OFFICIAL October 8, 2005 SAT I Forum

<p>xeal, are you sure it's A? because I got the same answer, but i think i chose something like c, or d</p>

<p>I got 3.1</p>

<p>Q: If there are 44 students taking math and 60 students taking science, and 14 students taking both, how many are taking math science or math and science?</p>

<p>Q: If there are either trays with cups, trays with plates, or trays with both, and there are 15 plates and 11 cups, and 25 trays total, how many trays hod both cups and plates?</p>

<p>(My numbers are probably wrong)</p>

<p>Yeah, I swear I've done some of the sentence completion questions on practice tests. It felt like deja vu. Anyone else feel the same?</p>

<p>i had no wildlife reading passage in africa... nor did i have the community college one, or whatever, so both those are experimental..</p>

<p>does anyone know what the various ex. math sections were? I had 4, but didn't have the one w/ 3 intersecting shaded triangles, or the com. college... anyone else have 4 maths but none of those? which section was experimental?</p>

<p>did people have the question w/ the 2 concentric circles, and finding arc length? i'm trying to figure out which section of mine was exp..</p>

<p>but i had string theory passage too, that was real</p>

<p>reykjavic: "did people have the question w/ the 2 concentric circles, and finding arc length? i'm trying to figure out which section of mine was exp.."</p>

<p>yeah i did.
HOW are we supposed to know which one's experimental??</p>

<p>What was the her moving to London and living there grammar question?</p>

<p>I thought it was she moved there in like 1960 something and has since then been living in North London. i thought it was has because shes still living there?</p>

<p>also, what about the SC with the JOhn Adams biography that rendered other books on the subject (something). What was that something - choices were conclusive, prohibitive, and like sufficient i think</p>

<p>I had the 2 concentric circles question so that section must not be experimental.</p>

<p>i've always wondered, during and after reading these SAT threads: where the heck are all the people with "photographic" memories?</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question about a triangle and a rectangle? and you had to find ( i think ) the area of the rectangle??</p>

<p>what was the answer to the problem that had the inscribed triange with one side x and the base of the smaller triangle was 4 ? I put 8 because it said the sides were 2x for the big one...</p>

<p>anyone remember this problem ?</p>

<p>there's no real way to figure out which one is experimental. there should be 3 sections of each (don't forget to include essay), plus one experimental. so, if you had 4 sections of one type, like, for me, math, than one of those was experimental. now the hard part is figuring out which section it was... how bout htis...</p>

<p>did anyone have teh question where you had to find teh probability of n satisfying the equation 5n+3<=14 where n is less than or equal to 10 (posative integer)? i didn't read the "or equal to", so i hope it was exp... please....</p>

<p>yes, the inscribed tri. question was 8.... 4/x = y/2x... xs cancel, equals 8</p>

<p>joshb110- 70/3
blacktaxi- i got 8 as well. i don't know if it's right or not</p>

<p>Has any one read Brian Greene's book "the fabric of the cosmos" before? the passage about stringtheory is from one chapter from that book and I just read it recently. I almost cracked up when I found out and it's like the best thing anyone could hope to expect on the SAT reading.</p>

<p>it's definitely 8 but that's experimental i believe so it doesn't matter.</p>

<p>hmmm i forget if i got 70/3 crap.. do you remember how you solved it?</p>

<p>i too got 8.....hmm....not sure if anyone already did this, but here were my grid-in answers....not sure if they are right or not though.....</p>

<p>10
1/? (i apparently forgot to punch in a number)
130
24
300
4
2/3
9.5
2491
*70/3</p>

<p>Reykjavic, i had that question, i and a couple of my friends all got 1/5 for that one, because only 1, 2 satisfy that inequality.</p>

<p>oh ok thanks fromdistantstar and Raykjavic ! i had to reassure myself...</p>

<p>what are the curves like on these tests ? last time i took the sat i got a 720 on math, but i thought i only missed at most 3 or 4...this time im pretty sure the most i got wrong was maybe 1 or two, although i thought i got perfect just some mistakes somewhere prolly due to time constraint</p>
