the use of a calculator on the math section.
What is the hardest science class?
Organic Chemistry: It shouldn’t surprise you that organic chemistry takes the No. 1 spot as the hardest college course. This course is often referred to as the “pre-med killer” because it actually has caused many pre-med majors to switch their major.
Is it better to take biology or chemistry first?
The most logical sequence is physics, then chemistry, and then biology. This takes you up the hierarchy from the the most basic to the most complex. Much of chemistry is applied physics (physical chemistry), and much of modern biology is biochemistry/molecular biology.
Is chemistry or biology harder?
Chemistry is usually more difficult, especially the labs, because they require a better understanding of mathematics, especially error analysis. Biology is mostly memorization and the understanding of concepts, you will do basic statistics in your BA biology courses.
Do 9th graders take chemistry?
In the school that I attend, Chemistry is generally regarded as a 9th or 10th grade course. Actually, a lot 10th graders in my school (block-schedule) opt to take normal chemistry in the fall semester and AP Chemistry, an equivalent to a 1st year college chemistry course, in the spring semester.
