Official US December SAT I Thread

<p>yeah there was one verbal section where i answered all of them. the last one was incorrigible in an analogy. i am sure that is not an experimental, though.</p>

<p>i'm 100% positive the answer is E.</p>

<p>i thought it was the last one. i don't remember. what was the full answer?</p>

<p>

michael_pham, i think the most exact way to do that one is just DO THE MATH, not plug in. i think the answer was E.

<p>Could you explain how to do the math?
I like learning shortcuts to problem.</p>

<p>I just played with 10,9,8,7 because 10's are always easy to play with.</p>

<p>no it was not the experimental cause i had incorrigble on mine n i only had 3 verbal</p>

<p>For the one about d>e>f>c or whatever, I plugged in 1,2,3 and 4 for the numbers and toyed around. The answer was either D or E, but I don't remember, really. It worked out perfectly.</p>

<p>its E im 100% possitive</p>

<p>Ok some notes:</p>

<p>-I do remember putting a "9" on the math grid. And from memory, that's the right answer I believe.</p>

<p>-61, 63 is right. The question said that if "n" was a prime number and you add "n + 2" so that number is a prime number, then what set (answer) would make this statement false. 61 is prime so that is right but when you add 2, that is 63 which is not prime.</p>

<p>-For the train problem, I got 1,000 feet. Reason being is that they said that the train was 200 meters and that it traveled at 20m/s. The moment that the front of the train entered into the tunnel to the time that the back of the train left the tunnel was 1 minute and 10 seconds. So this is what I did. I converted 1 min. and 10 seconds into 70 seconds total. Then I read the question carefully and it said "what is the distance/length of the tunnel." So, I took 200 meters(train) and divided that by 20m/s. So that equals 10 seconds and same thing when the train leaves the tunnel. So that's 20 seconds shaved off the 70 seconds. That leaves 50 seconds left. I multiplied that by 20 and got 1000. Correct me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p>-collegefreak87: I remember that question. I think the equation was: 0<a<b<6<g<k. And it said that the variables were integers so they had to be whole numbers. So the question asked what was the least value to add a+k. So lowest integer for a was 1 and lowest for k is 8. 1+8= 9. That's what I got.</p>

<p>-Oh and I sware I saw on the analogy section the SAME EXACT ones (not all) on the real 10 SAT's. I'm kicking myself in the head that I didn't study verbal on the 10 real SAT's.</p>

<p>-What in the world was that question about the Econobooks selling n travel books last year? How do you solve this to get how many n cookbooks they sold last year? This one boggled me.</p>

<p>-For that math problem with those lines and drawing a circle in it, I got the answer 7.</p>

<p>-The slope question with (2, b) and (10,0) to solve for (2, b) and (0,10) with those both having same slopes. I got the answer b= 8.</p>

<p>-And I agree with the poster above me. It is E- guaranteed.</p>

<p>yea, i thought it was E too. i don't know. maybe, i don't remember what i put.</p>

<p>yeh im not 100% postive of what I put down. I just remember I put down e>d>c in that order so whatever that answer choice was</p>

<p>the first letter appeared in the first three rows; the second in the first, second, and third rows; the third in the first, third, and fourth rows, and the fourth in the last three rows. that's how i reasoned the answer was E.</p>

<p>nightgambler, econobooks the answer was 23n/17, which was D</p>

On the earlier question about the odd number integers I got 150 because there are 6 sets of ten within each one hundred that give odd numbered answers(ex.101,111,131,151,171,191) and there are 5 odd hundereds(100,300,500,700,900).

<p>I'm pretty sure it is 125.
101 doesn't count as a number with all odd integers does it? 0 is neither odd or even or is it even?</p>

<p>Alright for the train question:</p>

<p>Just use d = rt</p>

<p>You are trying to see the distance it travels (the length of the tunnel) but the trick is to know that you're calculating all this based on the front of the train being at the start vs. the back of the train being at the end. When the back is at the end, the front of the train is 200m ahead. Therefore we can say the front of the train travels 200 + length of tunnel, so whatever we get out of d = rt, we subtract 200 from.</p>

<p>d = 20 m/s * 70 s = 1400m, 1400m - 200m = 1200m</p>

<p>my bad....the second letter appeared in the first, second, and fourth rows</p>

<p>remember any reading quesation? </p>

<p>michael_pham, it is 125</p>

<p>Did anyone notice that on the Collegeboard website they say come back on December 15th for the SAT scores? I was positive that the scores came out on the 17th..</p>

<p>The train one...</p>

<p>After ten seconds, the back of the train enters the tunnel. It takes 60 seconds for the back end to fully clear the tunnel. 60X20=1200</p>

<p>I did <em>exactly</em> the same thing as you did, but we learn from our mistakes, right?</p>

<p>Ohh wait... I'm not taking the SATs again, damn.</p>

<p>December 15th... wow. That's also early decision/action confirmation date. AND it's my birthday. </p>

<p>I hope that's a good sign (today was my cousin's, a Junior at UC Berkeley, birthday, too. Good signs?! Too bad I didn't know what foppish meant...)</p>

<p>what do you think a 56 would give on a typical SAT I MATH</p>
