January 2009 SAT Math Discussion

<p>Does anyone remember the hardcover books question?</p>

<p>Did the solution come out to something like:
6000 - (4500-2500) = 4000?</p>

<p>yes it did</p>

<p>And was another grid-in 5000? Or was that MC?</p>

<p>It was grid-in with the function of voting population, I believe?</p>

<p>yea voting population had a 5000 increase but I think that was MC??</p>

<p>5000 percent increase. are you sure that sounds way to high, i had liek 6 percent.</p>

<p>i dont think it was percent but was the acual number in increase voters instead</p>

<p>can we go over the grid ins?</p>

<p>was there a 12 and a 125?</p>

<p>oh, also, does anyone remember the letters for the cube and shapes one? because i realized i don’t remember seeing a filled in circle (the top) and the blank circle…only a circle. Was the answer C? there weren’t two circles in the options, right?</p>

<p>how exactly do you guys know which one is the experimental math section?</p>

<p>(I pray to the lord that it was the one with the 5ab5 and 1-k/k because that one destroyed me hahah)</p>

<p>no, i had those questions and my experimental was cr</p>

<p>for the question about the pencils and erasers and like 10 per box, or sumthing like that, how did you guys do it? and was letter was the answer?</p>

<p>If I got 1 mc and 1 grid-in wrong and left 3 blank what is a likely # for my score?
What if I got 2 mc (with the rest staying the same as above)?</p>

<p>You guys know whats weird. The percent increase of the rectangle question was a real exact Question of the Day question. I read it and I didn’t even have to do the work to know the answer lol</p>

<p>For the pencils and crayons it says there’s a ratio of 2 to 1 (20 to 10) in the boxes of pencils and erasers so with 30 erasers or something it was 60 pencils. The answer was 60, but I don’t remember the problem. I actually thought that one was relatively easy.</p>

<p>i had math in sections 3,4,7, and 9. Would you guys know which one is the experimental by any chance?
thanks</p>

<p>4 was experimental.</p>

<p>^@ squadus
so THAT’S why it was familiar. luckily i got the rectangle one though.</p>

<p>sorry - i’d really like to find out. there was a grid-in question with y=5x, with a diagram with angles. x=25, so y= 125 right? and this was the answer right after the grid-in with answer 12?</p>

<p>what was that knit problem about? with 7 stiches to a inch to a 7x7 pattern
that killed me :[</p>
