Official US December SAT I Thread

<p>n = 10, t = 90</p>

<p>Does anyone remember, for the pencil question, if it was n^2 > t or if it was n < t^2? what the heck was that inequality there?</p>

<p>i remember n^2>t</p>

<p>the asking in order of a,b,c,d,e was e</p>

<p>it was relatively simple, it already had them in order of greatest to least</p>

<p>for example, it had a,b,d
c,d,e
a,d,e</p>

<p>u didnt even have to substitute, just look at a,b in lines 1 and 3 and you know that d is greater than e</p>

<p>But in the case of the actual problem, there were like 4-5 lines and the answer was E</p>

<p>REGARDING THE PENCIL QUESTION</p>

<p>Choices I and II only were right, NOT III</p>

<p>Nightgamble it was 70 times 20=1400 - the length of the 200m train, there wasnt any way you couldve had 1000 unless you forgot the 10 seconds (1 min and 10 seconds) and just did 60 x 20 =1200-200 for the train</p>

<p>How about the way I did it? I was thinking it was 1200 but I re-solved it and think it's 1,000. My post is a few up and correct me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p>I'm glad that you have good signs on your side. I got a ticket right after the SATs, so if we're judging on luck that we have the day of the SAT, I'm going to fail.</p>

<p>My friend told me we get SAT scores on December 17th. Who knows?</p>

<p>KINGS16: for the ones I remember,</p>

<p>5)I put something tendency</p>

<p>MATH-1) all three were correct (since there t cant equal, n, at least two people had to have the same # of pencils, I missed that one too and put I, II only until I realized III was right too.)
19) yes that's right</p>

<p>Crap then I read it wrong if it was n^2>t. I forgot if I put that as true or not :X Eeeeee what did I put, think, think... I know I and III were right. I really hope so?</p>

<p>It was tendency</p>

<p>Do you guys think the math will have a padding of two 800s, honestly?</p>

<p>For 25 They Were All Correct I,II,and III</p>

<p>for the pencil problem all three WERENT RIGHT</p>

<p>I and II were right, III was not (III said there had to be a minimum of 2 pencils, that simply wasnt true) t COULD equal n number of pencils, it's just that the max a student could have was under n</p>

<p>t was # of students
n was # of pencils each one had</p>

<p>for example, 10 students and at least one of them has one pencil and the rest have more than 1</p>

<p>what if there was 3 students</p>

<h1>1 with 1, #2 with 2, #3 with 3</h1>

<p>6 pencils total for 3 students</p>

<p>I n greater than t
II n squared greater than t squared
III at least two students had same # of pencils</p>

<p>I and II were right, III was not</p>

<p>I thought III meant that at least two people had to have the same amount of pencils, which was true.</p>

<p>yup... for the two Qs with all 3... they both had all 3 to work with.</p>

<p>i use 50 and 1000 and the pencil one worked with all three.</p>

<p>yep legendofmax is correct it said that at least two had to have same amount. This is obviously true</p>

<p>I agree with legendofmax. It said 2 people had to have the same number of pencils, not that there had to be a minimum of 2 pencils. III was true.</p>

<p>AH DARN. I put 5 for the last grid in answer. Are you guys sure it's 5/64? Because the question just said (from my recollection) that how many books were left for the original guy. I don't remember saying what was the ratio/fraction of how many books were left.</p>

<p>yeah, I'm 100% sure it said that at least two people had the SAME NUMBER of pencils. </p>

<p>I'm also 100% sure that I got it wrong because of that :(</p>

<p>december 15th is the day... log in... CollegeBoard is releasing them two days early..</p>

<p>so you will know tuesday the 14th late at night, most likely.</p>

<p>It says something to the effect of "Some have multiple pencils" It didn't say MAY anywhere in the wording, I was careful to check for that.</p>
