May 2013 SAT Discussion Thread

<p>was “research fundings” the experimental for CR?</p>

<p>I remember it being two functions, a parabola [g(p)] and a line [g(x)]. The question asked how many times g(p)=2.</p>

<p>there was one grammar question that had “may have been”…was it supposed to be “might have been?”</p>

<p>I’m aiming for a 2300+. </p>

<p>Estimate my score?</p>

<p>Math: All right
CR: 2 to 4 wrong
Writing: 1 to 2 wrong, 8-10 on essay</p>

People can speculate and stuff, but I know this for sure…
one of the sections with 8 vocab is experiemental… BECAUSE on all my practice SATS I have ever taken there has never been 2 CR’s with 8 vocab…</p>

<p>Now I don’t know if the research fundings was part of the one’s with 8 vocab questions in it…</p>

<p>@ petsounds</p>

<p>The entire function was g(x) I believe, and they wanted you to find out how many values of ‘p’ there were such that g(p) = 2.</p>

<p>Yeah, I got three on the function one too. I’m dumb when it comes to math, but I looked at the graph, and there were three points on the function that equalled 2.</p>

<p>Also the 36 tables question which was a grid in… Wasn’t it…
9 x 6 = 54
18 x 4 = 72</p>

<p>72 + 54 = 126
So was 126 was the answer?</p>

<p>Damn, the answer is probably three then. I just remember a “g(x)” annotation with an arrow pointing in the middle the straight line as opposed to the entire function. Would make more sense if it was just one piecewise function though.</p>

<p>The only ‘no error’ ones I remember were the question that had “its president” as a choice (which I got wrong), the Sherman Antitrust Act one, and the one with the Japanese guy and his movie.</p>

<p>And it was 120 people for the table question. 12 4-people configurations and 12 6-people configurations.</p>

<p>@oldschoolboy</p>

<p>No, it was 120. 18 + 9 doesn’t equal 36.</p>

<p>Dammit, so like 5-6 wrong in math is usually 670-690 right?</p>

<p>yes, schoolboy</p>

<p>Okay, so there was a CR vocab #8 question with sacrosanct in it… did anyone put that as the answer?</p>

<p>anyone know the “may” vs. “might” question in Grammar?</p>

<p>sacrosanct was not it; it was arcane.</p>

<p>@oldschoolboy I think it was arcane.</p>

<p>For the table one, I believe I put down 126. 18+9 doesn’t equal 36, but you need to remember that the 9 tables were actually two tables put together. So it was 18+9(2) which does equal 36.</p>

<p>@ marshmallowpop</p>

<p>It wasn’t the number of tables that had to be equal. It said that the number of 4-person and 6-person configurations had to be equal.</p>

<p>@marshmellowpop The only problem with your solution is that they said that there were an equal number of 4 people tables and 6 people tables.</p>
