<p>what about the test on wednesday of nexxt week/</p>
<p>Got radius of wheel, skipped odd digit, got area of trapezoid (not the pentagon-the pentagon was something else)</p>
<p>there isnt a test on wednesday of next week, its on saturday.</p>
<p>i got anywhere from 200-230...i think i got all of those right ^^^</p>
<p>i dont remember this problem: square root of x - 3 = 8 - 120</p>
<p>for this one im almost postitive it is +1/2 not -: perpendicular line to y=mx+b - -1/2....can anyone else confirm this?</p>
<p>for this one: "Genetically Modified Food Passages:
What would passage 2 say about the risks – acceptable or slight....this one is also split.....its looking like acceptable" i spent some time on this one but i think it is acceptable...however the question is stupid.</p>
<p>for the mind children one - and im sure im wrong because i know i missed some CR, i thought they were "children" because they were not as intelligent/socially mature as adults.</p>
<p>oh how was one supposed to do the area of the trapezoid one?</p>
<p>i had tons of time left over so i actually measured units with the length of the lead from my pencil, very carefully, extended the trapezoid to be a triangle, calculated the triangle, and subtracted the extension to come very close to 3.5</p>
<p>yeah it looks like it is positive 1/2....i will change that on the next update.</p>
<p>"How many students – 18"</p>
<p>What was the question for that one?</p>
<p>i am not exactly sure how to solve that trapezoid problem, i extended the two lines that came to the X axis and made it a triangle, found the area of that triangle, and it was a bit more than 3.5 so i put 3.5. basically the same thing you did but i didnt use my pencil lead haha.....some other people mentioned using the distance formula though.</p>
<p>oh guguru that was a grid in about the microscopes.</p>
<p>it was something about how the teacher had microscopes and if she gave them all out, there would be one for every two students, or something, and if she doubled the microscopes there would be some left over.....sorry, i dont remember the exact wording.</p>
<p>tg some1 thought the 2nd math section was hard...</p>
<p>when someone takes there double time very seriously they take it seriously...
5 1/2 hours in a stuffy ms room(my school=5-12 its a private) w/ a horrible reader that if i didnt have him as one and had another i couldve done it in 4 hours and w/o a reader all together couldve done it regulary...its retarded..</p>
<p>"yeah it looks like it is positive 1/2....i will change that on the next update."</p>
<p>No, ur wrong, its -1/2.</p>
<p>"it was something about how the teacher had microscopes and if she gave them all out, there would be one for every two students, or something, and if she doubled the microscopes there would be some left over.....sorry, i dont remember the exact wording."</p>
<p>the question went something like this: Tacher gives out calculator but 6 are needed. If double the number of calcultors, 6 are left over. What is the number of the students?</p>
<p>does anyone remember the exact question for the perpendicular line thing? it seems that about half think its -1/2 and half think its 1/2......</p>
<p>it was 2x + y = b or something, find the slope of the perpendicular line</p>
<p>so y = -2x + b</p>
<p>and then</p>
<p>1/2 is the slope because it is the opposite reciprocal of -2.</p>
<p>however i could be wrong, it could have been -2x or 2x - y or something like that...</p>
<p>whatismouse, I'm pretty sure you're right. </p>
<p>Bottom line is, 1/2 slope is the answer, because in the original equation, 2x and y are ON THE SAME SIDE, and both positive. You need to isolate y to find the slope, the coefficient won't tell you the slope straightaway. When 2x is transferred to the other side, it becomes negative. A perpendicular line's slope would be the negated reciporcal of the line's slope it's perpendicular with. The negated reciporcal of -2 is + 1/2.</p>
<p>OMG now i don't feel like i was the only one who thought that the writing and math was easier than last year's... yeah and the second part on the writing was all E's for me too lol.... i wonder if PSat will be the same level as the Sat?</p>
<p>I think I did very well on the writing section, since I did a lot of practicting before I took the test. But I think the math section was a little harder than before...there were a few questions I knew I got wrong or skipped.</p>
