<p>november will be my last one… hopefully //</p>
<p>wish I didn’t eff up math. could of been expecting somewhere in the 1900’s
</p>
<p>lol guys this is gonna sound SO weird but i feel like after this is over, i’m gonna miss stuff about it. i mean i hate the stress and everything but coming on here and talking to you guys and anticipating scores and the whole thing is like a game and it’s kinda exciting and wow i sound like a loser over here on a sat night…</p>
<p>Same for me to be honest. I’ve even dreamed about the SAT LOL</p>
<p>like i’m not even asian but getting a low score will dishonor my family lol</p>
<p>I need a 2200 but idk… at least I think I didn’t totally mess up and I got 2100+ on my practice tests so I’m just praying for at least that</p>
<p>yeah i know i am aiming for 2200 but secretly i’d be okay with like a decent 2100</p>
<p>but seriously i’m so done with this test idc if i get a 1500 LOL i am not taking it again</p>
<p>lol I dreamed about it too hahaha so weird</p>
<p>Now the last minute panic is setting in and I’m convinced I miss-bubbled everything :’(</p>
<p>ETS sent me a letter about that median question. The answer was E ( less than or equal to 96) and they explained it. </p>
<p>what exactly did the email say (of course if there was a proper answer, the answer would be E)</p>
<p>UGH i could have easily gotten 800 in math the only questions i got wrong were 2 stupid ones and the median one which i left blank just because i thought there could not be an equal sign</p>
<p>They sent me a very formal letter that said:
Dear —,
We have received your inquiry concerning a mathematics question that appeared in the SAT that was administered on October 11, 2014. We have reexamined this question and find that there is only one correct answer included among the choices given, and that the correct answer is listed as choice E. A copt of the question is enclosed for your reference.
If the integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, then m=6. Therefore the median can be an integer.
The greatest possible value of m occurs when the integers are 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 100. In this case m=95.5. Since 95.5 is less than or equal to 96, it must be true that for any collection of 10 integers between 1 and 100 inclusive, that the median m of the integers is less than or equal to 95.5, and therefore less than or equal to 96.</p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy Just try to remember that you did the best you could at the time and there’s no way to change anything now. At least you didn’t put 12pi for the semicircle question like me lol </p>
<p>WOW ok ETS cool </p>
<p>@mystic7 thats true at the time it was different now it feels easy to say"WOW i can’t believe i did that" but in testing conditions, it makes sense.</p>
<p>@dhizzy “If the integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, then m=6.” Did they really give those as the example? Aren’t there supposed to be 10 integers, not 11?</p>
<p>Maybe you meant to omit 6?</p>
<p>Yeah. I don’t care anymore. It’s one question. I can’t fight the system.</p>
<p>haha yeah, hindsight bias definitely takes place here. I was sweating and shaking and felt like crying during the test, but I got through it and probably got a halfway decent score, even if it’s not 2400. I’m proud of myself for that if nothing else.</p>
