MAY 2005 SAT TEST – FORM THREE (writing experimental)

<p>I didn’t get that one.</p>

<p>I did, however, get one where there was a sequence of numbers that increased by 3 each time, and it asked what the difference between the 104th and 100th terms were.</p>

<p>It was 12, right?</p>

<p>yes it was</p>

<p>yup it was 12. but can anyone tell me when 14 was used as a fill-in and when the asnwers 2r and 2t were used?</p>

<p>Retina: 12… its a linear relationship with slope of 3.</p>

<p>14 was the PQRS on a line or something like that and PS was 38 and QR and RS were equal </p>

<p>it was the first one</p>

<p>oh no i read that one wrong i thought it was 101th ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is horrible to get taht one wrong</p>

<p>but iremembred another one for the cat and dog passage they asked waht can be inferred about the boy from the passage taht hes curious</p>

<p>altf4: it IS 0. just actually add it all up if youre not sure. 1±1+2±2… all the way to -11</p>

<p>i cannot put into words how ****ed off i am at the gridin</p>

<p>i couldve gotten the stupid parabola and apartment question correct, but when i derived the formula for the parabola i forgot to do y = ax^2 + bx + c and did x^2 + bx + c so my equation came to be -b/2
i should have just done symmetry which i wasnt sure would work
and then i didnt have enough time for the apartment question! i did the juan question though</p>

<p>so ****ed off</p>

<p>for the parabola question, i just added 7 to the x value of the vertex. Not very mathematical, but it worked.</p>

<p>when the parabola one came i got scared for a sec so i did the others so i could leave plenty of time for it. i then realized at how stupid i was being and got the answer.</p>

<p>next time fae… if u get stuck even for a sec… come back to it after uv done the others.</p>

<p>also using a stopwatch really helps. i was able to check each answer over and its especially important to check the easy ones for careless mistakes. i almost got the x=3 wrong caus i didnt look at how many point away it was from the origin so i got x=2 originally. that would have be a terrible way to screw up a potential 800.</p>

<p>symmetry from origin. wait wasn’t the answer 7 not 7+x value icedkiwis.</p>

<p>Oh right, that’s what i meant… i added 4 to the x value of (3,-2)–because the other x intercept was at (-1,0)</p>

<p>What did people get with the movies question?
If Tom goes, Laura goes. If Laura goes, Jim Goes.
What happens if Jim doesn’t go?</p>

<p>A) Tom and Laura can go
B) Laura can go
c) Nobody Can go
d) Tom can go
e)something else</p>

<p>for the analyze - date question, the other choice WAS combine - sequence</p>

<p>jimshaw, you completely changed the answer choices to that question. The answer was obvious in that question, it was choice III only (person 2 doesn’t go).</p>

<p>plmok, do you remember the exact question?</p>

<p>If Tom goes to the movies, Laura goes to the movies. If Laura goes to the movies, Joanne goes to the movies.</p>

<p>Joanne did not go to the movies.</p>

<p>Which of the following MUST be true?
I. Tom went to the movies.
II. Laura went to the movies.
III. Laura did not go to the movies.</p>

<p>I, II, III, I & II, I & III were choices.
III is correct.</p>

<p>thanks, that is obvious</p>

<p>wait what was the answer to the grid-in with the parabola that asked where the other x-intercept is?</p>

<p>7.</p>

<p>It showed you part of the parabola, with the lower x-intercept at (-1,0) and the vertex at (3,-2). Since the vertex of a parabola is on its axis of symmetry, the x-intercepts are equidistant from the axis of symmetry.</p>

<p>In other words, if 3 minus 4 gets you the first y-intercept, then 3 plus 4 gets you the other one.</p>
