June 2009 SAT INTERNATIONAL

<p>i think this q might have tripped up a few people
i ALMOST made the mistake and then came back to fix it</p>

<p>“out of the people who had plumbers recommended , what fraction actually chose them”</p>

<p>originally i had y / (x+y+z) … and then i realized it said OUT Of the people who had plumbers recommended … therefore the answer was y / (Y+z)</p>

<p>Yeah I got that. It was a tricky one, had to read the question carefully.</p>

<p>Yeah, I got y/(y+z) too.</p>

<p>I seem to have made both the mistakes I’m aware of in the same section (the grid-in one). Pity that it won’t be the experimental one…</p>

<p>Frig, I misread the y/y+z question…I found the critical reading okay, but the lawyer passages were annoying.</p>

<p>For that question, #8 right before the grid-in…it was like, if y is proportionate to x, then what is x in terms of y, what did you guys get? I wrote 4x but I’m not totally sure about it.</p>

<p>Aaaa damn I got this x z y wrong ;[[ nvm ,hoping this will be my only error and -1 will be 800,at least 790 ;(</p>

<p>What about the questions involving cars ? I got two A`s</p>

<p>i put 4x too
i dont think the rest were “directly proportional”
i.e the x2… was exponential… there was one which was 4/x… etc etc</p>

<p>xShadow63 ,
4x of course.If x = 1 ,y = 4 ,x = 2 ,y= 8, x = 3 y = 24 and so long ;)</p>

<p>Yeah, I don’t know why, but that question was giving me trouble. It’s so obvious once you think about it.</p>

<p>What about the cars ?
I got two A`s …</p>

<p>What was the question with the cars again? I don’t really remember it…</p>

<p>paints and percents :slight_smile: I think they were questions 15 and 16 .</p>

<p>Ohhh the one about what percent of the total cars are white? I think I got 10% for one…I don’t remember what I got for the other one.</p>

<p>I dunno what it was but it felt like time kept on running out so fast for the math sections. I guess it was just a little hard.</p>

<p>What did you get for the one that was like y = -1/4x + 5, the perpendicular of that function, and the points (a, 3) and (4, c) were on that line. And it asked for a-c.</p>

<p>I think I got 19…</p>

<p>I am so much hoping for a -1 = 800 ;)</p>

<p>hey i have a few questions</p>

<p>what was the one where she had m dollars, gained k, and the lost w… which equaled (m-20)… what u could figure out was (k-w) right?</p>

<p>also what about the 2 circles which overlapped… each had an area of 25… and the area they overlapped was 12? i think… i got 38 (i know its an easy grid in question but i was just confused)</p>

<p>and for the reading… the law passage… the last lines were derisive and laudatory right?.. cause like almost all the choices fit for the first passage… but only 1 fit for the second one i think</p>

<p>shadow i think ur confusing a question
i think it said … what is a in terms of c</p>

<p>and the answer was like -4a+19
cause a = -0.5</p>

<p>k-w = correct
38 = correct</p>

<p>What about the one with the sum of the first 10 positive integers being s ;what ,in terms of s ,is the sum of the first 20 pos .integers ?
s=55, the sum of the first 20 integers was 210 ,so 2s+100 ?</p>

<p>LOL oh crap yeah what the hell was I thinking of…I remembered there was a 19 in my answer because I did that question literally in the last 15 seconds of the section.</p>

<p>Yeah, 2s+100. That’s what I got too.</p>

<p>For the question with the overlapping circles. It asked for what the area of the shaded region was, didn’t it? And the whole goddamn thing was shaded. I was so confused about that.</p>

<p>Edit: Yeah, pakalypse it was derisive and laudatory. Nothing else worked out.</p>

<p>haha SAMEE lol ^^</p>

<p>so does anyone know about that derisive/laudatory one?</p>

<p>honestly though
i now i may be judging bit early… but i think i did good… (inshallah, god willing) lol … but yeah like… it makes me happy to know that… the first kaplan sat practice test i got like 1800 on now… and then on teh dec. sat i got 1990…and now… after like… friggin MONTHS of practice i think i may have broken the 2200 barrier :D</p>

<p>it probably doesnt seem like much to most of u… but i think that was the most dedicated to something ive ever been :p</p>

<p>It wasnt the whole thing shaded man :slight_smile: Just the middle and I think it was given to be 12 .I finally got 38 but forgot what was asked.The other question with overlapping regions was in section 9.I think it was 10pi</p>
