<p>It's definitely MC. I'm 99% sure.</p>
<p>hmm idk. the answer was definitely 32............</p>
<p>Yeah andrea (hi by the way lol) I'm pretty sure that the bacteria was MC too.</p>
<p>yeah, thats what i was thinking. because i know i know how to solve exponential growth ones like that. i have NEVER gotten one of those wrong.</p>
<p>whooo.</p>
<p>It was an MC</p>
<p>are u sure its mc</p>
<p>In the bacteria one, was 30 an answer choice?</p>
<p>Ya, I'm positive b/c I almost put 1600 which was choice E and then I went back and changed it to choice b or C 32. I don't think 30 was a choice.</p>
<p>hmm.. ok.. lol.</p>
<p>The correct answer was 32.</p>
<p>THe bacteria went from 50 -> 1600.</p>
<p>50(32) = 1600.</p>
<p>I feel stupid. So stupid.</p>
<p>On the |x|-|y|=10.
I thought I. read Could x - y = 10
so of course I was like duh. and choose the answer with only I.</p>
<p>Then on the Equilateral triangle one I just devided up the angles for the right angle in the isoceles triangle wrong. So I couldn't apply the 90-60-30 degree triangle principle wrong. It guess I should have drawn out a better diagram.</p>
<p>Then for the .3#=p/t I just didn't understand what the question was asking and put three down.</p>
<p>The only where I feel like I really couldn't have done was the parabola one, because I just didn't know how to go about solving it, besides nowing that the difference between the y variables had to be 2. I just ommitted.</p>
<p>Ugh I came out of the math section thinking, I had done well except for that problem.</p>
<p>I just checked at scale from the 2006 - 2007 math SAT preperation book and I think the highest I could get is like 740.</p>
<p>But at least I think I did pretty well on the reading section.</p>
<p>It just sucks because I'm a junior and this is the first time since 8th grade that I've taken the SAT. I got a 730 on the math then. I have potential to do worse than I did in 8th grade, how pathetic. I must be getting stupider.</p>

Can someone PLEASE explain to me the last question on one of the sections that involved a shaded box over the hundredths place? So far, I've heard 2,3, and 5. Also, please include as much as you remember about the question. I don't understand why it cannot be repeating. What if the shaded box covered up a ROUNDED hundredths result? The test never specified whether it was an EXACT or ROUNDED number?

<p>i remember this one. it was something like X is .3_ and there was the box over the hundredths place. it said that x = p/q or some other variables, and that p was a one digit number and q was a two digit number. so you plug in the choices:
.32.....8/25
.33.....33/100
.34 or .39?......34 is 17/50 and .39 is 39/100
.37.....37/100
.38.....19/50</p>
<p>so its .32. the actual answer was 2 since it was asking only for the hundredths digit.</p>
<p>thats stinks pgtori... i might have the same problem as you do but with cr.</p>

<p>what did that answer end up being?</p>
<p>I put 9/27 gives .33 (rounded). People claim it's wrong because it's repeating, but the question never specified that x HAD TO BE an exact number.,</p>
<p>Is this a "bad" sat question that should be contested?</p>
<p>none of the above</p>
<p>To clarify:</p>
<p>The I, II, III problems:</p>
<p>With circle: ALL</p>
<p>With absolute value: NONE</p>
<p>I think it should be contested because that's the same thing I did, I just had 9/27 which produces .3333...
They really should have been more specific.</p>
<p>Have any of you encountered a question like that in the practice books, because I haven't. If it's a common type of question I guess I could understand, but if it isn't I think it would have been greatly beneficial and less confusing if they had at least put terminal number or non repeating decimal. cause .3333... still has a hundreths place, it's 3.</p>
<p>Ykim917/ yea i guess it was one of the 'bad' questions...</p>
<p>it's important to distinguish best( or better in this case) answer from 5 choices of answers.</p>
<p>.32 = 8/25 and 9/27 is .33 repeating and can be reduced to 1/3.</p>
<p>so i guess .32 - 8/25 is the better answer.</p>
<p>the question'd been clearer if you guys put decimals and went to >FRAC in the calculator.</p>
