<p>o maybe we had a diff form?
im pretty sure it was x=8 though
if it was x=0 it would just be 3 intersecting lines</p>
<p>The answer is 12!!</p>
<p>yeah i think the triangle area was 12</p>
<p>i know im explaining why</p>
<p>English- easy
Math- easy
Reading- hard
science- super easy
Essay- super hard!</p>
<p>I went more along the lines of:</p>
<p>English - Easier than Average
Math - Very Slightly Harder than Average
Reading - Average
Science - Harder than Average
Essay - Easier than Average</p>
<p>Relatively pleased with that test. I did basically no study so I’m glad that English, Math and Reading were super easy (36 hopefully all 3). Also wrote a terrific essay (I have to thank SparkNotes for that).</p>
<p>But I died in Science and I deserved to die. I didn’t study for it and had no idea of time management, pressure or expectation. Probably got a fair few wrong. With a nice curve anything is possible though (except 36) as I definitely put ‘muscle’ instead of ‘sperm’. I thought it’d be sperm through outside knowledge but wasn’t sure and went with ‘muscle’ on a whim. </p>
<p>Whatever - seeing how much some of you lot studied, I hope you guys do great. Y’all need to chilll though. Its a saturday and some of you tried looking up the passages for the reading? haha, good luck to you guys but whats done is done. </p>
<p>For the diagonals/tents/camps one there is a formula for diagonals to n-gons. Its: </p>
<p>(n(n-3))/2 So (10(7))/2 = 45. </p>
<p>So glad I remembered that as I haven’t taken pre-calc for like 3 years. Also another way to do it is by noticing a pattern. Each n-gon’s number of diagonals increase by the previous number. So a 10 sided gon increased by 9, a 11 sided by 10 etc. You could have noticed that on the test. </p>
<p>Science was a rough one for me by far. Also lots of pressure as I knew I ‘killed’ all the others so if I finished this I’d be done with all SAT/ACT stuff (except SAT IIs :P) by the start of junior year. Good luck to you all but I’m going to a party tonight to celebrate (and mourn the start of school :p) and not look at this forum until results come out !</p>
<p>Oh and the hiking one was 100 too! Sorry if these have already been cleared, I only randomly checked a couple pages (mostly for reassurance on Science).</p>
<p>I think the formula is (n(n+1))/2 but it’s still 45. Any way to avoid myself from checking this site until results come out?</p>
<p>I thought:
English - Easy
Math - Easy, except for some of those last questions of course
Reading - Ridiculously hard.
Science - Fair
Essay - A little bit of a challenge, but do-able.</p>
<p>crap! 10 cabins??? I must have misread because I though it was 6 cabins, and solved for that!!!..ughhhhh</p>
<p>On the cabins question. I just noticed that any single cabin had one path less than the total number of cabins. And going in order around the circle, each adjacent cabin had one less unique path that was not share by the ones before it. So I just figured: 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45</p>
<p>For the hiking passes sold, i put 300. It said that there were 1 type, 2 type, and 3 type passes sold, and all those that put 100 haven’t mentioned anything about the 3 type passes?</p>
<p>English-Easy
Math-Not hard, objectively speaking, but a complete shock after doing the red book. Red book was not NEARLY as difficult, I got a 34 average on those without any effort. On this one though, I’ve gotten at LEAST 2-3 wrong outright. It’s depressing…
Reading-Meh, it was ok. A bit harder than red book.
Science-Probably average. I didn’t practice science much and that will probably lead to my downfall. And the practice I did do was untimed…might have gotten majorly scraped. Ironic since I’ve aced/curved nearly every test in the AP classes corresponing to the subject areas…that’s what I get for being lax.</p>
<p>I’m not expecting a great score. I just didn’t put in the effort haha…except in English, and that apparently paid off.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s one way, or you could interpret this a combination problem that asks how many different ways 10 items (cabins) can be paired (linked by a path). 10 nCr 2 = 45.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>1000 hiking permits
700 biking permits
200 canoeing permits</p>
<p>To minimize the number of hiking-only permits, we need to maximize the number of non-hiking-only permits.</p>
<p>Say 700 hiking and 700 biking permits are sold together. 200 canoeing and 200 hiking permits are sold together. Then 1000 - 700 - 200 = 100, the remaining hiking-only permits.</p>
<p>jamesford: what about the type 3 ones? of hiking+biking+canoeing?</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter because you only need to be concerned with hiking. 3 way tickets make no difference.</p>
<p>would -2 on math still get me at least a 35?</p>
<p>idk maybe not, i got -2 at least, i hope it’d be a 35</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The question said that a person had the OPTION of buying 3 different permits. There was no obligation to do so.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the writing one that was like blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah-
and it was no change or change - to ,
I put change to ,
Is that right?</p>
