<p>It’s the same question…you needed the slope to find the answer.</p>
<p>After you find the slope, you then find the y-intercept, which is (0, -5). So the equation is y=3x-5.</p>
<p>Then, since you’re given that y=3, you substitute 3 in for y, and get 3=3x-5, which becomes 8=3x. That’s how you get 8/3.</p>
<p>ok, thanks.</p>
<p>Sigh, I walked out of the SAT almost confident I had a chance at an 800 on Math. Now I know of 3 questions I got wrong. The worst curve I can expect would give me a 720 for that, for one of the questions was thankfully a student produced response, which wouldn’t deduct points, and the best curve I can expect is a 760. How do you guys think the curve will be for the January 25th test?</p>
<p>Average/slightly harsher than average. But I could be wrong!</p>
<p>Can someone explain how they got 5/9 or 55.6 for the bar graph profit question? I got 1/2 and I was pretty confident but it must be wrong since so many people got 5/9. I had 25,000 out of 50,000 for the two months combined out of the total year’s profit. </p>
<p>Also, for the grammar question, maybe #27 or 28, it was something like “My friend and I … reduce to…” ← something like that, I said that “I” was wrong there but it may have been no error, not really sure. </p>
<p>Also for the last question in grammar, 35, I was debating whether to choose “something was needed” or “a definition of planethood was needed.” I ended up choosing “a definition of planethood was needed” but I don’t know if it was right. The question asked how you could best improve the topic sentence of the concluding paragraph. </p>
<p>And the sentence fill-in question that was seminal, did that one talk about the advancement of knowledge or something and were the other choices recondite and inchoate? </p>
<p>Also I know some people are saying they had significant but elusive for one question in CR for the writing/running passage but I definitely didn’t get that. Anyone else know the other answer choices?</p>
<p>Sorry for the length, first time taking the SAT and wanted to only have to take it once! </p>
<p>it was 25000 (january + march iirc) over 45000 (the rest) = 5/9</p>
<p>@ash1008
yup I remember that </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Dunno, must have added wrong somewhere</p></li>
<li><p>Vaguely remember that, I think “I” was wrong, it needed to be changed to “me”</p></li>
<li><p>Correct answer was “a definition of planethood was needed.”</p></li>
<li><p>Yes, although “seminal” is certainly the correct answer.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t remember the other answers, but “significant but elusive” is certainly the correct answer.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Does anyone know anything about the Italian Restaurant? </p>
<p>One question asked something about “Why the author brings up his mother’s fine cooking” or something and I remember going with something like “It showed why he frequented certain restaurants.”</p>
<p>Another question, same passage: The restaurant is exemplary? </p>
<p>^ I remember the first question to the italian restaurant & also went with the same one, although it was the last question that I worked the longest on.</p>
<p>The first one is correct; what’s the question to the second</p>
<p>Which Math section was experimental? I remember Section 2 was CR, Section 3 being math, and Section 4 was a more challenging one. I honestly don’t remember a single question from it though. </p>
<p>Ok thanks!! Also for the question about the short paragraph about the village and the morning greetings, did anyone put local leader? I chose that but it seems like I’m in the minority.</p>
<p>And there was a writing question I think #7 in the 35 Q section that had something about an actor on long-running TV shows and the underlined part was “whose episodes had suspenseful endings that kept the audiences watching” <— or something like that. I chose A which kept the sentence the same, does anyone remember what they chose?</p>
<p>Did anyone have a CR section that was about some strange fantasy writer lady with children, and asked questions that involved specific lines to provide evidence for previous questions? Was that experimental? Because I hadn’t seen questions like that before and it seemed quite hard. Also, how do you know it is experimental, does everyone get the same SAT with the sections mixed up and a different experimental section added in? </p>
<p>yeah that was definitely experimental because I didn’t have that, I had some ridiculously hard one about physicists</p>
<p>So does everyone in the US just take the same 9 sections? Plus a random experimental one, but maybe in different orders? </p>
<p>I thought talking about the problems was illegal???</p>
<p>yea for the most part guybobdude</p>
<p>@Jclare yes I put A for that writing question
@immasenior lol my proctor told us that so many times
Does anyone remember a writing question where it was between “even though he chose” and “although he had chose” I picked “even though he chase” which is correct right?</p>
<p>Do you all remember getting a question on math that said had an equation in parabolic form and said that you can convert it? It was like number 20 on the math section and I’m not sure whether is was experimental or not.</p>
