Official May 2008 SAT discussion

<p>Thanks, I'll add you :). I'm in US history, but I'm not really confident in it. (Taking the AP on friday). Precalc won't be until next year, but I like math, so I could always study for that on my own and take it in October.</p>

<p>Yeah. Def do math2. I have Calc AB on Wed, APUSH Friday, APCHEM Tuesday, and APLATIN on the 22nd. We have to make up Latin b/c we have off on the 16th. Lolz at our district. Is form B harder?</p>

<p>Although this makes sense either way, I recall it being "only" one language in the text, and I believe that you may have misread it. (I don't think I missed any on the Math)</p>

<p>I got a 780 in October, so I would also like to get an 800 (Retook because of CR and Writing though eck... 2220)</p>

<p>Anywho, the method to get six was based off the equations:</p>

<p>I+3=G
I+G+B=30
I+G=B <- and this equation was the one in doubt, I believe
(could be I=B or G=B).</p>

<p>If this was true, there are actually 3 possible answers: 6,9, and 8.
I don't believe the collegeboard would have purposefully allowed two answers
for this question, so my instinct tells me that 6 was in fact correct.</p>

<p>^ I think no one of us can be sure of what that question was supposed to mean. I personally went for the answer 6 considering that the question was in the middle of the section which means it's not supposed to be difficult.</p>

<p>Omg that question was the very last one on my math section.........</p>

<p>That question was definetely the last one in its section...100%</p>

<p>^yup, it was..i know</p>

<p>I think it was in the middle. It could have been in the "grid-in" section and be the last bubble question, though. I'm not sure.</p>

<p>i think the answer to the German and Italian question was 6.
21 kids took Italian and 24 took German (21+24=45, and 45=15[the number of kids with one class] +2(15) [the number of kids with two classes])
with that in mind, you can subtract the number of kids who took both classes, 15, from 21. so the answer is 6</p>

<p>Last one on my math section too.</p>

<p>I put 9? I think. Oops.</p>

<p>lol the answer to the babies question was 89. the question stated: june 15th was the day in june when the most babies were born. if there were 89 babies born in june what is the most number of babies that could have been born on june 15th.........NO WHERE IN THE QUESTION DOES IT STATE THAT A BABY HAD TO BE BORN ANY OTHER DAY IN JUNE PERIOD. Common Sense.</p>

<p>@kdenn21 Lol, dude it said "LEAST" number of babies on one day...</p>

<p>nope it actually said the most..</p>

<p>Dude it had the word "least" underlined...</p>

<p>kdenn: it said the least. the answer was 4.</p>

<p>ok if it really said least..explain to me how the answer is 4.</p>

<p>June 15: 4 babies
27 of the other days in June: 3 babies/day
2 of the other days: 2 babies/day</p>

<p>4 was the answer</p>

<p>Well, it is 89 babies in 30 days. If each day had 2, then that would mean one day would have 31 babies (a bit too much).
We move on to 3 a day, yields 2 for the remaining day, but we know that that remaining day HAS to have more babies than the others. Therefore, we just make 2 days out of the 29 have 2 babies, and the other 27 have 3 babies, leaving the 15th (I think) with 4 babies.</p>

<p>The key to this question is that the other days don't all need to have the same number of babies per day.</p>

<p>hi everyone.</p>

<p>ive read through the thread and people have been saying that they put 122 as an answer for a math grid in. i dont remember putting that. does anyone remember what the question was?</p>
