SAT May 2012 Official Discussion

<p>Okay
Conditions given: oldest age was 20
I.3 - could be this if the median is 3 an the other two about the medianwas 3 as well
II.10 i believe, no reason why it couldnt be 10 if there is one 20 year old 10 17 year olds and the rest 1 year olds.
III. 1 20 year old the rest 17 year old, median= 17</p>

<p>All 3 work.</p>

<p>And the question asked for smallest value of j given k is an integer</p>

<p>@lpbug thx! it just seemed to easy to me haha. like a trick quesiton or something. but i guess not!</p>

<p>I remember this sentence…
By signing the registration form, all of the bakers paricipating in the cupcake recipe competition are agreeing to abide with the competition’s rules.
I put that abide with was an error because it’s usually abide by…
thoughts?</p>

<p>i could have sworn that said average not median…</p>

<p>@glenngould- that was in the writing experimental section</p>

<p>I think it was a sentence correcting one. Anyways, would that sentence be no error?</p>

<p>so was it zero or 1/6…</p>

<p>for the one about which didnt fold up to make a cube, did anyone choose the one that looked most rectangular</p>

<p>I chose D which was the one with the zig zag I believe.</p>

<p>yes it would be…</p>

<p>Who else got However for Cheetah? I probably spent 3 minutes deciding.</p>

<p>******** Question though</p>

<p>@hellosir</p>

<p>it cannot be 0 because you can rewrite the equation in terms of j=(1+k^2)/6
the minimum value for j would be 1/6 because the least k^2 can be is 0. if k^2 is any greater-- say, k=1,the fraction would then become 1/3, which is greater than 1/6 and therefore not the smallest j can be.</p>

<p>can anyone confirm the answer to the math question about which didnt fold to make a cube please?</p>

<p>the zigzag makes it a cube…obvi…</p>

<p>@ daro</p>

<p>If you picked that you are wrong. The problem with that choice is that it is a comma splice. If there were a semi-colon before the “however” it would work. Besides, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the “but” option.</p>

<p>Edit for Supine- I got a 2220 on my first SAT in January.</p>

<p>I think we should start posting our usual SAT practice scores so we don’t take advice from strangers who may not be qualified.</p>

<p>With that said, please tell me the section with the buffalo vocab (stolid) was experimental.</p>

<p>I don’t know why people are having such a hard time with the cube one, i just visualized each one in my head and found that the one (C i believe) with 3 in the middle 1 on top and 2 on bottom to be the answer.</p>

<p>so the cube one was the one that looked most rectangular?</p>

<p>trying to confirm the cube question is ■■■■■■■■ how can you describe the correct one. you either visualized it or you didn’t. it was the one with two boxes next to each other below the start box…?</p>
