Hard Math=Easy and Easy Math=tricky?

RahoulVA · May 25, 2008, 2:35pm

Anyone else feel like they can get the hard difficulty questions so easily but make careless mistakes on the medium questions? I see these in my practice tests, and it's like the test makers make the easier ones the most trickiest while making the hard ones questions where logic can beat them(which is what I'm good at).

Amandeep1 · May 25, 2008, 2:36pm

Well sometimes I forget really easy tricks you learn in 5th grade. I guess it's just matter of practice.

jcll2002 · May 25, 2008, 3:22pm

yeah i find that the case also. I can get questions 1-10 easily and 15-20 easily, but 11-14 trip me up for some reason.

I'd have to agree.
I haven't taken the SAT I yet, but at least with the subject test... I took some Lvl 1 practices and was getting in the low 600s. I took the Lvl 2 in May and got 750. Now I know the curves are different, but still.
That's why I'm kinda disappointed some of the higher level stuff isn't on the SAT I.

Those easy questions are for people who love to over analyze a problem.

Sometime they gave you irrelevant information to confuse you.

Yes, this is my problem. They often put a good but not correct answer for choices A, B, and C. The real answer is almost always D or E. Anyone else notice this pattern?

*I know that I'm going to ruin this thread by putting this in here, but this is the list of answers to the 6 collegeboard online practice tests. I don't think we should look just at math, but I definitely don't see "A" as much. *
