January 9 SSAT Test-takers?

<p>I got AE too!</p>

<p>How about the one that said:</p>

<p>If y doesnt equal zero, and x doesnt equal zero, what is (6.25/y) x = </p>

<p>a) 25/6xy</p>

<p>b) 6x/25y</p>

<p>c) 4x/25y</p>

<p>d) 25x/6y</p>

<p>e) 25x/4y</p>

<p>25x/4y? 10 char</p>

<p>I don’t understand. How did you figure it out??</p>

<p>25 divided by four = 6.25. X has to be on top and y on bottom. The way they expected you to do it was this. 24/4 = 6. .25 * 4 = 1 hence 4(6) + 4(.25) = 25. Hence it’s 6.25.</p>

<p>Awesome! I got both of those!!! </p>

<p>I <3 you guys! Now I can sleep easier!</p>

<p>There was one I didn’t get, but I forgot. It was on section one, I omitted it because I had no clue. It looked easy, though.</p>

<p>Which problem was it?</p>

<p>I’m trying to remember. Oh well, I don’t think it will make a big difference.</p>

<p>I thought the math was pretty easy as well. The football one was wordy, ;/
Reading was ok, I think at most I might’ve gotten 1 or 2 wrong. I had 2 questions I didn’t finish though, so I omitted those.
I thought analogies were fine. Synomyns I think I got 5 wrong at ultimate max.</p>

<p>hey guys, took the ssat yesterday. ask any questions.</p>

<p>Tell me some of the schoools you will be applying to as well.</p>

<p>i had a question about a calculator. i think i put 9.</p>

<p>i put 333 for that.
also, was the 2nd question for the football probelem 2?</p>

<p>i put not enough information for the calculator one.</p>

<p>I guessed on the second football one. I picked A which was the highest amount there.</p>

<ul>
<li>10 points for predicting the winner</li>
<li>Add points for how many points predicted or how many points won (which ever is lowest)</li>
<li>subtract points for how many excess points were predicted but were over the total by which the team won (something like that)</li>
</ul>

<p>I think the question was __<strong><em>(insert name here) predicted team A would win the football game by 20 points. Team A won 24-18 How many points does </em></strong> (insert name here) have?</p>

<p>THis is how I did it. 10 + 20 - 0 = 30</p>

<p>but since 30 wasn’t an option, i just picked the highest number…</p>

<p>For every section I was able to finish and go over it like 2 or 3 times just to make sure everything was correct, I hoped it pays off</p>

<p>I got 333 for that one too, I tested like 9 different numbers just to make sure</p>

<p>do you remember the calculator question? I was pretty sure that it couldn’t be solved. but I guess I read it wrong.</p>

<p>since it was a 3 digit number, its in the hundreds. on a calculator, the number above “that certain number” is 3 more than “that certain number”. If you do that for 3 digits, it would result in 333 more than the actual number.
does this make sense? I hope I’m right.</p>

<p>Frannyk, what schools are you applying to?</p>

<p>I misread the question about the calculator. What grade are you in? Thanks for the explanation</p>
