<p>Okay so I might’ve been going crazy on my last math section…did anyone else have a problem with the question that asked for you to choose the number that disproved the statement that any number that is a multiple of 12 is also a multiple of 8 and 4. I know that the answer was 36 but that wasn’t an option. The five choices were 12,24,32,40,and 60. 32 and 40 are not even multiples of 12 so i was really confused as to which I should choose. I ended up picking 32 since I assumed that it might just be a typo and they acutally meant it to be 36. Did anyone else notice this???</p>
<p>PrettyinPink1078 it was 60… 60/12 is 5 and 60/8 is 7.5</p>
<p>Oh crap. I put 32!!!</p>
<p>I had NO idea how to do the one with the triangle inside the circle and you had to find the length of one side… left that one blank.</p>
<p>all i gotta say is that deciding to take physics and trig this year was the best decision i made, it helped me so much with most of the problems</p>
<p>hey… if i omitted 7 (i know i know i know ughhh) on math, where do you think that would put me with the curve?</p>
<p>good luck everyone! :)</p>
<p>Ambition: omitting 7 (and assuming you missed none) I would guess in the low-mid 600s. But that’s only if the rest are perfect. The more you miss in math, comparatively to CR, the lower the score because it is easier than CR and people tend to score higher.</p>
<p>Giftedgothic: simple geometry… The answer was radical 48 = 4 x radical3.</p>
<p>aaaah sldfjslefij noo! my parents arent making me retake if i can break a 700 in math!
hha im abnormal, math is the hardest for me & W are so easy, i hate that that doesn’t work in my favor. thanks though :(</p>
<p>“Giftedgothic: simple geometry… The answer was radical 48 = 4 x radical3.”</p>
<p>I wrote that too. but when I did Cos of 60 degrees (the hypothenuse was 4)
but then the radius ITSELF is 4 (and there was an extension part)</p>
<p>I almost put 8?</p>
<p>I feel like my being advanced in math (AP Calc) came back to rape me on the math section since it’s been so long since I took geometry. Some types of questions I distinctly remember knowing how to do a couple years ago, but unfortunately I couldn’t answer them today. I slapped writing in the face, and did as I expected on reading. I’m disappointed in my performance on math though, it’s really bugging me. Why couldn’t they ask me to take the derivative of something?</p>

<p>ugh, sophiebliss. this is COMPLETELY wrong. the curve is PREDETERMINED. you think people on this site would know this by now by look through threads. i’ve said it before and i’ll probably wind up saying it again - just because the bottom half of your class will be taking the test on a given day, does not mean you will score higher.</p>
<p>I actually thought that this SAT was easier than the one in January (though that may be because I totally BS’d january one and didn’t prepare at all). I ended up with 2130 then, and expect to do better on this one, especially in the math.
Did anyone get the math problem that went like:
f(ab) = f(a) + f(b), f(4)=12, f(16)=?
I had no idea was it was asking, so I left it blank.</p>
<p>i think that one was (e) 54</p>
<p>because the function was multiply 3</p>
<p>Then, what is the whole f(ab)=f(a) + f(b) thing supposed to mean?
I guess what I’m asking is: does f(4) apply to f(a), f(b), or f(ab)? </p>
<p>I just had an idea: the only numbers which add and multiply to the same product are 2 and 2, right? so, f(2x2)=f(4), so f(4) = f(2) + f(2) = 12, which means f(x)=3x, since each f(x) has to produce 6. And that would make f(16) = f(4x4) = f(4) + f(4) = 3(4) + 3(4) = 12+12 = 24, which was answer C or something. That’s the answer my friend got when she did it.</p>
<p>Stephenn:
Did I ever say that it wasn’t predetermined?..I know that if the bottom half of your class is taking it, you will not score higher</p>
<p>I was trying to say that if you take a harder test, you wont necessarily get a lower score. It depends on how students did on that problem and how ets classified it.</p>
<p>Same here. I thought the essay was decent. The first few sections in general were pretty easy. And then gradually it became harder and harder and soon I had no idea what was going on! I thought the first paragraph of the passage about the engineer was about God. lol. I think I sort of figured it out in the end, though.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I struggled on that one for a bit.</p>
<p>but I think overall the answer was 0 because 5^ab can’t equal 0 if you think about it. 5^0-1, however, so that choice was gone.</p>
<p>lmao prettyinpink! i can totally relate, i was stuck on that question for 5 min and even started to think that the SAT writers made the question wrong! i finally realized that i should just eliminate 32 and 40 b/c they’re not multiples. and then i divided 60 by 8 and viola! but seriously, that test is so draining you can’t think straight</p>
<p>I love how Louise Erdrich was in one of the questions… My English teacher would be proud.
Anyway, around when do you get your results back? Mayish?</p>
<p>They’ll be online ~3 weeks.
In response to the above math problem, yes it was 24
f(4)= 12
f(16)=f(4x4)=f(4) + f(4) = 12+12=24</p>
