SAT May 2012 Official Discussion

<p>@supine, yes it was stolid, which can mean dependable</p>

<p>For the one where the mean was age 17, it was only I and II because it said mean not median so the third one could not work</p>

<p>yes the cube looked most rectangular. supine don’t be an elitist…anyone can say what they think provided they explain why. (btw I’m pretty sure the buffalo one was not expiremental. i put stolid too but I’m certain the correct answer is laconic.</p>

<p>Is it me or was the Cube one really easy>there was one choice that had less boxes than the other…</p>

<p>@Alvin, it said median. Thanks @bear.</p>

<p>@alvin
im pretty sure it said median and not mean, i looked at that problem for a long time. can anyone confirm?</p>

<p>@bear111 no it was not stolid. i put stolid but laconic means sociable…a better answer given the context</p>

<p>@hellosir
laconic was the answer for another question, and i dont think it means sociable? besides, it was supposed to be the opposite of sociable. it was like: although they travel in groups, when they are alone they are actually ______</p>

<p>@alvin
i am sure that it said median not mean</p>

<p>@hellosir, laconic means concise or terse. it was the correct answer for the one about moon exploration.</p>

<p>lol u guys r right sorry !! i was confusing questions</p>

<p>Are you guys sure because I spent a good amount of time on that problem and I’m pretty sure it said mean</p>

<p>For the 1-75 question. I think it was 25 and 50 guys.</p>

<p>no I believe it said mean, so III could not work. </p>

<p>Thanks Alvin!! Finally someone who agrees with me!</p>

<p>@alvin
im like 100% sure it was median</p>

<p>wait why is laconic correct? didn’t it say “on the contrary”?</p>

<p>@divy
it was the pair that added up to 76.</p>

<p>To anyone who had three writing sections, does anyone know if the first or second one of 35 questions was experimental</p>

<p>20 + 50 = 75. The number had to equal 76. Trust me.</p>

<p>@daro
the answer was the one that had 6 faces, the problem was that the faces overlap. I’m not sure if you counted all the faces correctly… Here’s a drawing (attempt) of the answer I chose.
<strong><em>|–|</em></strong>___
<strong><em>|–||–||–|</em></strong>_
_<strong><em>|–|</em></strong>|–|_____</p>

<p>If you fold that up and have the center square as the one on the bottom, you would not have a top. I didn’t even bother counting the faces, I just visualized it. </p>
