October 2010 Math SAT Thread

<p>@naomikt. I don’t think 10 doesn’t work because the hypotenuse was an obtuse angle, so it has to be more.</p>

<p>Duh. ■■■. D:
Thanks guys, haha.</p>

<p><< Made a few stupid mistakes.</p>

<p>Did the 11-4x-7 question have a isleading wrong answer A that was 11-x-y ?</p>

<p>anyone know about the problem with the answer of 5/3 in the fill-in???HELP!</p>

<p>Oh btw guys you might know this already but if you don’t remember what you put for certain answers you can press 2nd enter on your calculator to retrace you calculations.</p>

<p>(repost) okay, so I don’t remember what my answer was for the 1080 one.</p>

<p>But this is how I worked it out:</p>

<p>the number of hours/week in 9th grade (1 week/5 days)(180 days/1year)=9th grade hours
the same for the rest of the grades and added it up</p>

<p>would I have gotten the right answer? not sure because in other posts people worked it out a different way. </p>

<p>please clarify this for me, I’m second-guessing myself.</p>

<p>What was 8000 the answer to?</p>

<p>I’m not sure I understand your logic… do you remember the wording of the 1080 question? I remember getting that answer, but I don’t remember how I got there.</p>

<p>I just tried that, and it just did my last math section before it started cycling again. Maybe because it turned off through my five reading/writing sections in a row? x.x</p>

<p>it was like what was the total amount of hours spent studying, I thinkkk.
I could check it myself but I don’t remember the numbers in the table.</p>

<p>Oh, and it gave you the average number per week? And asked the difference between the hours spent studying by 9th graders and 12th graders or something? I think I just did 180/5 = 36 and then multiplied it by each average per week. I wish I could remember the question better…</p>

<p>I remember the numbers in the table: 3, 6.75, 9.5, and 8.75 hours PER SCHOOL WEEK</p>

<p>Can someone explain how they got |xy| =/= 1 (E). Luckily I got that one right, but I just don’t understand how</p>

<p>what was 8000 the answer too?</p>

<p>After you solve the inequalities, Brostradamus, you get x>=2 and x<=7 (something like that) and for the other one you get y<=1 and y>=-5 or something, as you can see, in order for the absolute value to be one, both y values have to be 1, and there is only 1 positive or negative value present.</p>

<p>was the combinations of the two letter a’s and two letter b’s (EG, abba, baab,) question experimental?</p>

<p>stiglitz, I think it may have been. I don’t think I got that problem, which means it wasn’t a scored section. I had CR experimental…</p>

<p>@papapia</p>

<p>With those numbers wouldn’t you get 1008? Also are you guys sure that the 1080 questions wasn’t multiple choice?</p>

<p>Yeah, for some reason I completely messed up my inequality number line, but I still couldn’t get 1 or |xy|.Well I guess sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. </p>

<p>So would a -2 probably be ~760 on this test?</p>
