My calculator was in degree mode during the SAT..?

<p>Will this have effected any of my answers? I got home, and realized my calculator was set in degree.</p>

2

<p>Only if you used trig. My calculator was too because I cleared it and degree is the default but I didn’t have any trig this time on the SAT.</p>

<p>If the question had angles in radians and you did not change the calculator settings from degree to radians, your answers will be affected. The SAT math questions related to angles usually have options with numbers that you would get had you been in the wrong setting. That is, if the question was in radians, and you calculated everything in degrees, you will likely still find one of the choices to match your calculations, but that answer is incorrect because 180 degrees = 2pi radians and they’re giving you an option to basically “trick” you if you weren’t paying attention to the unit conversion needed.</p>

<p>I didn’t get any in radians. I also didn’t do any trig, so yeah.</p>

5

<p>^^
180 degrees = pi
360 degrees = 2pi</p>

<p>^ Checkmate.</p>

7

<p>I took the regular SAT, not the subject tests, so I don’t remember seeing any trig, if any at all.</p>

8

<p>There is no trig on the sat.</p>
