<p>I remember i had a math section that was harder than the others. I had 4 math sections. The one I thought was experimental was the one with the question that there are people numbered 1-75 (something like that). It was the last question of the section. Also, the section had a hexagon problem. Was that section experimental?</p>
<p>If you had four math sections, there definitely was an experimental one.</p>
<p>Since the graded portion of the SAT has a fixed number of questions, you can (probably) deduce the experimental one based on how many total math questions you had. The experimental section is roughly the same level as the other sections, so you cannot determine the experimental section from the difficulty of the questions alone.</p>
<p>Hey dsyh9418 I had the same 4 math sections too!
Btw for the 1-75 question the answer was the combination of numbers that added to 76
i think it was 29 and 47 or something
I totally guessed on the hexagon though
I’m hoping that was the experimental section because the rest wasn’t hard.</p>
<p>I was wondering if you remember the answer to the question
where it showed the graph of a parabola and they said the general formula was
2x^2+bx+c where they give the x-intersects (2,0) and (-3,0)
What is b+c?</p>
<p>2x^2+2x-12?</p>
<p>That wasn’t the experimental section! My experimental was reading and for math, i had the same questions as the ones you guys are discussing right now.</p>
<p>c=3b-18
c=-2(b+4)</p>
<p>b=2 and c=-12</p>
<p>b+c = -10</p>
<p>Alternate solution, use Vieta’s.</p>
<p>Sum of roots = 2 + (-3) = -b/2 → b = 2
Product of rots = 2(-3) = c/2 → c = -12</p>
<p>b+c = -10.</p>

<p>No, not experimental, that section counted; it appeared in the corresponding QAS test.</p>
