October 2011 SAT General Discussion

<p>@Sheep…
I think it was as it is? “and now museum”, I think? B was “and now as a museum”? I’m not 100% sure.</p>

<p>@Inlumine,</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Do you remember what choice (A) was like for that one? Many thanks.</p>

<p>^Probably experimental. dont remember having that one…</p>

<p>definitely wasn’t experimental because I had that question, and I had math experimental</p>

<p>@sheep That WAS choice A, which was the correct answer.
Choice B is the same wording/phrasing EXCEPT it included ‘is’ before now</p>

<p>So the answer would be (A) right? Because it would have to be parallel.</p>

<p>Wasn’t there a question like "larger hospitals provide services better than (do smaller) hopitals?</p>

<p>what did u guys get on the last fill in</p>

<p>I got 3600</p>

<p>I think <strong>than do</strong> smaller hospitals is correct even though it sounds weird because otherwise there would be a parallelism error</p>

<p>how was it 3600, wasnt it asking for the smallest value of n where n is divisible by 24 and 10</p>

<p>yes, but n = k^2 and k and n had to be an integers, so sqrt of n had to be an integer too</p>

<p>probably the most tedious problem on the whole test though</p>

<p>I never got that grid in one. I was putting every number in the calculator too and hoping it had an integer square root. So frustrating
How/ can you solve it algebraically? </p>

<p>CR: harder than usual
Math: normal to me
writing: average to easy</p>

<p>There is no way, just plug in numbers on the calculator. Its just a Hell problem.</p>

<p>That’s BS, once i was getting to the 1000s i thought i missed it, so i re-did everything which wasted time.</p>

<p>yup. i spent a total of about 25 mins (consisting mostly of time after CR and writing sections) figuring it out, and since they dont allow calculators out for that time, i had to do it all mentally which was jail.</p>

<p>What did you guys put for the question in the CR Art passage that asked us to compare the “Great human capability”, options were like Learning to play violin and other instrument, father teaching rude boys, lawyer learning from experience etc. Anyone?</p>

<p>I put lawyer learning from experience</p>

<p>There is an easy way to solve the 3600 one. If a number is divisible by 10 it must end with a 0. It asked that it was the square of an integer, so just use 10,20,30… as values for k and find the first n value divisible by 24.</p>
