March 2012 SAT I Math Thread

<p>If I you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about, then I got 4 for that one/</p>

<p>The shaded area was 75/200, or 3/8.</p>

<p>In respons to Eagles 94:</p>

<ol>
<li>you must account for the division of the cake. it was 8/30</li>
<li>I put 3.5 for the one that was in between a range of number. anything around that number should be right</li>
<li>there are actually 28 cats and 14 dogs</li>
<li>the circle graph was definitely 126 because it was acting for the difference in degrees</li>
<li>the shaded squares problem was definitely an even 6000</li>
<li>the factors problem was 8; i took specific note-to-self that it said factors and NOT pairs</li>
</ol>

<p>the rest…I’m in agreement</p>

<p>@dragon33r1
17. I think shaded squares was 6400. 100<em>100 - ((100-10</em>4)/3)^2 * 9 = 6400.</p>

<p>Hm…what else, what else…um…I’m blanking.</p>

<p>Can you guys think of anymore of the problems?</p>

<p>OH! I have one. There was a problem where we had to pick the one that WOULDN’T work (not the one where the answer is 35) and it gives us (1,2,3,4) and asks for the sum of two squares and asks which answer choice can’t work. I said it was the number between 17 and 10, but I can’t remember what the number was.</p>

<p>Shaded square was 6400.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the Octagon in a square-what’s the area of the shaded region question(the corners)? I think maybe that was the experimental math section for me.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the one that was a circle tangent to a line and the answer was 5/4. Was that later in a section? Totally blanking.</p>

<p>Generally I felt the math was a bit easier than Jan.
CR was harder for me.
W was a little harder but keep in mind I thought January’s was VERY essay. No diction questions this time around so that’s a plus.</p>

<p>@GalindatheGood</p>

<p>15.</p>

<p>What do you guys think this curve is? 760-style January? or 780 style regular?</p>

<p>It wasn’t experimental, I had writing experimental and I had that one, too.</p>

<p>The answer was…hmph…well, 180(n-2) all over n, so…each angle was 60 degrees!</p>

<p>That was the answer, 60.</p>

<p>@GalindatheGood
I think it was 15.</p>

<p>@Niceboat
That was exp prob.</p>

<p>Galinda
It was 15</p>

<p>@galinda I got 15 for that one</p>

<p>oh um there was one that asked something like: for which 3 consecutive numbers is the middle number times itself equal to the sum of the numbers before and after it?
it was 1,2,3… right? kinda rushed on that one</p>

<p>For the question with the 60 degree angle, 45 degree angle, and 4rt2, was it the very last math section with 20 minutes?</p>

<p>If so I would understand why I lost my focus :expressionless: god dammit.</p>

<p>Remember that it said there were twice as many cats as dogs, meaning cats outnumber dogs. Some of you might have set it up incorrectly as: 2c=d, which means that dogs outnumber cats.</p>

<p>Well, the January curve is known to be quite generous…I would guess the March curve is less so.</p>

<p>One wrong is likely a 780…I’ve seen the past curves for the March exam and that seems to be the norm. At time, though, one wrong is a 790 but it’s rarer.</p>

<p>Is 780 better or worse than the January curve?</p>

<p>hey guys what was the answer to the question about the number line? i was almost positive that it was 6. but idk</p>

<p>^I believe it was 2,3,4</p>

<p>@cathbomb btw</p>

<p>the number line one was 5.5 wasn’t it?</p>

<p>6 + 3rt2 or something like that. Letter E</p>

<p>WHAT THE PUCK!!! I put 27 because I thought 0 wasn’t an integer…</p>

<p>This makes me mad bro</p>
