2013 OCT SAT1 Discussion (Math)

<p>for the question regarding ABCD, correct answer is all 3. I don’t recall the exact measurements so I can’t give a good explanation but just list them in order. A, B , C , D. If you put C to the left of B, D can then move <distance between="" c="" and="" b=""> closer to A. This is an easy question, just need some visualization.</distance></p>

<p>What about the one with circles?</p>

<p>Last question with the 4 digit thing/2 rules. P^2 < 6 R^2 < 15 (something like that but it doesn’t matter)
P must be an integer less than sqrt(6) which makes 1, 2
R must be an interger less than sqrt(15) which makes 1,2,3
Possible values of P + R = 1 + 1 = 2
1+ 2 = 3
2 + 2 = 4 (or 3 + 1, doesn’t matter)
2+3 = 5 (3+ 2)
2,3,4,5 is 4 values
answer is 4.</p>

<p>@kelvinheree
measurements were BC=3,AB=5,CD=7</p>

<p>I believe I sent you an email because I don’t have enough posts to private message. Never tried this because well… i don’t expect it to help.
But I’m procrastinating so I’m here giving math explanations ._.</p>

<p>Oh,
A B = 5
C between AB is possible because A C B works, AC = 2, BC = 3, AB = 5
D between AB is possible because A D B C works, AD = 1, DB = 4, BC = 3
Don’t remember the 2nd case but I’m sure it works.</p>

<p>Ugh I have taken the sat twice and missed one math question both times for a 770 and 760. Thought I had the 800 but I misread the circle question and put 25/9 :(</p>

<p>II don’t remember triangle = 19 on the grid in. Can somebody clarify??</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me the answer to the student with 76 points on the test?
Still the only one i don’t know for sure.
16 4 point algebra questions and 12 3point geometry questions. If there was no partial credit How many questions did this student miss?
a)7
b)8
c)13
d)14
e)24</p>

<p>Answer is 7.
Im about to sleep so I wont go into the explanations but its 4 questions wrong for the 3 pts, 3 for the 4 points. Thats 24 points lost, which equals the 76.</p>

<p>Like a lot of other people, I missed the question with the circle and put 25/9.
This is my first official SAT and I was hoping to get an 800 on math to impress colleges. So far, the only question I’ve confirmed that I missed was the circle question and I think I did fairly well on my writing and critical reading. On the other hand, I totally bombed the essay because it was a prompt that I had not prepared for prior. I wrote about the National Security Agency with the limited knowledge I knew about it, and my analysis was not deep at all. I did fill out the two pages completely, but that would probably be the best part about my essay. </p>

<p>Getting an 800 in math is really important to me, but I heard that this math section is going to be curved high since it is really easy, meaning that I would get a ~760 on my math score. All factors considered, do you guys think I should cancel and try another chance at an 800 on math?</p>

<p>If you guys are talking about the international test, I took it and don’t recall anything about the 25/9 stuff you guys are talking about, so it might’ve been the experimental.</p>

<p>No International has a different form/test</p>

<p>Sorry, I think I posted in the wrong thread. My question was on the US test.</p>

<p>What’s the question w/ the parallel lines l & k?</p>

<p>24 points! Cuz the average would be 17</p>

<p>Was the salad sandwich question, a hard question? Like was that one of the last two questions in the end???</p>

<p>I think I got 2 multiple choice wrong as well as 1 grid in…what is my possible SAT score with a good or bad curve?</p>

<p>For the circle question, 64/9 is right (or 7.11) BUT did it anywhere say, either in the question or near the diagram, that the figure was NOT drawn to scale? If it did then 64/9 is the answer but if not it will be thrown out as you could have then arrived at 100/9 so 11.1</p>

<p>@jlee picture on the sat is never drawn to scale</p>
