<p>the math question with five 2’s and five 1’s was the answer 6? bc the 1’s couldn’t be in between the 2’s?</p>
<p>What about the math question where you were given the 2 ordered pairs and had to find y in the ordered pair (5, Y)? 3? 3.33? 4?</p>
<p>@vball I got 6 as well</p>
<p>vball123: i got 6 ways too
danksta: im pretty sure i got 3.33…i think i graphed the slope on my calculator and got it</p>
<p>anyways, did we ever establish what we thought the uncounted section was? i remember one of the reading sections seeming scarily harder than the others but i forget which…</p>
<p>nice. I got 3.33 as well</p>
<p>VBall,
It actually doesn’t say anywhere in the rubric for grading the essay that you have to finish the essay. So if your essay was going pretty well up to where you stopped you could still get a good score</p>
<p>ty @danksta/fleure :)</p>
<p>for the math question with the 3 rectangles made up of cubes, was the answer 40?</p>
<p>Did anyone have a critical reading section on the psychology of illusion in art? I’m sure it had to be experimental; it was way too theoretical to be a normal section. But it was the weirdest thing I’ve ever faced on the SAT.</p>
<p>so for my essay, i know teachers always say give two hoity toity examples referencing classical literary works, history, and the like…but i sorta just decided to go on a whim, and use jut one, extensive personal example. was this a terrible choice? i mean, i filled up both pages with it, and although the example was simple, i felt like my essay was overall very coherent and fairly insightful…thoughts?</p>
<p>For my essay, I included Darwin’s book, On the Origin of the Species of Man, Rudyard Kipling’s “White Man’s Burden”, and I discussed the age of European imperialism. Don’t worry, I related them to the essay =P</p>
<p>I definitely think that only using personal experience/examples will get a lower score. I think a variety of different areas of knowledge get higher scores.</p>
<p>@ vball: again, thats what i had!</p>
<p>If I got one math question wrong do you think I could still get an 800? Or is that more like a 770? I put 20% for the very last one because I didn’t realize the totals were cumulative. Luckily, I still have one more try for the 800. It should be easy, but it keeps eluding me somehow :/</p>
<p>sorry to keep bombarding this board with questions, but remember the math q, with the two intersecting circles creating a right triangle where you had to find the length of the little segment on the hypotenuse? i got that the hypotenuse was 10, but then what do you do?? i had to skip that one (goodbye 800…)</p>
<p>Fleure my teacher showed our class an example of one of her past students who wrote an essay of only personal experience and got a 12, but his experience was almost tailor-made for the essay question.</p>
<p>10-6 for one radius. 10-8 for the other. midsection is 4</p>
<p>Also I got hung up on that question too, but it’s actually really easy. Since one radius is 8, the part of the hypotenuse that wasn’t the segment on one side has the length of 2 (10-8). The other radius is 6, so the part of the hypotenuse that wasn’t the segment on the other side has a length of 4 (10-6). This leaves the length of the segment at 4. Took me forever to figure out…</p>
<p>are you serious?? what in the heck was going on up in my attic, that is so easy!</p>
<p>What was the answer to the g(-1) question? Was it D?</p>
<p>hey guys for the one with mulitples of 3 and multiples of n would 11 work?</p>
<p>@unwelc0med I dont think so. I put 11 also because I thought 3 and n couldn’t be multiples of themselves… Had 20 the first time as well. lol whatever</p>
