MAY 2005 TEST – FORM TWO(math experimental)

Test Preparation
261

<p>guess that was my first post, did anyone get the math question that said what is the probability of getting a number that is divisible by 5</p>

262

<p>i got 700 -- how bout the rest of ya</p>

263

<p>yea 700 kibitzer</p>

264

<p>on this SAT test if i did not answer 2 math questions and got 2 wrong what would my math score be?</p>

265

<p>i got 2000 as the compensation Q answer, but if the answer asked for compensation than i'm wrong, because 2000 is the # of sales, not compensation...crap i just realized that too</p>

266

<p>what about one of the 1st gridins, and it was like 1/x + 2/x = 2</p>

<p>i felt like it was incredibly easy but i was just having a brain fart or something</p>

<p>i think i just put in 1, even though it clearly wasnt right</p>

<p>---ANYONE?</p>

damn it, its really annoying when you secondguess yourself in math questions just because all the prep books say that collegeboard is trying to trick you

ahh i know that happened to me SO MANY TIMES!!!!</p>

267

<p>getting 1 grid in wrong drops me to a what? and the probability of it being divisible by 5 was 4/9 i think</p>

268

<p>700 is right...</p>

269

<p>diamond, i got 5/9 for that i believe</p>

270

<p>If on a march scale...probably around 730 (for grad '06)</p>

271

<p>yea that answer wasnt one...i think tiw as 1.5</p>

<p>it took me so long too!!! i got so ****ed at myself but it was experimental so who cares</p>

272

<p>yea 700 is right, im kicking myself right now for misreading that..damn...</p>

<p>anyways, yea, for the divisible by 5 the answer was 5/9</p>

273

<p>tvnut, i did the same thing you did and put 2000</p>

274

<p>greymatter are u talking about me?</p>

275

<p>wasnt it 5/9?</p>

276

<p>no.. TVnut, you're right.. it was 2000.. 700 was the sales.. and u had to plug that back in the equation to get 2000</p>

277

<p>Heh tvnut, thats probably one of the only useful things I picked up from prepbooks, to read what they ask for. Don't worry, you'll never make that mistake again.</p>

278

<p>if i got 2 wrong and 2 left blank what would my ending score be on the math section?</p>

279

<p>pepgirly me too i was like wildly entering in numbers and nothing worked! wait were sure that was experimental though? (please please i hope so!)</p>

280

<p>Nope, it was 700. I am positive. 2000 was the sales, because when I put it into my ti189 it solved for x (sales) and got 2000. Then I made sure to plug in 2000 to get the compensation.</p>

<p>Grad '06, i already tried to answer your question, scroll up.</p>
