<p>would 44 be an 800?</p>
<p>i didn't mean that the SAT ruins my life, i meant that it can really make you ****ed off because it is a monopoly to get into college</p>
<p>if you don't take the SAT seriously, then you don't take education seriously, and i wouldn't understand why you even post here mmkay.</p>

yeah, i'm pretty sure it wil be at least a 44 maybe a 43. In the official math lvl 1,2 book from collegeboard, the curves were 44 and 43.</p>
<p>was barrons a good preparation for this test??</p>
<p>"was barrons a good preparation for this test??"</p>
<p>Definately.</p>
<p>Barron's? Yeah, it was. I never finished the last chapter of exercises - only managed to do half of it and the rest from the other chapters, but it probably still helped me more than any other prep book as far as I'm concerned.</p>
<p>I think the 15 Practice Tests from Meylani helped out a LOT. A lot of the questions on the actual SAT were reviewed in that book. I just studied a bit the night before and it helped me quite a bit.</p>
<p>I've gotta ask-</p>
<p>I was chugging along just fine, in my own little world after killing the literature test, and realized I was on question 40 and the time was about to be called. It was ax=something - 2x (not sure about that), so I marked 0 right as time was called. Anyone know the correct answer?</p>
<p>Oh yes, I think the answer choices were -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. So far, it looks like I haven't missed a question, so an answer to number 40 would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>Oh, yes, "if you don't take the SAT seriously, then you don't take education seriously, and i wouldn't understand why you even post here mmkay."</p>
<p>Etti, I guess you forgot to study the logic portion of the Math IIc. I don't blame you, it doesn't come up often. I'd look at the "slippery slope" fallacy of logic, if I were you.</p>
<p>theWretched your arguement is completely wrong:</p>
<p>1) When I said my statement, it was meant as a remark that is generally true. It can be assumed that if mmkay has registered here and posted 100+ times he is serious about this place and had no right to make that statement towards me. Please don't act like a smarta$$.</p>
<p>2) I am aware of the contrapositive, but it seems like you're so arrogant that you flout your knowledge in such a simple concept. You shouldn't be flaming people when you couldn't even complete the mathIIC test in time.</p>
<p>Etti-</p>
<p>I think that mmkay was simply putting the test into context: the results of this test aren't as important as many members have led themsleves to believe. </p>
<p>Now, mmkay had every right to make his statement. Your post count doesn't mean anything, as far as I'm concerned. It's about what you say, not how devoted you are to this particular forum.</p>
<p>I know many people who don't take the test seriously, considering it a horribly flawed assesment of scholastic ability which can easily be exploited. However, these same people hold student government positions and sit in on district meetings, secure in the knowledge that education is extremely important. Do you really believe that, as a general truth, those that devalue the SAT don't take education seriously?</p>
<p>I was not trying to flout my knowledge, but pointing out something you said that I thought was illogical and unfounded. Now, I did it in a snarky, condescending way, and I apologize. I have realized I don't want a "flame war" (this is my first, by the way), and have no interest in pursuing this any further. Of course, I would like to read a well thought-out response from you. </p>
<p>I'd also like you to elaborate more on your last point, because I see no connection between completing the MathIIc test in 60 minutes and an ability to criticize you.</p>
<p>sincerely,</p>
<p>Me</p>
<p>To the forum: I really am interested in question 40, and would still like to have the answer. I would like to apologize to anyone who feels I derailed this thread, because I did.</p>
<p>theWretched,</p>
<p>First of all, I accept your apology. </p>
<p>But I still disagree with your points:
"However, these same people hold student government positions and sit in on district meetings, secure in the knowledge that education is extremely important. Do you really believe that, as a general truth, those that devalue the SAT don't take education seriously?" </p>
<p>When I mean that someone is taking the SAT seriously, I don't mean that they love it (I don't think any sane student loves taking these standardized tests), in fact I am implying that when they take the test, they will in fact take it seriously, because they realize that it will affect their future. Now, someone who doesn't take the SAT seriously, is probably lying to you if they have decent scores; if they truly do not take it seriously then they wouldn't even sign up for the test, and if they did they would achieve horrible scores. </p>
<p>"I'd also like you to elaborate more on your last point, because I see no connection between completing the MathIIc test in 60 minutes and an ability to criticize you."</p>
<p>I may have read your previous statement wrong, but it seemed as if you were being sarcastic when you said that I hadn't studied logic, because that hardly showed up on the exam. I didn't think you were being serious in that statement, but you were - a misunderstanding.</p>
