<p>@charizarrd:
No, I don’t remember any of those questions.</p>

402

<p>^ I’m sure that was my experimental… so there must be two different experimental sections then (:</p>

403

<p>i can’t believe i bubbled the wrong one.
after months and months of preparation. i bubbled the wrong one.
**** my life.
I HATE THE SATS</p>

404

<p>omg.
was
1/12 A?</p>

405

<p>I feel awful now. I seriously suck at math. Can anybody tell me what score a -17 will get me?</p>

406

<p>^ Curves here- <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

407

<p>Wait none of those are for January though, are they? D:</p>

408

<p>^ Nono, they just give you an idea of what your score might be like if you know how many you got wrong. And they sort it into easy/ medium/ hard so you can predict it more accurately (e.g. this math was easy).</p>

409

<p>what would a -4 wrong get 700? (hopefully)</p>

410

<p>4 wrong in MC would result in -5 raw points. Which would be a high 600 /700</p>

411

<p>wow… that’s a ***** curve. my god… and i ruined it for myself by filling one in incorrectly.</p>

412

<p>The math section in the test was extremely easy (although I got an easy question wrong myself), so the curve would have to be harsher.</p>

413

<p>@rubikscube99
Yes it was A.</p>

414

<p>@jhwu928
Those are for the SATs administered in 2005</p>

415

<p>i got two math’s back to back. which one was experimental? hopefully the first one of the two :S</p>

416

<p>I’m right there with you, rubikscube99… I naively thought that I could be done after my first try, but I have to get one tiny little easy one wrong! I will online-cry for both of us.
:‘( :’( :cry:
Okay then.</p>

</p>

<p>If you look at the dates on the top, you’ll notice that they’re for 2005-2009. They’re not meant to be score predictors; they just give you a good indication of what the curves are like for generally “easy”, “medium” and “hard” tests.</p>

418

<p>what was the answer to one where you needed to find the constant k and the distance between the middle of the parabola was 1.4 and the distance from the x axis to a point was 1?Also was this question in an experimental section?</p>

419

<p>can someone explain what the answer was for
6x + 3 >= n
solve for x
i got (n-3)/6 but i couldnt find that answer</p>

420

<p>@mancunited
6x+3>a
6x>a-3
x>(a-3)/6
x>(a/6)-(1/2)
the answer was a/6 because (a/6)>(a/6)-(1/2), and the other choices were not >(a/6)-(1/2)</p>
