SAT II Subject Test Topic List
SAT II Recap Multiple choice review answers
Some General Lab Clarifications:
-Your answers should never match another student's answers unless they are common calculations or a definition for the lab.
-If I give you a graph title (something vs something else), use the order to determine who is on which axis. Unless you are asked to determine who is dependent and independent, don't think about how to graph it.
-Experimental error discussions involve numerical comparisons and logical reasoning. You should be able to find an error source, avoidable or not, and explain how raw data is impacted....then follow your math to decide how your overall answer would be changed (if at all) by this error. The errors I look for are not blaming a device, but rather procedural or unavaoidable (and realistic errors) that would make a significant impact of raw data. Think back to errors discussed on the penny lab in September!
-Significant figure rounding is NEVER a source of experimental error. If you think the data you took is too limiting, consider using an instrument with higher resolution!
-Raw Data MUST be in a data table, any numbers you get by adding, subtracting etc are considered calculations. Calculations do not need to be in a table
-Don't ignore data that you took...keep it all
-Show one calculation in words and plug in numbers once to show the process
-All calculations should be reported as decimal answers unless the problems specifically says a fractional answer
