November SAT test A Thread

<p>As aforementioned, writing is my worst section. I honestly hope that it was no error bungalow because that was my surmise. You sound like you know better so I’ll search for some information online now.</p>

<p>was the dolphin one experimental?</p>

<p>@Dentrix
It was basically 6+5+4+3+2+1=21
There are 6 lines for the first dot to connect to everything. There are only 5 lines for the second dot to connect to everything since it is already connected to the first dot. So on and so forth.</p>

<p>Could someone explain “y is x percent blah blah 4, x is y percent of blah” question? It’s a simple question, but I was so confused with wording -.-</p>

<p>the line question was each point to point that was not already connected.
ended up being: 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21</p>

I thought the question asked you how many lines it would take so that every point has a line connected to it, not necessarily that all points are connected.</p>

<p>Could someone explain “y is x percent blah blah 4, x is y percent of blah” question? It’s a simple question, but I was so confused with wording -.-</p>

<p>Here it is:</p>

<p>(x/100)y=4</p>

<p>well its the same thing as writing (xy/100)=4=(y/100)x=4</p>

<p>no it was all points connected.</p>

<p>the percent one was 4. plugging in answers was the easiest way to check it.
y percent of x is four. what is x percent of y, right?
4 percent of 100 is four. what is 100 percent of 4?
4.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks scorpius & spkrap!</p>

<p>@confused, these questions you HAVE to plug in numbers and keep them constant.
the question was like;
if x percent of y=4 what is y percent of x. Princeton review technique/common sense, plug in constant value. plug in x and y so the percent = 4 as stated in the problem</p>

<p>x percent of y=4 so
100 percent of 4=4</p>

<p>so now we have x=100 and y=4</p>

<p>so PITA (Plug in the answer)
what is y percent of x
in other words what is 4 percent of 100,
=4.</p>

<p>what question suppoedly had 35 as the answer but 55, which is what you solved for, had to manipulated?</p>

<h2>also, the math one where it was like</h2>

<p>x


/ </p>

<h2> /</h2>

<p>and the inside one was (something- anyone remember the degree)
and you had to solve for x?</p>

<p>@spkrap322
I am pretty sure it was 35. the one with the parallel lines
it had a broken triangle with the vertex 70, if you draw a line from the two parallel lines you get a right triangle. So 180-70=110. Since the interior angles of the triangle have to be the same 110/2=55. But x was the exterior angle so 55+x=90 x=35.</p>

<p>ah! the formatteing didnt work. why no keep spaces :O</p>

<p>I apologize; I am used to using 0 as a denominator in the sense of calculus as I am in multivariable calculus and linear algebra. In that context, 0 as a denominator usually refers to approaching infinity because it refers to limits, vertical asymptotes, critical points, and the abstract concept of bigger and smaller zeros. In the context of the SAT, it is no solution/not possible.</p>

<p>what about the one with the graph with the circle in it, it had a line tangent to the circle and passed through the orgin. It asked you to find the slope. -4/3?</p>

<p>ahhh i get youu. ^ I’m just in calculus.
[stupid limits.]</p>

<p>anyone remember the actual words to the langston hughes one?</p>

<p>[Grammar</a> Mishaps: lie vs. lay, lain, laid,](<a href=“http://chrishibbard.hubpages.com/hub/Grammar-Mishaps-lie-vs-lay--lain--laid]Grammar”>Grammar Mishaps: lie vs. lay, lain, laid, | HubPages)</p>

<p>This reference explicates the Langston question more lucidly. Although I am still not certain how to apply this information to the question, I now believe that the previous poster was correct and that the answer might be E.</p>

<p>That was 3/4 for the slope.</p>

<p>Did anyone get the 20 question math section where the last question consisted of three bullets where x is directly proportional to y, y is inversely proportional to z, etc.</p>

<p>dentrix:
I think i got 216 as well, it looks familiar
what was the question that lead you to get 4?
i also go 1001
the answer to this was 995 (25<em>39 + 20</em>1) = 995
i got 27, but 28 works as well!</p>

<p>June (4) July (6) August (9) September (13.5)
to get that take half of the preceding number and than add them together. or simply multiply by 1.5</p>
