Math for March SAT 2009

<p>What about the one where it was like a cube with 1 cm3 sides but has a trianglular prism cut out of it? Was that one experimental???</p>

<p>Missing 1 on fill ins = same points loss as if you skipped a question on MC right?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You can count on it. It was fill in, so they have to know there is some ambiguity in the responses, especially when it has a fraction.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I believe it is based on the takers. I always thought the SAT was a bell curve. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes. I like to consider fill in as a bonus. You can get up to ten points, however, if you get it wrong, you don’t lose any. Just lose the shot at “perfection.”</p>

<p>50freefly, yes.</p>

<p>really monoclide, you sounded like you got nearly all of them right to me?</p>

<p>and is it true the curve is predetermined?</p>

<p>For the grid-ins, I remember getting 5000, 40/3, 160 (Tank).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes. 10char</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I got one or two wrong. And then I skipped like three. :x I didn’t do so hot. </p>

<p>On a practice one I did the other day, I scored in the 600s. Nailed all the easy and mediums, just was iffy on the hards.</p>

<p>For the rectangle question which was 144 i can’t remember the number i picked but i can remember the letter choice, anyone remember the letter choice it was?</p>

<p>I said 22 for the 15th to 7th person in a line</p>

<p>wait, can you study for SATs? aside from learning vocab and stuff, i thought it was an aptitude test :x</p>

<p>you serious strat, i think i said 21, damnit</p>

<p>I think I just missed the function problem. This is weird, because normally I suxxor at math and rock the CR… looks like it’s opposite this time. </p>

<p>-1 is like 78 right?</p>

<p>About how many can you get wrong and get 700+?</p>

<p>It was 21. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15(7) 6 5 4 3 2 1</p>

<p>i got 21 for the person line one…u have to subtract one after adding</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Definitely. They use the same general math topics for all the tests. Just the questions vary. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ignore the 7th for instance. There are 15 people in line. You are the 15th.
Then take another line. 7 people. You are 7th. </p>

<p>That totals 22, yes. But, then you need to factor in that you counted yourself twice. Remove one. 21 people were in line.</p>

<p>***** my life. i put 22</p>

<p>Students in math and science question…</p>

<p>can’t remember exactly what I put, does someone remember exactly what the question asked? I remember it used the word “or” but I am not sure why I misread it…</p>

<p>

Yeah, you can study for it…it’s not like they’re going to introduce new concepts every testing date.</p>

<p>so it is 21? alright great, i was sure i got that one right, i drew it out and everything</p>

<p>i do remember getting 5000 as an answr as well, but i forget the Q</p>

<p>i know that driscool, but it’s stuff covered that you learned in 9th grade and all</p>

<p>soo i got 40/3, but i got the answer differentlyy
given to us was the ratio of the areas = 3/4 so i changed that to 15/20
and heigh of top triangle was 10
first i solved for the common side they had</p>

<p>ill do area of the top triangle = A1
area of the bottom triangle = A2</p>

<p>A1 = 15 = .5<em>b</em>h = .5b(10) = 5b
b=3</p>

<p>A2 = 20 = .5<em>3</em>h
40 = 3h
h = 40/3</p>
