<p>
a<x<a+10</p>
<p>so</p>
<p>x has to be anywhere from a+0.0000…1 and a+9.999999…9</p>
<p>Plug in those values into the answer choices and you’d get |x-a-5|<5 as the answer between if we plug those values, we get |-4.99999|<x and |4.999999|<x which are both true. If you wanted to make sure plug in anything in between and the inequality would still be true.</p>
<p>There should be an easier way, but that method took me a few seconds.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put 144.</p>
<p>The base was a 3, 4, 5 triangle. And I assumed the other was a 5, 12, 13 one. Then, 3 * 4 * 12 = 144.</p>
<p>(I would like clarification, however. I don’t think I did that correctly.)</p>
<p>i dont understand how they score it at all then, so what score am i looking at assuming i didnt get any others wrong (which is unlikely)?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Dang! Two wrong then, if the f(ab) one was f(x)=x/4 +11. At least they were both grid-ins.</p>
<p>It’s looking like this is going to be the complete opposite of my PSAT (70/80/73). I feel very good about CR and W but am looking at low to mid 7s on math.</p>
<p>Maybe CB will be nice and give us -2=800 for the first time ever?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I got an area of 144. 3<em>4</em>12</p>
<p>if i just got 1 grid in math question wrong, about what score would i get?</p>
<p>you mean you got the function problem right rups? niceeeeeee</p>
<p>Which section was experimental (which problems did it have)?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Say you get 3 wrong. </p>
<p>You have to take away the 3 points that you did not receive, and then an additional 1 point for the “wrong answer penalty.” - So, you’ll be 4 points off perfection.</p>
<p>If just omit 3, then you only lose 3 points because you do not pay the penalty. </p>
<p>Make sense?</p>
<p>anyone have an idea on the curve?</p>
<p>@ new fish - do you mean the f(ab) one? yeah, i got 24 for that</p>
<p>^yeah ok, i understand now</p>
<p>so 4 points off perfection is 760, ignoring the curve, correct?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No idea. Go to your Math Honor Society in school tomorrow and ask how many took the SATs.</p>
<p>Come back here with your figure.</p>
<p>I know I can account for 1 from my school so far. The more, the ****tier the curve. The less, the more generous.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not exactly. It has to be converted. Using an old one from 2005, 680-740.</p>
<p>What is the f(ab) problem everyone is talking about? what section was it on, restate please</p>
<p>I think it was the last fill-in.</p>
<p>7th to front 15th from back is it 22 or 21, i put 21</p>
<p>damn, not a bright outlook for me i bet</p>
<p>hopefully, lots of people took it, like record numbers :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>21 is correct. 
She’s only one person!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Eh, don’t worry about it. There are plenty more tests. :)</p>
<p>(Hell, I’d be happy if I got over a 600.)</p>
<p>could i have answered 13.3 for the 40/3 question and recieve credit?</p>
<p>If my understanding is correct, the curves are predetermined, not based upon how well the testers do, right?</p>
