Columbia University Science Honors Program Test Authority

Hi all- I'm a little confused about the entrance examination for the columbia SHP. I took honors bio last year but we never even touched on the human body-- do we have to know any organismal bio/ human body bio? What topics will be on the bio section?

Columbia University Science Honors Program Test Plan. Coterminal Program in Management Science and Engineering. Columbia University in the City of New York.

I'm taking honors chem this year- do i need to know like acid/base rxn's? What topics do i need to know for the chem section? As u may already know --- I HAVENT TAKEN PHYSICS YET!!! How advanced will the physics be--- will it be general or numeric? What topics do i haev to know for thge physics section? Thanks so much for the help!

Im really confused and really need clarification! If u have taken the test or r already in SHP-- PLEASE RESPOND!!!

The science section is actually very diverse. I remember when I took it geology and meteorology were on it, lol. I remember leaving out some of the physics questions about parallel and series circuitry.

Overally the science section was pretty straightforward though. Kambakkht ishq mp3. I remember taking out my Bio Regents book the day before, and seeing one of the questions word for word on the test. So science is essentially Honors level, no complicated genetic stuff, no calculus-related chem, no calculus-related physics. More than anything it tests for general awareness of science, which is next to impossible to study or cram for. The challenge math questions part is definitely the most important--get more than ten of these right and you're almost guaranteed to get in. These are generally AMC-level questions.

Lol the infamous AMC-- i took that and got a 102 i think (lol barely got in-- AIME was HARD-- anything like that?) is a 102 as a score on the AMC probably indicative that i will be able to do the problems on the challenge math entrance exam? Thanks about the physics--- most of the stuff in physics ill probably be able to derive anyway:D -- except for circuits and electricity. For bio-- is basic mendelian genetics ok? For chemistry do i need to know stoichiometry or gas laws? Thanks again for the help! Anything that you can suggest for studying or ANY information would be of great help! I took the SHP entrance exam last year, and am now attending the program.

You get crammed into a small room in a random building with a dozen other people (most likely all Asian), and a procter starts the test for you. There WILL be things from Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, AND Physics on the test. If I recall correctly, the science section was regents level, so you shouldn't sweat it too much. Just get a basic understanding of the subjects you haven't learned yet. And yeah, I do remember a question about parallel/series circuits. There's an easy SAT I-level math section on the exam followed by a much harder AMC (as mentioned above) level math section that basically makes or breaks your entrance. To quote my dad, 'Everyone there is like you, so they can all get perfect scores on the easy parts.
