December 2010 SAT Math

<p>hey so anyone know what a raw score of 51 will be?</p>

<p>So far the rectangular question, the answer u guys said was 1320</p>

<p>but couldnt it also be 6600 = 60 x 2 x 55</p>

<p>I am not sure if it asked for one possible value or the least value? Help pl0x?</p>

<p>[AGAIN]anyone can answer my question: which one is the one with 3/5 grid in, about probability to choose student or something from a chart OR repost a list of all grid-ins
Thank you very much</p>

<p>@samarth30, were the areas 120 and 110!?!?!
i thought it was 120 and 100?? aaaaaahhhhhh!!!</p>

<p>@everyone: i made a dumb error on one problem! ■■■ x.x
what score do you guys think -1 will come out to be on this math section?
erm… i personally felt that of the math sections i’ve taken, this was one of the harder ones (although i got all of the hard ones and missed the easy one T.T). anyone else feel this way?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>49/54 (add to this if you remember any) only 5 more!!!</p>

<p>100pi question about circle radius 5 inscribed in triangle inscribed in larger circle.
4sqrt2 </p>

<p>“6 plants with height greater than expected”</p>

<p>For this one all we had to do was count what was a above the line right? (just want to make sure lol)</p>

<p>Hey Flcollegeman,
can you remind me please what these question were about
16 (area of square; it gave u a parallelogram and it dealt with a 345 triangle)
16 (prime number factor; choice D)</p>

<p>And for the question you’re asking above, yes, you just had to count dots above the line.</p>

<p>what do you think -7 will be? 670? i had -6 for the october one and got a 680</p>

<p>@Friendly… it was 110 and 120… thats how these people got 10 x 12 x 11 =1320</p>

<p>again, could it also be 6600… 60 x 2 x 55? Did it give option to write one possible or the least?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It gave you a figure of a parallelogram and asked for the area of the square inside the parallelogram. </p>

<p>and the other one asked which value of p had its greatest prime factor of 3 and it was 3p</p>

<p>Sorry for those very vague responses but I cant really remember.</p>

<p>Hey what did you guys get for the the problem where it’s the cylinder and it’s like point q is on the top face and point p is on the bottom face…point r is on the bottom face and pr=6, radius of faces=6 too…I forget the height but it was like find qr and it was a pythag triangle…I remember getting an answer of 8 or 9, some whole number but are you guys getting root 136? I can’t tell if that’s the problem you’re talking about that has the answer root 136.</p>

<p>thanks Flcollegeman, my mind is really blank to these questions :slight_smile: don’t remember ever solving the first and have no idea what I got for the second…</p>

<p>ahh 5 more questions come on guys think of the easy ones</p>

<p>Flcollegeman: i just checked your answers are there are prob two versions of the test</p>

<p>did any of u guys figure out which section was experimental yet? and how do u figure that out anyway? is it supposed to be the harder math section?</p>

<p>Im pretty sure it said one possible answer. I got that answer, too.</p>

<p>did any of u guys figure out which section was experimental yet? and how do u figure that out anyway? is it supposed to be the harder math section?</p>

<p>i think a lot of people on this thread didn’t find the test hard, but compared to tests in the “official sat study guide” i think it was harder and they had easy curves.</p>

<p>9 triangles of height 4 fit into the 12x4 triangle</p>

<p>Hmm… I remember this question and I think I got 12. Can someone explain how to do this one?</p>

<p>The question said if the following triangle is subdivided completely by similar triangles all of height 4, how many triangles will fit inside?</p>

<p>…|

12.|…

…6</p>

<p>It was a right triangle too.
I couldn’t figure out exactly how to solve it so I just went with area - which made sense to me at the time. So the triangle given has an area of .5x6x12 = 36. And the area of each of the smaller triangle would be .5x4x2 = 4. So 36/4 = …</p>

<p>Wait. That’s 9 isn’t it. So maybe I did put 9? Why am I thinking 12? God. PLEASE don’t tell me I calculated 36/4 to be 12. I forgot my calculator for this test but… oh god.</p>

<p>Well enough of my problems. Was that at least the right way to get the answer? Drawing it out didn’t work for me.</p>

<p>Oh and here are some curves for your enjoyment (not sure if they’ve been posted yet in the 53 pages preceding).
