<p>Did you guys see the Question of the Day?</p>
<p>**If the graph of the function f is a line with slope 2, which of the following could be the equation of f?</p>
<p>a. f(x) = 4x + 2
b. f(x) = 2x + 4
c. f(x) = -2x - 2
d. f(x) = x/2 + 2
e. f(x) = x/2 + 1/2
**</p>
<p>Of course the answer is B. They call this a "Medium" question.
Now maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think anything this easy would ever appear on a real SAT as a "Medium" question, only as an "Easy" question, if at all. Are they trying to make it seem like the test is easier than it is? Hoping we'll let our guard down?</p>
<p>Won't happen ;-)</p>
<p>I think this question might be one of the first questions you see in a math section, but it certainly isn't "medium." I mean, I'm sure quite a few middle schoolers could tell you the answer to that. </p>
<p>It's all a conspiracy I tell ya! <em>crazy fist shaking</em></p>
<p>Only reinforces my point: "The SAT Question of the Day questions seem to be much easier than the real test" - maybe not in this case but the level of difficulty is extremely skewed.</p>
<p>"Are they trying to make it seem like the test is easier than it is? Hoping we'll let our guard down?"</p>
<p>haha..you don't really believe that, do you?</p>
<p>i think all questions with functions or algebra2/trig are considered medium/hard.. </p>
<p>not sure</p>
<p>Trig is not tested on the SAT.</p>
<p>For that matter, and I am digressing, do you guys honestly think Algebra II is on it too? I mean absolute value and exponents aren't really the meat of algebra II in my opinion. There aren't logarithms or anything on the SAT. Maybe I just had a more thorough Algebra I class than CB expects?</p>
<p>Haha. I was thinking of making a thread about this to. That question is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Technically, functions are a part of elementary algebra II. I think CB just said algebra II to make the UC's and all those other rebellious universities happy :P.</p>
