Why is the connect the dots one 28?

Predict my score
Cr -6
M -6
W -3 w/ 8 essay

OR

Cr -3
M -3
W -0 w/ 10 essay

@josjdfsau‌ The connecting dots: there are 8 dots. Each dot will link with 7 other dots, so with 8 dots we will have 7 x 8 =56 lines connecting them. However, because every line is repeated once, ex: Line 1 connects with line 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, then line 2 connects with line 1 ( again), 3, 4,5,6,7,8, same goes for the rest, so we need to divide that number by 2 to get 28. That’s how I solved it.

Yes, but the question on the test didn’t say “distinct” connections which would imply that a connection made from1 to 2 would be known as different than 2 to 1 right?

Guys what do you think 5 omit and 1 wrong is in math?

@nangkhieu‌ what do you think 5 omit and 1 wrong is for this test is math??

@needmoretime12‌ According to the page College panda SAT score calculator, it’s around 690-700. Sorry this is the first time I’ve taken SAT so I’m not familiar with the scoring curves either. Compared with previous tests, I think this one is slightly harder ( the Math sections ) so hopefully the curve won’t be too harsh.

@nangkhieu‌ do you remember a question about a sequence and the answer was 11 too. This was the esasy question in the beginning. It was the 11th term?

This is not the question where thw answer was 11.

for the grid in where it said like the area of a triangle is 4 and two vertices are 5,6 and 5,8, what is a possible value of the x value for the other vertices. Was it either 1 or 9?

@emersonballer21‌ yeah either 1 or 9 because xy = 4 x2 = 8, and we know y is 2, so x must be 4. 5-4 =1 or 5+4=9
@needmoretime12‌ Is it the one that asks what term is 35 or sth :-? I don’t remember the exact sequence, does it start with 2 (or 5?), and the difference between every term is 3?

@nangkhieu‌ yes

@needmoretime12‌ Tbh I don’t remember the correct answer, I just has the impression that it was choice C. Did the sequence start with 2 or 5? If it starts with 2 then the answer is 12 but if it starts with 5 then it’s 11.
2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35

Can someone fully confirm what the question for the median, mean, mode was? Some people say it had 10 elements after adding 5.1 and 5.1, but others say it had 11. Anyone remember?

Can anyone please tell me if the answer for the trapezoid question had an answer of five as an option? Pretty Please

@CCmember2015‌ i think it went like this a) 3 b) 3.5 c) 4 d) 4.5 e) 5

also whats the answer to the stamp passage question that has been debated

@collegenow111‌ for math I wud say the difficultly was average as well. So maybe 800 780 760 740 720 700

And writing (assuming 11 essay)
800 800 780 760 and so on

was it absurd or ridicule the outcome

@Redragonxii‌ i highly doubt the math curves will be that nice. I was thinking 800 770 750 720 700

Alright my best case scenario is a 2230, my worst case scenario is a 2100. Most probably i’ll get a 2150-2170…dang it i’m going to have to retake it in march :frowning:
