<p>does anyone remember the question that went something like 3a-4b=b.....what does 6a-6b=? I skipped this question and when I came back to it I ran out of time</p>
<p>thank god i had the math experimental...w00t...i woulda died otherwise....there this one math question where they had a solid pyramid and said that m which made up the base was equal to e and the 4 e's tht made up the sides of the pyramid meet at point V. they wanted to knw wut H was equal to. i put down h = m times radical 3 over 2....wut did u guys get?</p>
<p>the answer to this is o...bcuz since 3a-4b= b, u subtract b frm both sides making it 3a-3b= 0....thus 6a-6b is the same thing and also results in 0...</p>
<p>i came up with e^2=.5m^2+h^2....and then didn't it say e=m so m^2=.5m^2+h^2 ----->.5m^2=h^2 from that I got my final answer of m/root 2</p>
<p>ugh....darn it....i totally blanked out on the pythagorean theorem....damn...i was instead working with the 30:60:90 triangle ratio...lol....how sad....</p>
<p>i got h=radical m over 2 or something like that. it was a thirty sixt ninety ritangle ration i think. i jus tguessed on intuition, but i think it was a 3-60-90</p>
<p>The answer to the pyramid one was m/root(2). I felt that was the most in depth math problem on the test today, the rest were fairly simple and involved no more than 1 or 2 steps to solve.</p>
<p>this test was actually easier than the june test, but the grammar section was a little different from the ones in the College Board Book.</p>
<p>yes definitely....question...the section tht included the pyramid question was section 3 or 4? and which one was the experimental one???</p>
<p>At the test center which currently I am going to leave unnamed were severe unfair test practices that compromised the abilities of over 40-60 test takers on today's SAT's. The test center aknowledged the registration of those test takers and denied them entry into the highschool due to lack of space, (grivience #1, they acknowledged space, they are required to accept the students), the second was the overly wait time, test began at 11AM instead of 8AM. (#2), test proctor was by far the devil herself (proctor grievances never segregated test sections, gave an allotted 3 hours and 25 minutes to complete the entire test without end of section warnings, breaks, five minute courtesy calls, also passed out incorrect booklets to test takers during middle of exam and halted test to make switch. above all was extremely interuptive).</p>
<p>my question to all of you is what course an action, I the student take against the test center and the proctor itself? Will collegeboard ever honor any sort of investigation into the ill practices of this test center? could there be any retribution and if not acknowledgement and benefit to anyone filing a report against the test center? looking for opinions here, similar experiences, and advice.</p>
<p>thanks very much.</p>
<p>i think the reading section was experimental, but i didnot get the q with the pyramaid shaped figure with sides h</p>
<p>Is there any chance of math being 800, 800, 780-790?</p>
<p>or just the usual 800, 780-790?</p>
<p>wut do u mean?</p>
<p>Transformed... viable. Cheapened doesn't fit because it's talking about the industry, not the products themselves.</p>
<p>THANK YOU. I changed that last minute. Yes yes yes. I think that was choice C, yes?</p>
<p>I thought this SAT was easier than the one I took in April. It might've been because I actually prepared ahead of time ..ish, but it didn't seem that bad. We shall see.</p>
<p>For the carsalesman question; did people get 28000k or 280k. It was a stupid question, I interpreted the k as being a whole number, yet most that I've asked said because it is a percent its considered a decimal...is that true? I also screwed up the candidates one by putting 51% instead of 50.5; I thought the math section on this test wasn't hard, just a few poorly worded questions that thoroughly ****ed me off.</p>
<p>i mean that sometimes for math...rarely, actually</p>
<p>54 - 800, 53-800, 52- 780-790, ....</p>
<p>anyone think that math was that difficult that this would occur (realtive to past tests)?</p>
<p>I put 280k, but I wasn't very sure either. I treated it as k/100, but I kept getting 28 so I just put 280....<em>looks away</em></p>
<p>ibmdependant, My memory of the test is wary, but I believe that I got one of the fractional answers. Try plugging in a value for k, solving the problem, and (if you still remeber the answer choices) plugging your value for k into the formulas to check if they match.</p>
<p>If you remember the problem, I can work it out again. :-/</p>
<p>Something about commission = k percent of the price of the car, when 2 cars are bought at $14000 each.</p>
