November 2008 SAT Discussion for International Students

<p>Oh no I can’t remember wht I put in?</p>

<p>I am!</p>

<p>First Choice was 24, and as anybody would know, its not a square of any person. I chose B, 36
------Flibb</p>

<p>What question are you refering?</p>

<p>the (x+3)^2=25 one?</p>

<p>Hey Flibb do u remember any other choices</p>

<p>I’m sure there is no 36 but a 16 !</p>

<p>^^ sorry I confused it…i meant 16!</p>

<p>I just remember using the +5/-5 thing!</p>

<p>OK, I got a 16 and a 36.
and I looked through the choices to get the answer.
maybe I just got confused.</p>

<p>anyone gives another CR ques, please?
I got 800 math on october test, so I’m not worried about my math score this time,
but my CR score is only 490 :frowning: so terrible
CR, please?</p>

<p>Point is…it was either 16 or 36…</p>

<p>there was an answer 16?? I remember finding this answer but could not find in it the answer choices. So I guess you answered 36.</p>

<p>Were there any other perfect squares as options?</p>

<p>I think there was a 36</p>

<p>ccprofile Do you really think there was a 36???</p>

<p>I remembered I chose 36.
But a lot says there is only 16 no 36</p>

<p>I too remember getting a 6 and squaring it to obtain 36</p>

<p>I also remember 36…</p>

<p>But some people really confused me…i actually forgot what I did…maybe our question is wrong:D</p>

<p>If it was 36, how was it tricky then?</p>

<p>May be if we change the + sign to - sign in the question.</p>

<p>This way it was tricky and 36.</p>

<p>May be the question was
(x-3)^2=25
(x-4)^2=?</p>

<p>Yes totally agree</p>

<p>That should be correct!!!</p>
