December 2010 SAT Math

<p>For anyone wanting to calculate their scores</p>

<p>((54-#wrong w/penalties)*800)/54</p>

<p>dam i switched em up</p>

<p>Ok, i feel really dumb asking this but I just need confirmation. the problem #2 asking for the person between #'s 56 and 98 in line? The answer was #77 in line right?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thats not how it works</p>

<p>FL@ it seemed to work for my last 2 scores. You have any alternative?</p>

<p>was the question with a^2 + b^2 = 20 and ab = 8 an experimental question?</p>

<p>was the question with a^2 + b^2 = 20 and ab = 8 an experimental question?</p>

<p>No it was not</p>

<p>that answer was 3.5 correct?</p>

<p>FL@ it seemed to work for my last 2 scores. You have any alternative?</p>

<p>Well this would mean that every SAT is the same curve no matter which test you took which is obviously not the case although you may get a score near your score. Just look at previous curves to get the best picture.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I set it up like so…</p>

<p>a = b^2 - 1</p>

<p>Tells you one is 8 therefore…</p>

<p>a = 8^2 - 1
a = 63. OR</p>

<p>8 = a^2 - 1
9 = a^2
a = 3</p>

<p>This was a grid in which would take either answer.</p>

<p>You mentioned the MC question with t in the beginning - this wasn’t the same one. I forget exactly what the question with t was. Something with a square root and…yeah I don’t know.</p>

<p>wasnt the answer to that question 9/2?</p>

<p>Evilpanda</p>

<p>I distinctly remember getting 4.5 for that one. 36/8</p>

<p>FL@ I stated that it is without a curve. Its there to give you a rough estimate</p>

<p>@fl oh yeah ur rite. shoot xD</p>

<p>ive only found two problems ive gotten wrong on all 40 of these pages, maybe also a #2 T.T but what would my score be if I got 2-3 wrong out of answering 52?</p>

<p>can anyone compile a list for the west coast version?</p>

<p>The one with 44%, 100 + 25root3, etc</p>

<p>so lets assume some1 gets two wrong on a section. thats -2 + (-.5) for markign it wrong, for total of -2.5. Does CB round down or up?</p>

<p>the question was a^2+b^2=20 and ab=8 </p>

<p>(a+b)^2/ab
= a^2 + 2ab +b^2 / ab<br>
= a^2 + b^2 +2ab/ ab
=( 20 +16)/8
= 36/8 or 9/2</p>

<p>.5 is round up I believe^</p>

<p>daaaammniiiit :[ can any1 confirm .5 is round up?</p>
