DECEMBER 2011 SAT Pre/Post Test Discussion

<p>misanthrope, curmudgeon</p>

<p>Nutritional problem was definitely I only. I looked at that one twice and I don’t think I made a careless error both times. But I still remember the label and you can help yourself</p>

<p>Per serving: 5 Chips (16 grams per serving)</p>

<p>Total servings: ? I think this was 16 or 18.</p>

<p>Calories: 80
Fat calories: 35</p>

<p>I. I forgot this one
II. The percentage of fat in the calories was under 40%. (False about 43%)
III. Something like: Total content weighed 80 grams.</p>

<p>I, was definitely true, even though I can remember it atm, and you can check the other two with the info I provided.</p>

<p>Edit: Ask if you need any other questions re-written.</p>

<p>

I: (something like this) How many servings per bag?</p>

<p>Does anyone know which math section was the experimental? Or was it different for everyone?</p>

<p>@donb, Ill post one question from each real section:</p>

<p>Section X: The question about red marbles. Z marbles were removed and the probability of drawing a red marble is still the same.</p>

<p>Section Y: Grid-In section. The final grid-in question was: The amount of teachers in the school increased by 8 percent, and the amount of students decreased by 10 percent, how many times is the new ratio compared to the old one.</p>

<p>Section Z: The distance from X to 3 is twice that of X to 0, which of the following is true?</p>

<p>The sections that had one of those 3 questions as the last question are the non-experimental sections.</p>

<p>Section Y: Grid-In section. The final grid-in question was: The amount of teachers in the school increased by 8 percent, and the amount of students decreased by 10 percent, how many times is the new ratio compared to the old one.
For this question, did you guys just pick a random amount of teachers and students to start off with? i dont remember what i got as my answer</p>

<p>The vocab was a lot tougher this time around.
Last time I only missed 1 vocab question out of the 19, this time i am sure i missed more, shame.</p>

<p>Teachers and students one was 1.2.</p>

<p>What was the math question about area? It was the grid-in one… some people said the answer was 20?</p>

<p>@VT yes, picking random numbers was quick and efficient :smiley: Math curve is probably going to be as harsh as the November CR curve was.</p>

<p>

Ah, thank god. I missed a bunch on the experimental for some reason.
Also, the one vocab that had juxaposition and semblance as options, does anyone know the answer? It was talking about some artists unusual sculpting style of combining a few things.</p>

<p>can someone putup a complete list of answers so far>?</p>

<p>any one remember the problem like *16 - *15 = *? i think there were triangles instead of * but i put *4</p>

<p>@Battlebrick
Evidence that it was hard to find…? It was it was found in fish, so it certainly wasn’t rare.</p>

<p>^^^^yea, what was that sculpting one? i know i got it wrong, but was it semblance or juxtaposition lol?</p>

<p>Anyone know which math was the variable? I hope it was the one that asked for the red candy probability. And what was the answer for point p on the timeline. Was it |x-3|=2x or |x+3|=2x. I put x-3…</p>

<p>And I think I did pretty well, writing was a breeze, CR vocab was hard as heck, and math and harder than I expected. Probably got around a 1900-2000 which would be a big improvement for me.</p>

<p>i’m sure that the answer for the distance and point p problem was: 2*|3-x| = |x| b/c x actually was 2.</p>

<p>@tenacious10 if i remember right, it said “x is twice the distance from 3 than from 0” so x = 1, -3. only one of the options fit that.</p>

<p>i thought it was the opposite. The distance from zero is twice distance from 3.</p>

<p>@tenacious
The distance from P to 3 was 2x the distance from P to 0, so -3 and 1 are the answers. Plugging in your answers will help you avoid mistakes like that.</p>
