<p>okay we had an issue with a math question on the october sat too and in my opinion, it was valid, but our attempts were futile bc collegeboard won’t do anything
save the time and energy and let it be </p>
<p>@Chrysanthemum2 i ommited 1 and got 2 wrong so what would that be? in math with a harsh curve?</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the triangle on the extended response one?</p>
<p>It was like angle y + angle z =?</p>
<p>I blanked on that one and couldn’t remember how to find z. But I assumed it was 120 degrees since x was 60 degrees. I put y + z = 250 degrees.</p>
<p>@Chrysanthemum2 100% sure it was 240</p>
<p>should be 240, which is what I think you meant to say @chrysanthemum14</p>
<p>@tp2016 </p>
<p>I’m a junior and this is my first time taking it. (Last time I took one was in 7th grade.) So I’m not sure. Just trying to guess based upon the general difficulty with each section.</p>
<p>If you plug in any case and combine the supplementary external angles, it will always result in 240</p>
<p>y + z is 240.</p>
<p>y + angle 1 = 180 --> y = 180 - angle1</p>
<p>z + angle 2 = 180 --> z=180 -angle 2</p>
<p>x + angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 (angles in a triangle add to 180)</p>
<p>angle 1 + angle 2 = 120 cause x = 60</p>
<p>y + z = 180 - angle 1 + 180 - angle 2</p>
<p>y + z = 360 - (angle 1 + angle 2)
y+= 360 - 120 = 240</p>
<p>@chrysanthemum14 aw youre close kiddo. it was 240 
One angle was 60 degrees.
The other angle was 180-z
Theo ther angle was 180-y
180-y+180-z+60=180
420-y-z=180
-y-z=-240
Multiply by -1
y+z=240</p>
<p>@tp2015 @chromodynamics </p>
<p>Angle y looked a bit bigger than angle z to me (so I thought angle y was 130 degrees) and it never said ‘not scaled’. But oh well it was a lucky guess. Just 10 degrees off lol</p>

While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, the October question was correctly written.</p>
<p>@skieurope yeah that’s your opinion. i thought the answer option was misleading which made me get it wrong for no reason. </p>
<p>For the roman numeral, I put all three are correct because I tried every single one of them and all of them are correct.
For the the X^2-Y, I put -2, and I am confident of this</p>
<p>You don’t have to worry about changing n. The problem was “the terms can be expressed as 2^n+1”, meaning that all terms can be written as 2^n+1 when n is a positive integer. Why would you bother to change value of n? If you change value of n you get different term that is still in the sequence.</p>
<p>the wait for nov 25 is just too long</p>
<p>What was the Oct question? I thought those were fine</p>
<p>The “play on words” is the correct answer IMO because there are metaphor, proverb, something else I don’t remember that was in there, and sarcasm. The author shows sarcasm that pen is mightier than sword, but even those pen and sword come from pencil. I didn’t see play on words on there. TBH IDK if I overthought it. If I did ■■■.</p>
<p>Does anyone else know any writing questions that were hard? I had two 35 question ones so I just died</p>
<p>@skieurope what do you think about this roman numeral question?</p>
<p>I put adviser because it makes sense.</p>
