May SAT 2011: Math Section

<p>@wooyo12 thanks I get it now. For some reason I never visualized the larger triangle. Just missed that one though. Hoping there will be a generous curve.</p>

<p>i don’t recall having an answer 1.3333
i do remember the question that had something to do with 1.3333 on a number line tho</p>

<p>^ all of the answers were fractions, it should have been 4/3.</p>

<p>How did you solve the one with the number line?</p>

<p>I answered (4/3) or (1.33).</p>

<p>It started at 1.20, ending at 1.80. The tick marks were evenly spaced. It was very hard for me to determine the approximate value since it could have been (5/4) or (1.25). But I went with my instinct and answered 4/3.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember questions from the real math section?</p>

<p>It couldn’t have been 5/4 because it was between 1.3 and 1.4, not between 1.2 and 1.3. Each mark was 0.1; it was the only one in that region.</p>

<p>I guess I should be very happy for choosing the correct answer :)</p>

<p>I took the SAT for the first time in March and did ok on the Math, 600. I took it again this past Saturday and I couldn’t believe the math! I really struggled on it and left 11 I think blank! Besides that Im pretty sure I got 2 or 3 of the right ins wrong but I was pretty confident about all of the multiple choice I did answer, thank god! But still, I thought of the March test and the 5 or 6 practice tests I took this was the hardest math by far!</p>

<p>Was coffee experimental? :/</p>

<p>sorry coffee was definitely real :confused: i got it wrong too man for some reason i must have misread the problem and gotten 4.8 instead of 3.84 or whatever it was</p>

<p>Coffee was not experimental… It was an easy one. It is from what? Algebra one from 7th grade?</p>

<p>the square shape is the answer, cuz the problem said something like connecting the dots on the triangular sides… I don’t know if this makes sense to you :(</p>

<p>For some reason, I didn’t know how to solve the coffee problem. Even though I substituted numbers in, I didn’t get 1/(n+1) as the answer for the other problem. I may have gotten 1 or 2 more wrong. Do you think I will get 720+ because that’s what I was expecting.</p>

<p>Coffee is 3 times the amount of beef or what ever it was. He buys 2 times the amount of coffee. </p>

<p>Let X be base beef price
3X + 2X = total price.</p>

<p>Lol the coffee one is so easy now, I keep kicking myself for overthinking it and running out of time.</p>

<p>The decimals probably made you freak out… It sure made me freak out for a sec</p>

<p>It was the last question in the section, so I honestly thought there’d be more to it when I was setting up my equation haha. Messed up the relation between the pounds and the cost ugh</p>

<p>^It wasn’t the last question actually…I don’t think so at least.</p>

<p>Ahhh, that’s right, it must’ve been second last. I think that controversial cube area/surface area question that was A^3/2 or A^2/3 was the last one.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question 3a/2b = 9/5?</p>

<p>Also–a lot of people are saying f(0)=-5. I think that was C. Was there an option that said f(0) = -1?</p>
