what was the assumption in gulf stream ben franklin passage? is it that mail people didnt listen to the advice?
Did anyone order the Student-Answer-Service for this SAT? And did anyone order it for past SATS? If so, what is it like?
hey so for the car question i put .9^t, but i talked to my dad and its supposed to be 1-.1t, since thats the actual formula for simple interest. ugh, was expecting an 800 but i guess that ruined it 
Nah I’m pretty sure that it’s (1-.1)^t which is just the same thing as .9^t ( http://mathematicsi.com/depreciation/ ) so your 800’s fine
No in the question it says that every year the cars value deprecates by 10% its original value, if the initial value is 1000 find a formula that expresses this. p=1000, so the formula has to be p(0.9)^t. They never said P was the new value they just said it was the initial value.
can also back up it was .9^t
When it is asking of the previous year, it will always be exponential. If it was asking returns on the car it would be simple interest.
Writing questions I still have:
For the buildings one is it no error (what I put) or constructed with?
For the minerals one is it A (the to have or as having) or is it D (such minerals as)?
For the one about the actor is it no error or D(did theirs)?
For the last one in the section is it students need to use more resources or listen to their teachers advice?
Sorry, I should have clarified that I was just talking about the last part of the equation (aka just the part with the whatever^t). So yeah the whole thing would be multiplied by the initial value.
what exactly was the wording for the tomato question?
@mrmaster198 I said such minerals, no error on actor one, and use more resources. I got a 780 on the Jan SAT with 80 MC in writing, but I though this SAT was harder so I am not 100% sure.
@pinodyne That’s what I put, because the first said something about how mail ship captains continued to sail against the current and the second passage said something about how only fools or mail ship captains ignored the advice
I just want to say you guys are so smart with the 800’s TT^TT
Did yoy get a writing section about ants and spiders?
@Csikszentmihalyi – The Student Answer Service covers each section of the test, and question by question states whether you answered the question correctly (or incorrectly or omitted), the difficulty level (1 to 5), and the “Type of Question” (e.g., for CR it’s either C for sentence completion or R for passage-based reading).
Hope that helps.
@central275 no I didn’t
Did anyone here get an experimental math section with a girl doing sit ups ?
also, saburo passage if you haven’t found it yet http://www.missourireview.com/archives/bbarticle/rationing/
What answer did you guys put for this one: “Eight hundred meters,” Saburo said. He would have preferred a long-distance event, which commanded the most respect. But he had watched those runners stagger toward the finish line, eyes rolling back in their heads, some even vomiting in the grass afterward-and he had been afraid. Sprints came next in popularity, but Saburo was not particularly fast. Two laps around the track seemed the most appropriate distance." indicates blabla…
I put something like conflicted about his choice.
@ShutYourMouth so this does conclude that he was unattentive and the mother was delightful! (or does it?)
