I think I got an impossible math question!

<p>I took the SAT in Vietnam today, and one of the questions in the "grid in" section showed a horizontal line with (3,7) and (8,7). The question asked for the (slope*Y intercept).</p>

<p>Obviously, the slope is ZERO. So the answer is ZERO</p>

<p>But zero is not an answer allowed for the grid-ins! There is no space to mark zero. So I had to leave it blank.</p>

<p>Did anyone else get this question? If I'm right, do I have any recourse (I ordered QAS)?</p>

<p>I got that question too. I answered it zero…</p>

<p>I got that question too, you just had to grid in zero in any of the columns which had zero as an option (any but the first one).</p>

<p>Now that we are talking about the math section, could you please tell me the answer to the question where a cube’s volume is V and surface area is A. What is V directly proportional to? A, A^2, A^3, A^(2/3) or A^(3/2)?</p>

<p>my ans is A^(3/2)
for grid-in ans
3500
18/4
0
1
3.84 or something (the last one)
agree?</p>

<p>A^(3/2) is the right answer ^^
3.84 is right, too :D</p>

<p>and the the ratio of incomes to expenses…
ans is 1to6 right?</p>

<p>@judaskiss: 3500? do you mean the question about voters? I thought it was 4/7*2000 :-s</p>

<p>that so great trangle92 can u remember other answers?
lets share</p>

<p>@trangle92 yes i mean that question but i dunt sure abt it</p>

<p>I also got 18/4 and 1to6. do you remember the question about median branches?</p>

<p>i think there are 2or3 questions abt median
one of my ans is25</p>

<p>more grid in
8.5miles</p>

<p>I chose the same. can’t believe that i even didn’t remember the difference between median and medium T_T
anw, the math sections seem quite easy. hope i didn’t make any more silly mistake :(</p>

<p>My experimental section is CR</p>

<p>yes, 8.5 :D</p>

<p>i did the test today too… i take it all the people in america who haven’t yet taken the SAT will be getting different questions than these? or not?</p>

<p>btw what did you guys put for the CR ones… i found those hard, but i can’t remember the hard qs.</p>

<p>and phew i got 3.84 but was really doubting it, that question annoyed me heaps!</p>

<p>My experimental section is CR too ! really hard
i can ans all of math questions hope its all correct</p>

<p>@aussietechie: they’ll get the same questions :stuck_out_tongue:
@judaskiss: there’re two CR sections consecutive. Maybe the former is experimental :-?</p>

<p>Haha, just read you guys answers, all seem correct, if I remember correctly, A^(3/2) was part (E), right? Also the other answers 3500, 18/4, 0, 1, 3.84 are correct.</p>

<p>The median question you are referring to, in which the bank branches were there right? In that question, you had to find the cumulative frequency (c.f) and the median would be [(c.f+1)/2]. Which was 110, which came about to be 28. Is that correct? Any other questions you would like to discuss?</p>

<p>yeh i agree</p>

<p>agree with trangle92
sorry i cant remmember that question.</p>
