October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>in one of the CR sections, there was a dinosaur passage and one of the questions was how is “mired” used? was the answer choice stuck?</p>

<p>but why would you subtract 16 and then subtract 3? those 9 students wouldn’t be counted at all.</p>

<p>i put “stuck” but i was unsure</p>

<p>For the absence question: you need to take into account that the given stated that 5% of the school missed AT LEAST one day. Which means you need to add back 9 people (8 people missed 2, 1 person missed 3)from the 71 days that you get from 90 days - 19 days.</p>

<p>So the answer should have been 1600, in hindsight. =[</p>

<p>KennyP, the slope was 5 i think</p>

<p>what did everyone get for the free response question that was the half square…</p>

<p>i put 15</p>

<p>@deltron I think I got 1420 too…</p>

<p>I put stuck.</p>

<p>And for the absent question, I put 1800 because it said ATLEAST so I disregarded the extra info. So I am not sure.</p>

<p>And wasn’t the parabola question with the slope 5?</p>

<p>the vertex was (0,25) and the other point was (-5,0) so the slope should be 5.</p>

<p>ok mire means to stick in or entangle so stuck is correct. Did not take the test but just searched the definition LOLL.</p>

<p>i only subtracted 10. 8 for the 8 students that were counted 16 times and 2 for the 1 student that was counted 3 times.
i agree with blaaargh… it was 1600</p>

<p>Hi guys, </p>

<p>triangle 33?
students 1600?
cube 51?</p>

<p>what did you guys get for the esmeralda spalding question with the strikingly low instrument? I put that “with” was incorrect because you contrast something TO another thing, not with it.</p>

<p>for the students adding up… i got 1800 but i just added them all up, did some cross multiplying</p>

<p>what slope of 5 are u guys talking about? i remember a slope question and my ans was -2/7 but what is the quest with the slope of 5?</p>

<p>for the ape passages…number 8… did you put D i believe–the the difference was like commands as opposed to communication</p>

<p>anyone know what the writing experimental one was? freaking out here</p>

<p>colts89, i think i got 128 for that one. don’t remember why…</p>

<p>also, was the passage’s view on the assumption “hopelessly ambiguous” and another answer that he was trying to be reasonable (or something like that)</p>

<p>triangle 33, students 1600, cube apparently 54</p>

<p>Nope, cube was definitely 54. The 3 sides that you take off from removing the one cube are added by from the “inside” 3 sides that are exposed.</p>
