Official May 2008 SAT discussion

<p>"Soooo... the Math section with the babies on June 15th was experimental right?" </p>

<p>Nope :&lt;/p>

<p>are you sure the reflected across the x axis is 5?</p>

<p>^ I hate that question. Effing babies.</p>

<p>Was y=3x the answer to the question that asked for a line that was not in quad. II and III?</p>

<p>So far I got the babies question wrong and the 4 circles one wrong...I omitted the Italian/German one, lol, and one other one...i hope those are the only ones!</p>

<p>^ yeah thats what i put. The other one (y = 3x + 3) crossed into one of the other quadrants</p>

<p>Yeah Joe, I just put them all into my calculator and graphed them, lol. THis is probably why I didn't have time to finish one section.</p>

<p>Yeah, I did it the same way.. lol..</p>

<p>was the reflection across the x axis 3?</p>

<p>Are you talking about the ? that had that crazy line?</p>

<p>I got 5...i think thats what the majority here has been too.
lol @ u guys graphing with your calculator...just think about it! it took me like 2 seconds. calculator mustve taken at least a minute...</p>

<p>I am really paranoid when I take the SATs.. I make sure I do everything possible to ensure that my answers are right.. lol.. but yeah I know what you mean since the y intercept is 0 and it was a pos. slope then you can easily tell it did not cross the other two quadrants..</p>

<p>Yeah, it's y=3x.</p>

<p>Pretty darn sure of it. ^
I wish they hadn't marked the quadrants... that would have made it a little harder for some people. :p (jk).</p>

<p>Haha, yeah, I actually thought that when I was reading the question. Like yay! I know which quadrant is which, then I looked at it, and they were marked >.></p>

<p>^ My thoughts exactly.</p>

<p>I'm curious. In the US, do you study all these SAT Math concepts in grade 11/12? Because, here in India, I've most of these things in grade 9, and the rest in grade 10. I hate the education system here, though.</p>

<p>This is Grade 9, 10... (possibly 11) stuff.
So the thing in South Asia when people say 'studying abroad is easy and white people are stupid'... (<--- okay, maybe not, lol.) is a big fat white slimy LIE.</p>

<p>:/</p>

<p>Oh man...
Didnt the question require an equoation that, if drawn, wouldnt be negative? >.<
I chose x=3 -<em>-
My first mistake -</em>-</p>

<p>^ SERIOUSLY?
That was such an EASY question... </p>

<p>lol, sorry, I was going to fall for that trap too.
It's okay Rangzen. -1 can still equal 800. :)</p>
