<p>Yes I got remainder 4 on that</p>
<p>Do you guys remember the Celsius question? What did you get for that one and how did you get it as well?</p>
<p>@ sat gangsta: I don;t remember the exact number I put, but i used your strategy. I do remember that the altitude was 20 or 24 (I think)</p>
<p>Also, i think the issue with the “has shrunk” was that the past irregular tense of to shrink is “has shrunken”, not “has shrunk”</p>
<p>and for the celsius one. I don;t remeber my answer, but i cnverted each of the highest and lowest F degrees to celsius and then i subtracted them…</p>
<p>However, I got a different answer when Isubtracted the F degrees and then converted the difference to Farenheit, but I’m almost certain that is not the right way to do it.</p>
<p>and, even though it is implausible, I am going to cling to my hope that the naswer for the angle one was angles 1 and 2.</p>
<p>For the celsius one, I put 70/9. I found the range in F then plugged it in. I did it wrong…I feel like a ■■■■■■ now. The correct answer is 10 I think (using the first method you posted).</p>
<p>The “shrunk” question I put D.</p>
<p>30 for the tournament</p>
<p>and I put angles 1 and 2…not sure if it’s right.</p>
<p>anyone still think they got a 2400? I am still hoping. So far, I only know of one reading question I got wrong, and I am only skeptical about one math question. Hopefully, the curve will be generous. i think December is one of the better months for the curve.</p>
<p>Sorry to repeat this question, but I am really curious: Do the 7th grade TIP kids get counted in the curve? that would make for a pretty nice curve, as most of them will get 400-500 in each section, don’t you think?</p>
<p>math:
for the celcius question i think it was 10, what i did was take the range in fahrenheit and multiplied by 5/9. note that you shouldn’t plug the range of fahrenheit into the equation, you are simply finding the range, not equaivalent values.
though i also checked it by plugging in the highest and lowest values in fahrenheit and converting to celcius, and taking the difference.</p>
<p>the angles one is almost 100% “only angle 1” because 1 is complimentary to 2. and 3 is complimentary to 4. i solved a couple triangle’s angles and got that 1=3. while it is true that 3 CAN equal 4, and thus, 3 = 1 = 2 = 4, A. that wasn’t an option, and B. you can’t assume 3=4. therefore the only answer that is always correct is “only angle 1”.</p>
<p>hopeful1992: i don’t think i got a 2400. i know i missed one or two critical reading, maybe a writing on the last section, and i know i multiplied wrong on a really easy math question (the one about how long it takes to write invitations).</p>
<p>Oh yeah, what did you all get for the invitations question?</p>
<p>I think I may have gotten a 2400, but I really do not know obviously. </p>
<p>Who are these TIP kids that you speak of?</p>
<p>the answer should be 4 hours, i think. heres how you do it</p>
<p>250 invitations / 8 hours is the same thing as 8 hours / 250 invitations = .032 hr/invitation
since two people are working on it, you divide by two (it takes 1/2 the time to do it). what my mistake was is that i multiplied by two. now you have the rate as .016 hrs/invitation (thats both of them), and you multiply by 250 invitations to get 4 hours.
or you can simply say that since theres two of them it takes half the time. 8/2=4</p>
<p>since i multiplied by two instead, i got 2 hours. i realized it right after the test and was kinda bummed 
no 800 for me.</p>
<p>I hopefully got a 2380. Made one horrible mistake in math >.< and I think I got -1 in reading, I’m still not sure what the right answer to the last question for the privacy passage is.</p>
<p>i think that privacy passage which people are talking about is experimental because i didn’t have it.</p>
<p>i think there are more than one subject and version of experimental passages.</p>
<p>Yay! haha, I put 4 hours and just used the second method so it took me about 5 seconds to answer, so I’m glad I didn’t waste more time on that. </p>
<p>Do you guys want to talk about CR and W more? Namely, the CR passages. Do you remember any of the ?s from the “advert” passage?</p>
<p>@satgangsta:I don’t remember my answer to the Celsius question, but you agree that you can convert the max and min to celsius then subtract, right?</p>
<p>the Tip kids are those seventh graders who take the SAt to qualify for The john Hopkins talent Identification program. There is a similar programf or DUKE, too, but I can;t remeber what it was callled.</p>
<p>Yeah, I though the invitations one was pretty easy. it was 4 hours.</p>
<p>Anyone think that -1 in math could be an 800 for this SAT?</p>
<p>@dpattzlover: I didn’t get that passage, and I didn’t get a lot of the questions you guys are talking about. I think that different forms might have different questions altogether. I had an experimental reading passage, and I did not get any advert passage? just to make sure, what was the advert passage about again.</p>
<p>And pontificating means to speak pompously right? Was that the answer to that question (from the asian teacher passage)?</p>
<p>Would any of you mind posting past sat scores and how long ago you took them?</p>
<p>I got a 2200 last year.</p>
<p>I said speaking pompously for that one</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure different people have diff experimental sections</p>
<p>I had no computer monitor/technology/privacy passage</p>
<p>1st time taking I’m hoping for 2300+</p>
<p>There are different versions of each SAT test, but they usually include some of the same sections. Experimental sections can be easy to discern, if one knows how. On SAT tests, there are always 3 math sections, 3 critical reading sections, and 2 writing sections that COUNT (plus the essay, which is always the first section). So, if you have 4 math or critical reading sections, or 3 writing sections, then you automatically know one of those is experimental, so at least you know the category. Also, there are always 67 critical reading questions, 54 math questions, and 49 writing questions. The last sections of each category, the shorter sections that are only 20 minutes long, definitely count for your score. So, you add up the sections in the middle to see which ones count, and the incongruous one is experimental. Ex:
For critical reading, you have a 24-question section, another 24-question section, and a 25-question section. (these are the most common #s of questions) So, 67-19 = 48 (the most common # of questions for the last, 20 min. section is 19) So you know that the two sections that DO count must add up to 48. So you know that the two 24-question sections count, and the 25-question one is experimental. (I learned how to do this from Steve Kwon prep)</p>
<p>It may be a waste of time to calculate this during the test, or to flip ahead to other sections (you may get caught), but if you have extra time you can do it to see which section is experimental. It makes more sense to just focus hard on each section, and calculate the # of questions later to give you some relief in case you were troubled by one section. I hope this helps everyone understand!</p>
<p>All right, I was not really worried about the experimental section and I don’t really remember all of my sections now, so I’m just waiting for the scores to come out! </p>
<p>haha, anyway, I’ve taken it once before (October '08) and got a 2250, so I’m hoping I got a 2300+ on this last one, but, as I think everything went well, I think a 2350 is plausible. However, I always am hoping for a 2400, which would of course be a wonderful Christmas present! :D!</p>
<p>Good luck to all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>jaydilla got the same as you except for Celsius. dpattz, hopeful and gangsta what did you guys put?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think I’m at or very close to a 2400. So far -0 on M and CR (possibly -1 CR) and then I’m not sure about writing. If I missed the shrunk question by picking D, then I will only get it if I wrote an 11-12 essay. I did two full pages (minus like 1.5 lines) but I was in mid concluding sentence…</p>
<p>lolcats4–If you don’t mind me asking, what did you get last time?? Good luck with your scores!</p>
<p>I think I have the strongest chance of an 800 on W, my essay was 2 pages (plus a line). </p>
<p>If you want to answer only ---- what examples did you use for your essays?</p>
