*OFFICIAL PSAT THREAD 2014 (US)*

<p>system of three equations:</p>

<p>x+y+z = 180
x/y = whatever it was
y/z = whatever it was</p>

<p>@Antispirals‌ I put “doing it” as the error for the writing question, because it didn’t sound right and I think there was a preposition at the end of the sentence.</p>

<p>Was the error “from doing it” or no error</p>

<p>@946130‌ Oh ok, thank you</p>

<p>@icequeenforever it said that x y and z are in the proportions of x/y=2/3 and y/z=3/5 so the ratio of x to y to z would be 2:3:5 and then since it’s a ratio it would be 2a:3a:5a and it’s a triangle so 2a+3a+5a=180 a=18 x=2a so x=36</p>

<p>If it did in fact ask what number of total people in the group were Chinese, like you say, it’s be even simpler to fin out the answer 10%*300=30</p>

<p>There was an answer in the invention passage about (1st one) about the type of invention and one of the answers
had to do with “she never felt the frustration”. What was the right answer?</p>

<p>@Mango920452‌ Error was “from doing it”. Sentence can’t end with a preposition.</p>

<p>Was the math portion relatively easy or hard? It’s the one that concerns me the most.</p>

<p>Ok thanks. I can’t reme if I changed my answer to doing it, but I most likely got that wrong</p>

<p>@Antispirals‌ @Mango920452‌ Never mind, “it” is not a preposition, but “from doing it” is still the error. Just wanted to clarify.</p>

<p>I thought it was more difficult than the average PSAT test. I’ve taken all the PSATs ever and have gotten around 215 on all of them. The math and CR sections were relatively difficult. The writing was pretty standard.</p>

<p>@amck4321‌ I don’t remember putting that down as my answer, can you elaborate?</p>

<p>@amck4321 I narrowed it down between that and the one where she had like inspiration or something, and I chose the latter.</p>

<p>For the hexagon question number 20, was the answer 4sqrt3 (D)?</p>

<p>@SentientBacon‌ I agree that math was a killer. Reading wasn’t too bad, though. Writing was okay.</p>

<p>‘doing it’ should be ‘doing so’</p>

<p>@946130‌ I agree</p>

<p>For me cr was the killer; math and writing were relatively standard</p>

<p>@austin23‌ I think I put 8 radical 3.</p>
