PSAT Questions Discussion

<p>For that I got 110 degrees. You mean the one with a triangle made up of two sets of parallel lines.</p>

<p>I hate psat math, it’s so easy that one mistake drops you to a 76. It’s become “let’s see who doesn’t misread any questions” rather than a legitimate measure of mathematical ability.</p>

<p>Yes, I’m ****ed because I read “average of the shaded regions equals sum of the unshaded regions” as “average of the unshaded regions equals sum of the shaded regions”</p>

<p>I think so. I put 120 degrees because that was the measure of the angle way above it. But really I just guessed because all I know about geometry is the info on formulas they give you at the beginning of the section.</p>

<p>Quest 1: 728
Quest 2: 1 (honestly I didn’t understand the question and put the answer that was more than 4 because I thought it was talking about the center of a circle and I thought “There are infinite points in a circle, so more than 4” I got 1 after the test when people were talking about it, not sure if its correct)
Quest 3:
5x + 7(dx) = 8x + 5(dx)
5x + 7dx = 8x + 5dx
2dx = 3x
2d = 3
d = 1.5
Quest 4:
A(0) + B(2) = 1
2B = 1
B = 1/2</p>

<p>during the test i felt stupid during the semi circle question because i forgot to divide it in two, but still got it right, just took 4-5 minutes of being stupid</p>

<p>what was the answer to the spinner problem</p>

<p>This is my first time taking the test, is the math always this easy and the vocabulary always on the difficult side? I’m in 9th</p>

<p>does anyone remember some of the writing answers.</p>

<p>for the last corrections was it came?</p>

<p>spinner one was 1/8</p>

<p>can you show me how you worked it if you remember the question?</p>

<p>3/24</p>

<p>equals 1/8 all i remember.</p>

<p>there were two spinners 1 was 1-4 the other 1-6 i think
whats the probabilty that the combined scores are greater than or equal to 8</p>

<p>howed you get 3 in the numerator</p>

<p>no 1/4</p>

<p>there are 24 possibilities, 6 of which are 8 or greater</p>

<p>4+4
5+3
6+2 Not greater than 8. It just said equal to 8. </p>

<p>I dont remember what I did but ended up getting</p>

<p>3/24</p>

<p>which is 1/8.</p>

<p>did you just manually count the 6 out with a chart or something?</p>

<p>I got 6/24 for the spinner… came out to 1/4? The spinners were
A) 1 2 3 4 B) 1 2 3 4 5 6</p>

<p>Spin A and B, had to add up to at least 8, so that could’ve been 2+6, 3+5, 3+6, 4+4, 4+5, and 4+6… six options, 6/24?</p>

<p>What was the grid-in about the even numbered locker between 0 and 1000 that had to be a multiple of 5 and 31? 310 seemed to fit but it also felt way too easy, I kept rereading it like I was missing something.</p>

<p>shaheir, you misread. It was at least 8</p>

<p>I wish psat math would test math and not reading comprehension</p>

<p>Dammit lol. Oh well its only the PSAT.</p>

<p>Doesnt matter much to me. </p>

<p>A good experience before the SAT comes along.</p>

<p>for the grid-in for 1 to 1000 i think the answer could have been 1, 155, 310 or some other answers. it was easy.</p>

<p>the question with the circle and the shaded regions being the sum of the average was x=120. pretty sure of it</p>

<p>Let us please remind ourselves that we might be lowering our own scores by releasing questions…Some schools write PSAT tomorrow, I hear.</p>

<p>^ some schools give it Saturday; but obviously, it is a different test. You do not think the PSAT people are so dumb as to give the same test again on Saturday do you?</p>

<p>Definitely not the Saturday test. But I am not at all sure about the Thursday test.</p>

<p>“for the grid-in for 1 to 1000 i think the answer could have been 1, 155, 310 or some other answers. it was easy.”
Nope, it had to be an even number so 310 was the lowest one.</p>
