january 2012 - SAT Intl

<p>Hope that I can get 800 in math for the third time.</p>

<p>It was p(p+3)? I thought it was p+3! ■■■</p>

<p>Relax, it was p(p+3).</p>

<p>I thought it was p+3. Well there goes my 800</p>

<p>I see my “relax” is there by mistake, i understood you the other way. According to the 2009 thread, you can still make it to a 790 :)</p>

<p>I thought it was p+3 and after I saw this thread, I was worried. So I asked around 5-6 people and they all said it was p+3 for sure</p>

<p>Pretty sure the answer of this question is E.</p>

<p>It looks complicated until plug-in numbers and see what works.</p>

<p>Were there two types of test? like maybe tests having test numbers that end with even number have p(p+3) and odd number have p+3? Many of you say it was p(p+3) and I don’t think my friends and I are that dumb to miss the brackets and thinkg p(p+3) as p+3</p>

<p>it was p(p+3) and E for sure</p>

<p>are that p(p+3) and the 729 questions in the same session. I remembered I spent too much time on the 729 questions and had to rush on the questions after.</p>

<p>i didn’t remember the rule that perfect squares can only ended in 0,1,4,5,6 or 9, but luckily my brain made a link with the fact that they only gave us the last 3 digits so I wrote out the first 10 perfect squares and saw the pattern and chose 729 which took me ~1 minute.</p>
