Official jume 2012 SAT discussion (US)

<p>Texas one I put I and II only. 14.9-10.25 was less than 5.</p>

<p>You’re kidding me. That’s a good thing, then! I’m happy, just shocked.</p>

<p>Please help with post 32 if possible. hardest writing question IMO.</p>

<p>supercools: exactly. North carolina was the last of the leading states, so if it produced less than one, there had to be at least 5 more because the remaining amount was over 4 and each couldn’t produce a whole one because then they would be in the table. (each other had to produce less than NC)</p>

<p>^yeah thats what i thought ARobins.</p>

<p>At least I see my answers match up with a few. Whew</p>

<p>I put I, II, and III for the Texas one. Yes 14.9-10.25 was less than 5, but the smallest on the chart was ~0.75. 0.75 * 5 is less than 14.9-10.25.</p>

<p>In response to ARobin’s question in Post 23: I put E, no error, for the doctor question</p>

<p>Pretty confident that “for use in” had no error.</p>

<p>It never told you how much NC actually made though. If it made 0.99, then the rest of the states for all we know could have made 0.98. 0.98*5 is more than 4.1something.</p>

<p>The Texas one: there were less than 5, but more than 4. (4.2) so yes, it was all 3 correct</p>

<p>I thought it sounded awkward and needed to be changed to “to use in”</p>

<p>yea, but the graph included the states with the highest acres with cotton… so any other state would have less cotton than the state with the least cotten in the graph… The last state on the graph only had like .75 of the cotten symbol, so each of the other 5 states would have to have less than that… 14.9 - 10.25= 4.65 , 5 x .75= 3.75</p>

<p>To supercools: Even if it made 0.9, which it was less than 0.9 in my opinion, then 0.9*5 is 4.5 while 14.9-10.25 is 4.65.</p>

<p>You had to use the image , NC clearly had less than.8</p>

<p>@Overide I put I and II only. III was a fallacy in reasoning – just because one state had the lowest value as .75(1 million) doesn’t mean that 5 states will have the same values</p>

<p>EDIT: wait it said highest acreages???</p>

<p>also there was like number 6 in writing ( i think its experimental)</p>

<p>that asked for whereby and whereof …</p>

<p>any thoughts on that one?</p>

<p>does anyone remember the reading passage with the “retrieve” vocab question? (does it mean recover or remember?) and in that same passage, what was the other vocab in that section?</p>

<p>also for the critics was it really snide? I was leaning towards pedantic…</p>

<p>@Swoony That my reasoning also.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure I ha an experimental math but I’m
Not sure which one it was…in hoping it was the first math section</p>

<p>I thought the Texas one was a bit odd. I don’t know how they expected us to figure out how much acerage each state had. I put I,II, and III though, which I am pretty sure was correct. I am a bit worried about the c+d+e+f+g (triangle grind-in) because I think I accidentally put 240. I remember working it out and getting 360, but atm I keep thinking I put 240. Hopefully I am wrong because the Math section will likely have a harsh curve as always.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the math said “highest acreage” for the texas problem???</p>

<p>Also, SAT100, one of the answers was 240 (the perimeter problem with 60, 80, 100 in the first quadrant of the graph). If you only remember putting one 240 down, you’re good</p>
