October 2010 Math SAT Thread

<p>Can someone please tell me some of the questions in experimental section were? I searched the thread and I all got was that the grid in wasn’t the experimental and that the dice question & the hallway locker question aren’t in the experimental section.</p>

<p>teddy…ok, gotcha so the answer is 290…now I believe you! Let’s hope I put that as the answer…</p>

<p>Dice one was 1/54:
Four ways to get 17 or 18
6,6,6
5,6,6
6,5,6
6,6,5</p>

<p>4/6^3</p>

<p>11-4x-y…could have been. I’m terrible of remembering the exact form of the answer. But it was something like that…it could have definitely been 4x, don’t remember, sry.</p>

<p>alol @ the guy who claims 1/54 is right because his friend put it and got an 800 last time and on Math II. So did I, I put 1/108 (which is probably wrong) but that doesn’t make me right automatically does it?</p>

<p>For the question about a/b=2/3, the answer was 3 I think? I don’t remember the question too well.
Pentagons with toothpicks is 5.
Height of the cube is 1 (2<em>.5</em>1)
Third side of the triangle is between (not including) 10 and 14.</p>

<p>And honestly, coming from someone who considers themselves strong at math, I thought that this was harder than usual. Not that it was hard (only one that I know I possibly got wrong was the terribly-worded dice problem,) but it just felt harder than I remembered SAT math being. There were a few problems that I actually had to stop and think about for a second, I wasn’t able to breeze through it all as quickly as I did before. Anyone have an idea what -1 would be? 780 or 770?</p>

<p>@ccessu order doesn’t matter though. only one of the 3 dice has to be a 5 and the other two 6 to get 17.</p>

<p>it was -11-4x-y 100% sure…and also…how much would like -3 or 4 be???</p>

<p>Any guesses on how it’ll be scored yet?
-1 = 790?, -2 = 770…throwing out numbers here. Ideas?</p>

<p>Galib, was the answer to that one choice B?</p>

<p>What was the one about the area of the shaded figure. Origianlly it was 10 , so what was the new figure.</p>

<p>This math is hard, ■■ that 1/54 or 1/108 question,
also for sure, again 1mil% it is NOT 11-3x-y
the curve should be 790-770</p>

<p>The reading is also hard (my friend who scored 780, 800 before said it’s hard so…) 800-800-800-800-790. </p>

<p>Writing is damn easy, the curve should be harsh.</p>

<p>it was 5 for the toothpastes one.</p>

<p>and 290 for the Hall B one:
Hall B 9th graders:
155 + 0.2x + 25 = x
x = 225 // Total 9th graders</p>

<p>225 * 0.2 = 45 // 9th graders hall b</p>

<p>Total Hall B’s:
45 + 100 + 70 + 75 = 290</p>

<p>a/b = 2/3 is two I think</p>

<p>for the shaded figure one, i put in the same number as an answer that the question gave us. coz if the row of shaded squares had an area of 10, wouldn’t rearranging those same squares give you the same area? or am i missing some info/looked over something.</p>

<p>yeah i think it was B…not 100% sure</p>

<p>Anyone know the answer to the absolute value inequality question?</p>

<p>@webass: it’s 3: 2/3, 4/6, 6/9
@ all: 290 is 100% correct, it’s the total of hall B, and 45% is of grade 9
also, it is NOT 11-3x-y, any confirmation?</p>

<p>1 10char!!</p>

<p>a/b = 2/3 is two I think</p>

<p>was 3 bro.</p>

<p>2/3 4/6 6/9</p>

<p>@clavul: 1</p>
