<p>Has anyone encountered a question like this on a real SAT?</p>

<p>Never seen one like that. Is it from the old sat?</p>
<p>Nope, it’s from a simulated new SAT.</p>
<p>I think I have seen a question like this on a practice test, but never on a real PSAT/SAT booklet.</p>
<p>This seems like one of those “do these steps and I will tell you the result” tricks. I doubt this could be on the sat lol</p>
<p>seems like a very easy question to me, but i doubt this would be on the SAT</p>
<p>I have seen a question similar to this on an SAT, but with integers. So it was even easier.</p>
<p>It looks easy…but I can totally see where the students who miss this will slip up – you have to read and think carefully about what they want: “greatest integer less than” or “least integer greater than”. Make sure you know whether to round up or down! </p>
<p>And don’t use the traditional rounding rules! (I mean, suppose they ask for the greatest integer less than 6.99 – you would round down to 6, even though when you first learned about rounding, you would have rounded up to 7) </p>
<p>So yes, it is SAT-like and also not that hard – but with room to mess up if you are careless.</p>
<p>I’ve seen similar questions, just worded/formatted differently, and also easier.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve seen this stuff before.</p>
