hard math secion is NOT the experimental

<p>yes, the one that was harder than the others, with the (r^2)st=200 rst=40 in the end
I'm offically depressed.</p>

<p>What's hard about that question? Though I don't remember seeing it on the test..</p>

<p>andreaaaaaa, debate_addict, and Eloquence claim they didn't have the rst question. Are you positive that it wasn't experimental or are you just guessing?</p>

<p>i thought the one with the RST was experimental? well either way, it would make sense for the harder one to be the real one since the other math section was so easy.</p>

<p>can someone please state the whole rst problem??</p>

<p>Swatman888 did in the topic "Math Experimental"</p>

<p>(r^2)st = 200 and rst = 40 where r, s, and t are positive integers. Which of the following could NOT be a value of rs?</p>

<p>a) 5
b) 10
c) 20
d) 30
e) 40</p>

<p>how do you know it's not experimental?</p>

<p>especially since that was the experimental one..</p>

<p>I definitely did not have that problem.</p>

<p>actually it was experimental since if u look down at the list of different tests on college boards site this is the one where section 2 is experimental section 3 is the real one and i know this b/c i had 2 reading sections in a row for 7 and 8.</p>

<p>This quesion was on the Sunday Version. I'm absolutely sure since I took the test on Sunday and it appeared on my test. The answer was 30 by the way. Want an explanation?</p>

<p>Woah, sunday and saturday get the same test?</p>

<p>yeah i am positive that i didnt have that question. i had a writing experimental.</p>

<p>the after the test thing came out, <a href="http://collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/after/highlights.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/after/highlights.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>does that help you see that it is experimental?</p>

<p>yes, writing experimental. i m relieved. what abt u??? i think i read it right. writing was experimental, right??</p>

<p>i had a writing experimental, too . . . that rst question was DEFINITELY in an experimental section</p>

<p>I am an SAT Teacher who took the test last weekend. I did not have that question. It was in the experimental section.</p>

<p>Sorry to ask this question: What is an experimental section?</p>

<p>the question was definitely experimental</p>

<p>i had an experimental math and STILL didn't have it (which means there were different math experimentals)</p>

<p>even so, I looked at the question and it wasn't that hard</p>

<p>(r^2)st=200
rst=40</p>

<p>5rst=(r^2)st
5=r</p>

<p>st=8</p>

<p>multiples of 8 that s could be are 1, 2, 4 and 8
5x1=5
5x2=10
5x4=20
5x8=40</p>

<p>so it had to be 30
pretty easy problem...</p>

<p>An SAT has 10 sections; however, one of those sections is considered experimental, meaning it does not count toward your score. The College Board uses the results from these experimental sections to research the validity of test questions. If a question measures up to their standards, it will likely be used in a real section some day.</p>

<p>The experimental section is always located between Section 2 and Section 7.</p>

<p>You can figure out your experimental section based on the number of math, reading, and writing sections and by comparing notes with the students on College Board. If you have 4 math sections, one is experimental. If you have 4 reading sections, one is experimental. And if you have 2 thirty-five question writing sections, one is experimental.</p>
