November SAT discussions (international)

<p>The answer to the maths and science students was 90 because in order to find the total no. of students we needed to deduct the no. of students who were in both the classes.
EDIT:The question didn’t specify if the students were science only or maths only all it said was that they were maths and science students.</p>

<p>I got that value for x wrong ,this was the only mistake
2p<x<3p ,I put 2.4 because I didnt realize I was looking for a %</p>

<p>yes it is 90 u can’t add all</p>

<p>was there a 5000 in one of the grid-ins?</p>

<p>how was the essay?
i used the discovery of an atom as one of my examples… what were your examples?</p>

<p>yes it was 5000 and it was the 1st one in grid ins. also i remember getting the naswer 36 2 times in the 1st section of math. once for the question number 15 that asked how many integers btw 9 and 100 . have their units digit greater than the tens . and another 36 was for question number 18 that asked for the angle x in a circle that had a part shaded</p>

<p>Yes, for Q.15 the answer was 36 but i don’t remember the answer for the other question.</p>

<p>another question for math,</p>

<p>there was a xy plane and on it a triangle with a base parallel to the x axis</p>

<p>the point on the left was (2,4) and the one at the top was (5,8) I think</p>

<p>two of the lengths were equal, I think the left one and the base but i’m not so sure</p>

<p>we were supposed to find the coordinates of the third point on the right</p>

<p>I said (7,4), since the distance was supposed to be 5</p>

<p>what did you all say?</p>

<p>I think the answer was (8,4) rather than (7,4) or at least that’s what i chose.</p>

<p>could someone give a summary of CR so far?
and I still have MUCH wonders abt the reading part, for I need to decide whether to cancel my scores…
anyone have some ideas abt the robot writing?</p>

<p>I remember a Q in critical reading that had something to do with ‘quintessential’?</p>

<p>Does College board announce which are the experimental sections before the scores are officially online ?</p>

<p>hey did you guys have about hydrogen fuel ting in section 9???</p>

<p>cuz i didn’t have indian writer thing on there so…</p>

<p>i got 4 suqred root of 2 as well. thats wrong?</p>

<p>In one of the grid-ins (for the answer 40/3), I put 13.3 instead (in its rounded form). Is this still correct?</p>

<p>And can anyone clarify on the writing question about 1980s people and sitcoms? I was stuck between ‘should be’ or just simply no error at all.</p>

<p>my answers for grid-in. sorry, i don’t rmb what all the questions were.</p>

<ol>
<li>5000 (6250-1250)</li>
<li>5/12</li>
<li>21people (15+7-1)</li>
<li>7</li>
<li>210degrees (3*180-330)</li>
<li>12</li>
<li>40/3</li>
<li>160minutes (tank A=900-2.5m; tank B=200+2.5m)</li>
<li>48% (2x<p<3x; answer may vary)</li>
<li>24 (f(4x4)=f(4)+f(4)=12+12)</li>
</ol>

<p>my friend wrote the march SAT in US and said he saw
entire sections in this one that were identical.</p>

<p>I think math grid-in answers of knx are all correct. Cannot believe I overlooked the percentage symbol >"< </p>

<p>Does anyone remember the writing question about “desert” with a choice " to some" ?</p>

<p>2009 NOVEMBER SAT WAS THE SAME TEST AS 2009 MARCH (US ONLY) SAT!!</p>

<p>omg why is her hair length 5? i put 7 ■■■</p>

<p>her hair grew 2cm/month
start:5 <– ans
first month:7
second (given):9
third (given):11</p>

<p>EDIT:i don’t seem to be able to edit my previous post anymore, so here’s an update for math grid-in</p>

<ol>
<li><p>5000
difference between terms (6250-1250)</p></li>
<li><p>5/12
?</p></li>
<li><p>21
15th from front of line
7th from back of line
15+7-1 = 21 people in line</p></li>
<li><p>7
?</p></li>
<li><p>210
angles u+v+w = 330
3 supplementary angles
x+y+z = 540 - 330 = 210 degrees</p></li>
<li><p>12
?</p></li>
<li><p>40/3
two triangles with equal base have areas with ratio 3:4
the smaller one has height 10
.5bh1 / .5bh2 = 3 / 4
(4/2)bh1 = (3/2)bh2
2(10) = (3/2)h2
h2 = 20/(3/2) = 40/3 = 13.3</p></li>
<li><p>160
tank A transfers [fuel?] at a rate of 2.5gallons/min to tank B
initial volumes: A=900; B=200
how long will it take for tank A to hold 100 gallons less than B
A = 900-2.5m; B = 200+2.5m
B-100 = 900-2.5m
(200+2.5m)-100 = 900-2.5m
800 = 5m
m = 160 minutes</p></li>
<li><p>48% (2x<p<3x; answer may vary)
…can’t come up with a clear explanation atm.</p></li>
<li><p>24
given: f(ab) = f(a) + f(b); f(4) = 12
what is f(16)?
f(4x4)=f(4)+f(4)=12+12=24</p></li>
</ol>
