^ yes i put 4.

And thanks vanpersie

colts, I had the 4 math sections also, and I was just wondering if you knew which of the grid in sections was the experimental...in every sat pratice test I have taken, the grid in was towards the end and that was the one that I thought was a lot easier in comparison to the first grid in section on this test.

GrapeIsGreat

Kespiokre, did you have one cr and two math (1 grid in, 1 mc) as your first two sections? If so, that grid in is experimental. The one with 2 circles on the same side of a tangent line and you had to find the perimeter of the traingle that forms through each point of the tangency. I think I got 8+8sqrts3 or something like that

what was the reading question about the way the scientist felt about dinosaur research. it was either something optimistic or schollarly enthusiastic?

thenerdyjew

Scholarly enthusiastic?

EliKresses

Aww, no full answer key compiled yet?

peteeeee

@thenerdyjew are u sure it was that?

So, I have a quick question about the format of this particular SAT. In the past, I've only gotten one math section with grid answers per test. For some reason, I had two grid sections on this SAT. Happen to anyone else or am I the only one? Or maybe this is just normal? Any answers would be greatly appreciated!

hi, so just to confirm my suspicions....

section 1 - essay
prompt: something about the smartest people helping people...?

section 2 - math, i remember problems
w + 2x + y = 10
2w +2x +2y = 10
x= 5

3^x=k and 3x^2x-1 in terms of k
k=3x^2 or something, it was A.

can everyone confirm that they had these problems for sure?

section 3 - math (experimental??????)
i dont remember any problems on this one except I think there was some inscribed things on the last problem...

section 4 - writing

section 5 reading

section 6 math
grid in's
answers were things like

1600, 54, 9/22

section 7 reading

section 8 reading

section 9 math
i think had problem where you are given a plane and a length of a square side and had to find area???

section 10 writing

anyone else have this test? anyone else can confirm that section 3 with the hard problems with the experimental?

did everyone have the questions i had in section 2?

Divy1234

Did anyone else do the x in terms of k question by plugging in values?
I'm pretty sure I got 3x+3, because I plugged in 2 and got 9. But I can't remember what the problem exactly was...
Actually I have no idea how the problem worked but there's no way I missed that one. Haha.

Math:
(-1,3)
3 ordered pairs
x+y=6
9/22
cube=54
x=5
slope = -2/7
whale= ⅛
sum of something = -3
165 minutes
median-avg = 0
ratio of markers to reststops = 2:1
|w-500|less than/equal to 30
max perimeter = 33
don't remember question, but 48
temperature approximation = 130
another question, 330
grid in function = 9/6
halfsquare = 128
diagonal of square = rad130 about 11.4
length AC = 2xrad3
volume cone = 12pi
number of line segments to connect points = 6
y = 65 degrees
roman numeral question = I,II, and III
greatest value = a+b

If anyone remembers anything else, please add to this!

Wow, I'm surprised at CC. The yo-yo 1950-1951 question was almost certainly "physicists discovered the mechanism responsible for spinning objects" (or something like that). It asked what the author implies happened during that period. And he distinctly said "They did not buy more yo-yo's because they were excited about new principles of circular motion" (or something of the sort). This refers *directly* to his earlier argument with dinosaurs--how their groundbreaking research did not impact the public's newfound obsession with dinosaurs. So, the answer was clearly the choice with "physicists" in it.

Also, can someone refresh me on the 165 minutes question?

Divy1234

No you misunderstood the passage: yes, they WERE NOT excited about circular motion, verifying his belief that, although it would be nice, people do not like dinosaurs due to new findings. He rather said the truth was found where "many can be: in commercialism" therefore the yoyo examPle falls under this argument and he implied that marketing techniques were employed or something. Because he said SOMETHING changed that made people want yoyos, and it wasn't excitement about circular motion. Since he is discussing commercialism here it logically follows that this is what he implied changed.

GoodJobBro

Woa woa woa ^

I think you misunderstood that one. I'm pretty sure if you were given the question again, you would see that, even if not "commercial strategy", it was definately not "new circular motion".

The whole point he was making that even though none of the new research was increasing the dinasours' popularity, they still managed to escalate. Compare yo-yo's with dinosaurs, and the yo-yo's "new principles" with the the dinosaurs' "research". He was making a point that neither was popular due to new discovery, but for commercialization.

Guys, I think I had the experimental CR section; judging on these posts, no one has mentioned it yet so I think it's the section with a passage on animal play studies. There were two passages with different views on the meaning behind animals playing when they're young, and the studies done on it. Something like that!
