November 2012 International SAT1 Discussion Thread

<p>I see. I kind of messed up on one section of my writing, so I was hoping it would be the experimental one… Do you happen to remember how many no errors you had in the writing section?</p>

<p>For Math, did you get 16 for the two square one?</p>

<p>For question 20 in the 25 minute all MC math section, what answer did you guys get?
The question asked about the area under the line y=4 and above y=x^2. The conditions were something like:
I. xy < 0
II. y > x
III. Absolute value of x < 2</p>

<p>I just finished. The essay wasn’t too bad, I used 2 people examples and 1 iffy book example. Writing wasn’t too bad, CR was not bad either and Math was decent except for the 20min section. Normally I have time to spare for each section but I ran out of time! I think the square one has some trick involved and I didn’t have time for the rectangle one…</p>

<p>I remember 1 48 in MC for the grid in section but dont really remember grid ins.</p>

<p>Math112358 it was II and III</p>

<p>Oh thank god; I wasn’t sure if the area contained the boundary, or if it contained everything besides the boundary. For the question with the two squares I tried dividing 64/4 in my head and got 18 -_-</p>

<p>@over2100 can’t remember, but I think only one, and yes I got 16 for the two square q</p>

<p>Kay, so barring any idiotic mistakes, I left 2 blank (ran out of time).</p>

<p>Curve estimates for Math?</p>

<p>It’s funny, I find CR so much easier than math even though I’m advanced a few years in school math.</p>

<p>Writing…I thought it went okay too. Ugh, math :(</p>

<p>how do u guys find the essay? I really think it’s too hard .</p>

<p>Which of the reading sections was the experimental one?! I hope the first! :(</p>

<p>Can anyone help me in these math questions:</p>

<p>1- A rectangular prism with height 11 and volume 10. How many 3-by-3-by-2 will fit completely in it? I put 5 but I think the answer is 6…</p>

<p>2-The other one was the last math one, where they give you coordinates about a rectangular (-2, t) and (5, t + 2)
What was the perimeter? I put 36 but I think it was 32… DAMN!</p>

<p>3- The girl with the balloons? 2 or 3 of 3 colors and 1 of 2 of green. I put 4</p>

<p>I feel so stupid… This isn’t like me</p>

<p>4 and 5 are right! Skipped the perimeter one :(</p>

<p>@Guille19 The height was 4 and the length was 14 so you’re right.</p>

<p>So the 3 I said are good?! Omg thank you!!! </p>

<p>What about the quadratic function and the function of y = 4?</p>

<p>Was E the answer? (I, II, and III)</p>

<p>anyone remember the 2nd to last question on the 10 minute writing m/c? It said something like: Librarians have to follow a strict policy something something and I put “by which prohibits…”</p>

<p>also for the 102 integers starting from -2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 … why would it be -52? can someone explain this in detail</p>

<p>@Guille19 None of them were right.
I. xy > 0 —this isn’t right because x can be negative
II. y > x —this can’t be right because x can be something like 0.5 and y would be .5^2 = .25
III. |x| < 2 —this isn’t right because |x|<=2</p>

<p>Edit: Fixed I.</p>

<p>I think this you did another SAT test mcdoes because I don’t remember watching that.</p>

<p>And also, the answers were (for my question)</p>

<p>And you got confused Mathh1123</p>

<p>It was:</p>

<p>I. xy > 0, not xy < 0</p>

<p>But I guess you are right… I didn’t considered that X could be negative!! Stupid me -_-</p>

<p>X can’t be equal to 2 because it’s not in the shaded region. It was the intersection with Y =4 and that doesn’t counts.</p>

<p>What about the last gridding section?</p>

<p>How many times does y = 1 intersects he grap of |f(x)|?</p>

<p>I put 4, but I think it was wrong… To easy for a hard question :(</p>

<p>@Guille19 Well then the answer would be III only which wasn’t one of the options.</p>

<p>for the quadratic math question, I answered that II and III are correct
@runningpop, I think you mistyped the question</p>

<p>I. xy> 0 - this is wrong because can be negative while y is always positive</p>

<p>II.y>x^2- correct</p>

<p>III. |x| < 2- correct</p>

<p>I am pretty sure of my answer</p>
