@lilypippili damn misread. I thought it said to find the area of the whole shape. Not the square only. I ended up doing 21+sqrt21. I should’ve recognized something was wrong
@Chrysanthemum14 what did they say?
PRESS RELEASE: https://lp.collegeboard.org/information-regarding-the-saturday-june-6-sat-administration
Information Regarding the Saturday, June 6, SAT Administration
Shortly before noon Eastern Time on Saturday, June 6, Educational Testing Service (ETS) informed the College Board that there was a printing error in the standard test books they provided to students taking the SAT on June 6 in the United States. The time allotted for a specific section, either section 8 or 9 depending on the edition, was incorrect in the student test books and correct in the script and manual provided to Test Center Supervisors. The student test books contained “25 minutes” while the manual and script contained the correct time limit of “20 minutes.” As soon as ETS became aware of the error during the administration of the test, they worked to provide accurate guidance to supervisors and administrators.
The College Board understands the critical nature of this issue, and we are actively working to determine next steps to ensure the fairness of the test and the validity of the scores we deliver. We regret the confusion and concern this issue is causing for students and their families, and we will provide them and others with updated information as soon as possible. Please check back here for updates.
alright, atleast we know theyre doing something
So they will deliver scores? Hope so…
I wonder what they’re going to do…
What did you guys put for the meaning of “play” in one of the passages?
Wait, did they ask the area of the square or the whole shape? I put 26 because I thought it was entire shape .___. …
I thought it was just the area of the square.
@lilypippili
Thanks. I remember doing sqrt 21 x sqrt 21 :D, that’s all
I’m pretty sure it was just the area of the square. I rechecked that one quite a few times
It was just the area of the square? Oh noooo…
I swear I would do at least 20 points better on these things if I read more carefully.
This current one you guys are talking about was a grid-in or MC?
@Newdle me too
@Chrysanthemum14 Grid in.
I want to say it was a grid in, but I’m not 100%
@Newdle
There is no way the area of the whole thing could have been 26. It’s actually 25.5825 and it said nothing about rounding to the nearest whole number or tenth place.
So it definitely asked for the area of the square only.
Why wouldn’t the whole thing be 26…? One side of square is rad21. Square is 21 units squared. Triangle is base times height time .5, which is 5… That is 21+5… You seem to be really adamant about your answers .____.
@Qwerty568 I’m in the same group. We have to be more careful next time.
