<p>@thenerdyjew are u sure it was that?</p>
<p>So, I have a quick question about the format of this particular SAT. In the past, I’ve only gotten one math section with grid answers per test. For some reason, I had two grid sections on this SAT. Happen to anyone else or am I the only one? Or maybe this is just normal? Any answers would be greatly appreciated! :)</p>
<p>hi, so just to confirm my suspicions…</p>
<p>section 1 - essay
prompt: something about the smartest people helping people…?</p>
<p>section 2 - math, i remember problems
w + 2x + y = 10
2w +2x +2y = 10
x= 5</p>
<p>3^x=k and 3x^2x-1 in terms of k
k=3x^2 or something, it was A.</p>
<p>can everyone confirm that they had these problems for sure?</p>
<p>section 3 - math (experimental???)
i dont remember any problems on this one except I think there was some inscribed things on the last problem…</p>
<p>section 4 - writing</p>
<p>section 5 reading</p>
<p>section 6 math
grid in’s
answers were things like</p>
<p>1600, 54, 9/22</p>
<p>section 7 reading</p>
<p>section 8 reading</p>
<p>section 9 math
i think had problem where you are given a plane and a length of a square side and had to find area???</p>
<p>section 10 writing</p>
<p>anyone else have this test? anyone else can confirm that section 3 with the hard problems with the experimental?</p>
<p>did everyone have the questions i had in section 2?</p>
<p>Did anyone else do the x in terms of k question by plugging in values?
I’m pretty sure I got 3x+3, because I plugged in 2 and got 9. But I can’t remember what the problem exactly was…
Actually I have no idea how the problem worked but there’s no way I missed that one. Haha.</p>
<p>Math:
(-1,3)
3 ordered pairs
x+y=6
9/22
cube=54
x=5
slope = -2/7
whale= ⅛
sum of something = -3
165 minutes
median-avg = 0
ratio of markers to reststops = 2:1
|w-500|less than/equal to 30
max perimeter = 33
don’t remember question, but 48
temperature approximation = 130
another question, 330
grid in function = 9/6
halfsquare = 128
diagonal of square = rad130 about 11.4
length AC = 2xrad3
volume cone = 12pi
number of line segments to connect points = 6
y = 65 degrees
roman numeral question = I,II, and III
greatest value = a+b</p>
<p>If anyone remembers anything else, please add to this!</p>
<p>Wow, I’m surprised at CC. The yo-yo 1950-1951 question was almost certainly “physicists discovered the mechanism responsible for spinning objects” (or something like that). It asked what the author implies happened during that period. And he distinctly said “They did not buy more yo-yo’s because they were excited about new principles of circular motion” (or something of the sort). This refers <em>directly</em> to his earlier argument with dinosaurs–how their groundbreaking research did not impact the public’s newfound obsession with dinosaurs. So, the answer was clearly the choice with “physicists” in it.</p>
<p>Also, can someone refresh me on the 165 minutes question?</p>
<p>No you misunderstood the passage: yes, they WERE NOT excited about circular motion, verifying his belief that, although it would be nice, people do not like dinosaurs due to new findings. He rather said the truth was found where “many can be: in commercialism” therefore the yoyo examPle falls under this argument and he implied that marketing techniques were employed or something. Because he said SOMETHING changed that made people want yoyos, and it wasn’t excitement about circular motion. Since he is discussing commercialism here it logically follows that this is what he implied changed.</p>
<p>Woa woa woa ^</p>
<p>I think you misunderstood that one. I’m pretty sure if you were given the question again, you would see that, even if not “commercial strategy”, it was definately not “new circular motion”.</p>
<p>The whole point he was making that even though none of the new research was increasing the dinasours’ popularity, they still managed to escalate. Compare yo-yo’s with dinosaurs, and the yo-yo’s “new principles” with the the dinosaurs’ “research”. He was making a point that neither was popular due to new discovery, but for commercialization.</p>
<p>Guys, I think I had the experimental CR section; judging on these posts, no one has mentioned it yet so I think it’s the section with a passage on animal play studies. There were two passages with different views on the meaning behind animals playing when they’re young, and the studies done on it. Something like that!</p>
<p>And if I’m remembering correctly there were also short passages about creative writing workshops and aspects of a becoming a creative writer</p>
<p>whoa I remember the answer choice was that it gave rise to modern advertisement or something. We couldnt infer that from the passage so it was increased demand for yo yos</p>
<p>The answer to the humpback whale question was 1/8, but for some reason I can’t remember what it actually asked. Any help?</p>
<p>for the cuttlefish one, it used an incorrect of preposition (correct me if im wrong). It was like scientists… information of. It should be information about? and the two chanellor questions… What did you guys put for the Thatcher one. Was it earning or no error. Im scared that it may be earning because it was ambiguous. It referred to sciences, earning. not the actual person.</p>
<p>@facebook It asked the fraction of humpback whales recorded out of all the whales</p>
<p>@GoodJobBro and Divy1234: You are both misunderstanding my point. I’m pretty sure the question was something like, “What does the author suggest happened between 1950 and 1951?” It did NOT, in fact, ask what made the yo-yo popular between 1950 and 1951. He specifically mentioned the founding of new principles of circular motion and implied that the research occurred during this period but did not affect the popularity of the yo-yo. The author was basically saying, “New principles of circular motion were discovered during this period, but these principles were not responsible for the rise in popularity of the yo-yo.” Within the lines cited for the question, the “physicists” answer was the most pertinent and thus the best choice.</p>
<p>EDIT: I also think that other choices like “gives rise to modern advertisement” were either completely unrelated to the point of the passage or contained an element that made them wrong. It was certainly a tough question, but I think many of you were distracted by the commercialism answers when he was clearly implying that some research on circular motion occurred during the period (but did not affect the yo-yo’s popularity–the whole idea of the passage).</p>
<p>Okay for math,
I reduced 9/6 and wrote 3/2. Is that okay?</p>
<p>And wasn’t the volume of the cone 15pi?!</p>
<p>^ I’m pretty sure I got 12pi.</p>
<p>(1/3)pi(r^2)h</p>
<p>=(1/3)pi(3^2)(4)</p>
<p>=36pi/3</p>
<p>=12pi</p>
<p>Aww dang it!
it was such an easy problem I didn’t bother to check it.</p>
<p>Or may be I’m remembering it wrong?
Was
15pi a choice?
I think it was like C</p>
<p>I remember all the other answers had fractions and there was only one whole number… Was that 12 or 15?</p>
<p>For the apes passage, there was a question about how the author’s “research” was</p>
<p>and the answer choice I picked was something like “proven wrong in the late 20th century” or something… did anyone get this?</p>
