June 4 2011 SAT Reasoning Post-Test Discussion

<p>section 10 writing the last question something like “practice”, “to practice”.“you practice” what was the right answer? i put “practice”</p>

<p>I believe I put it as an infinitive (one about guitars right)</p>

<p>And I believe for the math problem with the averages, the answer was 210 or 240, since the average is that of x’s distance from each of the people.</p>

<p>@ham it was about indian daughter and mom relationship</p>

<p>@Lilshowstoppa yeah I used you. It was the only appropriate one.</p>

<p>I can’t believe I didn’t see the positive in the ‘nk’ question! So disappointed… that’s about 30 pts down the drain right there… Hopefully the math curve is lenient. What do you think a -3 or a -5 would be?</p>

<p>Vkm415: probably a 700-740</p>

<p>@biteme192</p>

<p>I had the same set up as your friend. I hope the section 5 math wasn’t experimental because that was by far the easiest section I thought, but I guess it might be if you didn’t have it</p>

<p>Is it possible to have the grid-in as your variable section?</p>

<p>@connor im like 99.99999% sure that was the experimental one</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>@vkm if you had 2 grid ins than yes one of them could be experimental</p>

<p>@Connor or Biteme, could you name some of the questions in section 5?</p>

<p>Was one of the math experimental? I could be wrong but I dont remember getting two grid-ins on the May sat.</p>

<p>Overall, I think the test was easier this time around then in May. Whether it was because May was my first time taking it, or simply because the sections were easier.</p>

<p>Math and critical reading seemed easier, and writing was about the same. The essay question was pretty straightfoward.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question with the inscribed triangle in two overlapping circles with radii 6 and 8? Was it 31/4 or something like that?</p>

<p>@vkm415 -</p>

<p>the answer was 4</p>

<p>@Herro1234</p>

<p>Could you explain how you got that?</p>

<p>Oh wait, I get it.</p>

<p>Did everyone get the Math grid-in question that asked for the range or was that part of an experimental section</p>

<p>for the essay i used…</p>

<p>Facebook / Invention of the Internet
Slavery / Civil Rights Movement</p>

<p>Actually, it is 2. the radii form a right triangle, so the line segment is 10. To find the answer, we do 10=14-2x (The two arising from the fact there is an overlap), getting the answer 2.</p>

<p>My last post directed @herro</p>

<p>Ok the one about the bee, what did you guys for when they asked about the word “agent”
Also there was another question on the bee one, i put “raise”. i dont rmbr what the question was though</p>
