November SAT Math problem

<p>Hi, so I was wondering what you guys put for the problem where it asks for what was the max amount of people who scored 4 points when you have 11 people who scored either 1,2,3 or 4 and whose total number of points must equal 28. </p>

<p>I have looked at all the threads on cc + plum and it seemed like the consensus was that the max was 5. However, I was wondering what the collegeboard meant by people scoring either 1,2,3 or 4 goals? Does that mean that at least one person must score 3 once? If so that would make the answer 4, and nearly everyone I know who have achieved perfect scores or close in math would be wrong...</p>

<p>Does anyone have any insight into the wording of this problem?</p>

<p>I think the problem can be interpreted either way tbh… I put 5, like the majority of people here, but one poster insisted it had to be 4 because each possible score (1, 2, 3, and 4) had to be scored at least once; that person even said he/she saw it on a previous Q&A SAT test so I honestly don’t know. That’s the only question I’m having doubts about in Math so I’m just prayinggg the answer’s 5.</p>

<p>It is a 5. I’m from India and I didn’t have that question in my test, but I’m pretty sure that it is 5.</p>

4

<p>“Everyone scored 1,2,3, or 4 goals” doesn’t necessarily imply that at least one person scored 1 goal. Same with 2, 3, or 4.</p>

<p>For example, consider the statement, “Every person in the room is male or female.” Then the following statements are true:</p>

<p>“Person 1 is male or female.”
“Person 2 is male or female.”
…
“Person n is male or female.”</p>

<p>Of course, everyone being the same gender wouldn’t violate the original statement.</p>

<p>I put 5…</p>
