@NotAMathlete I was, I thought I remembered your name somewhere too! I guess it is a small world.
okay, this was from my first math section (section 2 overall):
consider an increasing sequence in which each term after the second term is the sum of the two preceding terms. The third term is 3 and the fifth term is 7. What is the value of the sixth term in the sequence?
I may be recalling this incorrectly, but if I am not, the answer should have been E, “Cannot be determined,” right?
Because if 3 is the third term, then 1 must be the first term and 2 must be the second term. So we have 1,2,3,…,7,…
To find the first term, you add 2 and 3 to get 5. But 5+3 does not equal 7, so you cannot determine an answer based on the given information. A lot of people I asked put “11” as the answer. Can anyone help me on this one?
I put “has not yet proven as of 2003”
Do you remember the other choices? I didn’t put indigenous because i thought the sentence was stressing the diversity and different perspectives during her travels, and indigenous doesn’t really address that.
I think I put “provincial.” I think other options were “astute”?
@herpinburpin
Ambiguous means:
open to more than one interpretation; having a double meaning.
or
unclear or inexact because a choice between alternatives has not been made.
I don’t think there was anything like that before the sentence, it seemed pretty clear to me.
i thought it was to support the previous statement because the line reference not only included the small impact, but also included the part in which the author says that nature comes back to normal again.
@prepdreams I think the pattern starts after the 2nd term, so it doesn’t apply for terms 1 and 2
@prepdreams you know that the 3rd number is 3 and the 5th number is seven
2, 1, 3, 4, 7 therefore the next number is 4+7=11
@Mango920452 Ayyyye! How did you do? I screwed up hard and got 214. 
Hoping my SAT will be better. @herpinburpin I’m not sure how it was an ambiguity. . .The two examples he talked about seemed pretty extreme. . I think the first had to do with a parasite decimating forests. . .:X On the authentic/music thing did anyone say anything about an unquestionable assertion or something?
@Mango920452
What I was thinking was that it was ambiguous in terms of the time frame. If referring to a short-term timeframe, then the assertion that nature allows few wildly unstable situations was wrong, because there are many cases in which that happens. But on a long-term scale, nature allows few wildly unstable situations.
@prepdreams that one was experimental i think… reply me back if you didn’t get math experimental please… to just check
@notamathlete it was the one about something not being proven as of 2003. @sherlockholmes7 put down another answer. However, I didn’t pick that one because it said as of 2003, which as already passed. I thought “had” would be the most appropriate because it already occurred in the past and is not continuing into the present.
@sherlockholmes7 i didn’t have that section.
@sherlockholmes7 ah, that’s annoying. I thought I remembered it saying that it was increasing. Oh well. Thanks
@NotAMathlete The two examples were extreme, but that’s not the ambiguity I was thinking of. One was about parasites devouring maple forests, the other was the rabbits overrunning Australia. Those examples served to clarify that he wasn’t talking about the short run, in which wildly unstable situations in nature are common, but rather talking about the long run, in which those wildly unstable situations will be gradually corrected.
@NotAMathlete 211, it sucks cause I got a question right and wrote it correct on the actual paper, which I saw when I got it back, but I inputted it wrong. (It was a grid-in). 
. But that’s behind us, I’m hoping for a better SAT score as well.
And I think it was unconditional assertion, and that’s what I put!
Anyone remember the math section with the rings of different colors? What was the color of the 51st ring?
red
@gustachurro I don’t think it was experimental. I had a 25 minute writing section for Section 5 and then another 25 minute writing section for Section 6 (and a 10 minute writing section for Section 10), so I am assuming that I had an experimental writing section. Is there a particular Section # that is the experimental one or no?
