October 2006 - SAT Math Thread

<p>what did eveyone get on the question where there were 2 equalateral triangles overlapping each other and the question asked for the total perimeter around the 2 triangles?</p>

<p>(it was a grid in..)
I put down 90.. i think i got it wrong tho</p>

<p>backfire...other people got 6 also. So I am quite sure I am right on this.
NoFX--yes 90 is right</p>

<p>Ok, i just worked it out again and I think I got it right.. 90 is the answer?</p>

<p>It is 90.</p>

<p>You're correct.</p>

<p>And backfire, it asked for the difference.. so it's 6</p>

<p>**** the sat i hope it f uc k ing goes to hell</p>

<p>I know i missed two...and im pretty sure that i got everything else right on the math. What score do you think that would put me at....the ranges in the back of the books i have suck.</p>

<p>Hopefully both of the questions were in the experimental section! Btw, any hints on what the experimental section was? Could it have been the one with the flag question?</p>

<p>backfire, i agree.</p>

<p>i hate the SAT.</p>

<p>Exactly why I took the ACT.</p>

<p>was one of the answers for a triange/pyramid multiple choice, (sqroot3)m/2 ?</p>

<p>damnit I missed the sunshine/rain question, I thought it was how many times more...so I put 1.5. Like an idiot. This math seemed a bit harder though... I'm hoping there will be a more generous curve.</p>

<p>800 so far baby! Rule of the majority is where all my answers are at!</p>

<p>**** stupid mistakes, **********<strong><em>fickity</em></strong>**</p>

<p>ight, i say we guess at what the curve was, since basically all the questions peps have probs with ahve been addressed. so yea</p>

<h1>right:score</h1>

<p>54:800
53:790
52:770
51:740
50:720
49:700
48:680
47:670....someone put more guesses up if they want. or not, i dont really care</p>

<p>Why was the pyramid one m/sqrt(2)?</p>

<p>Wasn't it a 30-60-90 triangle with the shortest side being m/2 and the hypotenuse being e (which = m). So the third side would have to be (m sqrt(3))/2</p>

<p>54 - 800, 53-800, 52- 780-790, ....</p>

<p>anyone think that math was that difficult that this would occur (realtive to past tests)?</p>

<p>or just what scads88 said?</p>

<p>I think a bit more leniant than what scads88 said. Because the April and May SAT math curves were considerably lenient than what scads88 said. And May was quite easy apparently.</p>

<p>thing is...54-800, 53-800...rarely happens, from what i've seen...</p>

<p>I doubt math will be curved... it was not extremely hard but I probably made some dumb mistakes again.</p>

<p>It is always curved, but it is curved before the test</p>
