November 2009 SAT Test Discussion

<p>@angel15 and Pierinadeluca- I recognize those questions and I got the same answers. </p>

<p>For the blue version, which writing section was experiment? i had two with improving paragraphs, one was about a “retail anthropologist” and one was about preserving buildings.***Nevermind I checked on another thread. If anyone else is wondering, the preserving buildings one was experimental (yay!)</p>

<p>On the blue version, section 3 (math), what did people get on the last question before the grid in questions?</p>

<p>It’s the question with the absolute values. The answer choices were: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 2, & 4.</p>

<p>I know it’s not an experimental because I had 4 CR sections.
Thanks.</p>

<p>the answer was 4</p>

<p>How many versions of the test are there?? A lot of these topics I’m not recognising at all! However, I did get CR children/influence of electronic entertainment etc but with different questions.</p>

<p>I took the test in the UK; do they give different tests abroad?</p>

<p>Did everyone get the same essay topic?</p>

<p>How is it 4?
I spent so much time trying to answer that question.</p>

<p>@ashley118</p>

<p>I pretty much plugged in different values for x and k and you get m=4 regardless of what you plug in</p>

<p>@pierinadeluca</p>

<p>Wait, is the question:
-4abs(-2k-x)= -2abs(-2k-mx)?
And we have to try to find m, if x and k can be any integer?</p>

<p>yesss i got that question right. ^</p>

<p>the 101st term question got me. sigh. well at least we don’t get points taken off for that one</p>

<p>@ashley118</p>

<p>yeah, that was the question. try plugging in any numbers for x and k, you’ll see that it works.</p>

<p>hey did you guys have hydrogen fuel things on section 9??</p>

<p>so i didn’t have something like indian programmer so…</p>

<p>this sat was so hard whatever :(</p>

<p>Okay so I got writing experimental, but which one is it?
One was with the passage about smiling/expressions, and the other one was about pyramids.</p>

<p>Yes I put that answer too!</p>

<p>for the reading section 9, for the vocabulary section there was a question about plants and wind or something…and my answer choice was “small…constant”
Did anyone else get that??</p>

<p>AND ALSO:
for reading section 9, the passage part about fuel cells and american dependence on foreign oil, one question asked “what would passage 1 most likely say about the “costs” in passage 2” or something.
And I put that passage 1 would say the efficiency of the fuel cells will overcome the costs…</p>

<p>I’m paraphrasing…but did you guys get something like that?</p>

<p>@raine2270</p>

<p>i got passage like that too!!</p>

<p>but everyone else saying they got indian programer writer?? thig,</p>

<p>im so confused…</p>

<p>@pierinadeluca</p>

<p>Sorry to keep bringing this up, but I don’t get 4 as the answer.
I tried k=4 and x=3 and I definitely don’t get 4=m</p>

<p>@raine2270- i also got pyramids. maybe thats experimental? (a lot of other people seem to have gotten smiles & i had both)</p>

<p>i got small and constant for that vocabulary question.</p>

<p>for the one asking about the snowflakes, i was torn between anecdotal and precipitous and uncorroborated and ephemeral…what did you guys put??</p>

<p>also, did anyone have the math section with that question where there was a dog and and an owner and the different ways for the dog to get to his owner? i put 10 but i also heard it could be 12…</p>

<p>@ stolenheart28</p>

<p>I got uncorroborated and ephemeral…</p>

<p>And for the dog owner one I put 8
O_______________O</p>

<p>WHAT DID OTHER PPL GET FOR THE DOG QUESTION?</p>

<p>There are 12 ways. He could go through the first wall 2 ways, the second wall 3 ways, the second wall again 2 ways (since he can’t repeat the way he took to the owner), then back to the starting room 1 way. So 2<em>3</em>2*1=12.</p>

<p>it’s 12, check in the math thread</p>
