Official US December SAT I Thread

<p>For the book store one I had (23n)/17</p>

<p>ohhh ok..thanks</p>

<p>JAINA,, ok me too</p>

<p>Guys for verbal, what do you think 6 omits and 20 wrong would get? (530 was 22 omits and 14 wrong, 570 was 22 omits and 7 wrong)</p>

<p>can anyone explain how they did the bookstore problem?</p>

<p>can anyone explain how they did the bookstore problem?</p>

<p>Guessed. ;)</p>

<p>the answer was E) 23n/17</p>

<p>if I see it I can explain it but I forgot it, I remember substituting n for a number and getting something like 13.5somethingsomethingsomething and filled it in for choices a,b,c,d,e and only e worked</p>

<p>There was one sentence completion that talked about a guy and his personality. It said his <em>blank</em> was regarded as a firm will and his <em>blank</em> noisy defiance against all sensible rules or something like that. I couldn't decide between intractible/obstreperous or the choice with something/optimism. I know I'm not very clear but if someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.</p>

<p>obstreperous is correct</p>

<p>it was intractable and obstreperous (loud)</p>

<p>There was 17 percent travel, 23 cookbooks.
If n were travel books, how many were cookbooks?
I did:</p>

<p>17 n
-- = --
23 x </p>

<p>17x=23n
x= (23n)17</p>

<p>Thanks oxi. I think I misread the problem and thought it said x=100, not x=1000. @$%#!</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the sentence completion with the lawyer and some air of stupidity... I think I put spurious/presages? I remember it was the last SC of the section.</p>

<p>anyone tell me how 6 omits and 20 wrong would do on verbal?</p>

<p>micheal_pham you there?</p>

<p>i am still confused, so .078 can not be correct for thegrid in? because it is not acurate?</p>

<p>where are all these numbers coming from? dont tell me it was part of that circle with the percents</p>

<p>Nirav, I'm here, get online</p>

<p>We can discuss on AIM</p>

<p>I've got a question to pose to all of you. I am a junior and have taken the Sat twice(once as a sophmore) and did less than satisfactory. Today, I took it for a third time and I am looking at about a 1550. Should I cancel because there is the chance that I did not do as well as I think and becuase the schools that I am applying to require the new sat?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I got 23n/17 for that one, too.</p>

<p>Man I must have messed up on that 5/64 problem. This is what I did. It says Doctor(i think) gave 3/8 to person1 and 7/8 remaining to person2. How many does Doctor have left? So what I did is used the number 64 for the original number of tapes that the Doctor had. So I did 64 X 3/8 which equals 24. So doctor gave 24 books to person1 leaving him with 40 tapes. He then gave 7/8 of that to person2 which equals 35 of that. So the question from what I remembered asked how much tapes does the doctor have left. So I got the answer 5.</p>

<p>I still think the answer is 1000 to the train problem. Click on my username and search for that post in this exact thread. Thanks.</p>
