<p>okay so for math section 2 number 2… what was the answer? wasn’t it 5 (E) i feel really stupid asking this but i was driving home and i realized that i may have misread the question.</p>
<p>And what did you guys put for the grammar question where they started the sentence with “That”… i said that “That” was wrong… how about you guys?</p>
<p>it was definitely note an obstacle… it was talking about the sense making doing something difficult</p>
<ul>
<li>i have all of the math free response answers memorized if someone wants to talk about them, and i have a ton of CR and writing answers memorized as well… acute memories ftw (acute was an answer)</li>
<li>somber and wry was definitely an answer</li>
<li>for the writing, i really disliked the Lorraine Hansberry one and the Bach “correct the sentence” one</li>
</ul>
<p>I feel like I focused too much energy on CR… Writing is usually my strongest category and I felt like it was harder than expected 
Only one wrong in math so far, so that’s nice.</p>
<p>it was wrong. </p>
<p>it was they. more then one</p>
<p>for the last correction for writing i put came.
because the sentence never implied that it was talking about past visitors. So it shouldve been comes.</p>
<p>math
7 question was 819 basically 9 times 9 which is 81 pluss 100 minus whatever from 1000.</p>
<p>last one was a guess from me. i put 4?
and the circle one was 60 even though i put 45 sigh.</p>
<p>^^ oh im really feeling pumped because all of the ones that we’ve gone over in this thread… i’ve gotten right! :)</p>
<p>wait… so shaheiruddin–the grammar question i asked was wrong? is that wat you are refering to?</p>
<p>Do you know what the question was…?</p>
<p>I feel really good about my PSAT score. I think I make National Merit.</p>
<p>PlanetFruitcake: I asked my AB teacher about the math ones I wasn’t 100% on and here they are
1- How many Positive integers less than 1000 don’t have 7 in any digit.
It’s probability. Count up the numbers one through one hundred that have 7. You get 19. </p>
<p>Multiply times nine, because there are 9 hundreds places. Subtract from 1000 and you get 729.
I ommited this one. </p>
<p>2-Points A,B and X Dont all lie on the same line. Point X is 5 away from A and 3 away from B. How many other points in the same plane as A,B, and X are also 5 Units from A and 3 units from B.
I said none. I’m not sure how to justify this logically, but hey.</p>
<p>4- In the XY plane the line with the Equation AX+BY=1. Where A and B are constants intersects the Y axis where Y=2 (i think). What is the value of B.</p>
<p>I solved for x, substituted, and eventually got 1. Not completely sure, so I’m glad it’s a student grid in.</p>
<p>somber and wry? I think I put something else lol I dunno though
CR was hard.</p>
<p>i got 1/2 for B</p>
<p>and i said one additional point… i just kind of pictured a diamond-shaped thing in my head, dunno if it was right or not though :P</p>
<p>bandgeek. I think you’re wrong.</p>
<p>700-800 is 100 numbers.</p>
<p>Then there are 9 numbers in each 1-100 number that have 7 after you take out the already included 700-800.</p>
<p>This means 9 times 9 which is 81 + 100 giving 181</p>
<p>1000 - 181 = 819…</p>
<p>@kklatte sorry i just remember that it was a grammar question that began with “That(A) <strong><em>, _</em></strong>__.” sorry i really can’t remember anything else.</p>
<p>@bandgeek05— in the AX+BY=1 problem… B=1/2</p>
<p>I feel silly asking, but how soon after scores are sent out will you know if you’re a National Merit Scholar? My practice test score was a 221 so I’m hoping.</p>
<p>Ohh! I know which one you’re talking about… I said no error. I hate those types of sentences but couldn’t find a reason why it actually was wrong…</p>
<p>for the AX + BY = 1 it was 1/2 wasn’t it?</p>
<p>I just plugged in 0 for x and 2 for Y and got 2B = 1, so B = 0.5</p>
<p>if you pictured a dimaond that there would be an infinite amount of points ??? I just guessed 4. </p>
<p>okay can someone conform all the hard math questions.</p>
<p>@shaheiruddin</p>
<p>shouldn’t it be:</p>
<p>9<em>9</em>9-1 = 728
each place value has 9 choices (all digits but 7) and subtract one for 000</p>
<p>How many no errors did you guys get for writing?</p>
<p>For the actual sentences, I want to say 4-6…?</p>
<p>i got 4. i thought it was a lot, but…
i got no error for:</p>
<p>Bach
Trees’ flowers dying in winter
The last problem
Birds, swallows (i think i put E for that…)</p>
<p>EDIT i mean just for finding sentence errors</p>
<p>for the swallows one I put “explanation of”</p>
<p>Ahh yay! No error for Bach? I read that sentence like, 15 times… it sounded so awkward and ugly and I had a major personal problem with the “for” near the end but ended up guessing no error. Sweet.</p>
