<p>I think it was 5000. I just wanted to make sure that’s what the question was asking. The area of the rectangle decreased by 1%</p>

442

<p>The voting one was 5000, the rectangle was a decrease of 1%.</p>

443

<p>I know I had a math experimental, but I can’t figure out for the life of me which one it was…</p>

444

<p>Same with me, Supa. If I’m recalling correctly, Sections 3, 4, 7, and 9 were math sections for me. I THINK section 4 was experimental, as it seemed quite difficult. Can anyone please verify?</p>

445

<p>was the section with the last question giving you 2 overlapping triangles and then asking you to find a length of a side part of experimental?</p>

446

<p>i think that was experimental b/c i didnt have that question on my test</p>

447

<p>you guys sure that the voter one was 5000?? that would make my day since i tried doing it after the test and get 6600, i think i was using .165 instead of .125?</p>

<p>if I want at least 780, and i know i got one wrong, should i cancel the score…?</p>

448

<p>Yeah, the voter one was 5000.</p>

<p>They didn’t ask for percent increase.</p>

449

<p>oh and did anyone else get 16 for the one with the 4 different colored seats and two pairs of players that had to sit next to each other?</p>

450

<p>^Experimental^</p>

451

<p>What was the answer to the m, 3m isosceles triangle one?</p>

452

<p>ah ok thanks. if i remeber right i felt pretty good about that section sigh…</p>

453

<p>ay did anyone remember a question like x=y^x and then it asked u you to find the value of x or y or something like that…</p>

454

<p>answer was x = 2</p>

455

<p>I agree with phlpsun.</p>

456

<p>oh bummer…
and i was going to guess that too but i left it blank : (</p>

457

<p>Is there any chance that -1 Math would still be an 800?</p>

458

<p>nah it was too easy. there were a couple of hard problems but overall, it was pretty easy. i left 4 blank, 2 of them which i knew how to answer but ran out of time : (</p>

459

<p>i doubt -1 would be 800 probably 770-780…maybe even 760</p>

460

<p>i think -1 would be like 780 this time. I felt it was more difficult than the December SAT which had a -1 = 770 curve.</p>
