<p>-Just wondering, but why does it seem that so many more people get 800s on the Math II than on the math portion of the SAT?
-Are you guys talking about the 40/x problem?
-I said “understandably unreliable”</p>
<p>@mg1233- understandably unreliable. Visitors were in awe of the sphinx so they would exaggerate it.</p>
<p>@MG1233. I put purposefully deceitful, but I’m not 100% sure about it because the people weren’t being deceitful; the sphinx was. I just didn’t think any of the other options made sense.</p>
<p>Thanks, I originally had deceitful but changed at the last moment to understandably. The mix of the stickler for details guy purposefully changing the direction of the sphinx and the watchers being helplessly in awe made that question pretty murky.</p>
<p>And the cotton question was definitely all I, II, and III.</p>
<p>Also, what was the question with the answer “trifles” that I keep seeing a lot?</p>
<p>hey for the one writing question that was spot the error and it looked something like “he was defeated because he still advocated for the policies that have ceased to be popular with the voters”- what was the answer?</p>
<p>“Have ceased” should have been “had ceased”.</p>
<p>@italian</p>
<p>I said it was “have.” It was something like “he was defeated because he still advocated for the policies that have ceased to be popular with voters decades ago.” I thought have should be had.</p>
<p>Pages back, the wise jew said that III was incorrect because you would need MORE than 5 states. This doesn’t prove his point. III stated that you would need atleast 5 states. </p>
<p>I, II, and III were correct. </p>
<p>Had ceased, not have ceased. </p>
<p>Understandably unreliable</p>
<p>The SAT shouldn’t put up questions that people will be arguing about until midnight. That means that there is something wrong w/ that question.</p>
<p>@Jiggoha, you’re right, many more DO get 800s on Math II. Maybe because it is more pure knowledge than reasoning? I think it is easier to teach and they do trick you and lead you to make silly mistakes.
Either that or the curve is magnificent.</p>
<p>Just so you know, I have looked at this site for years, AP answers, SAT2 answers, and today for the SAT answers, I have been tempted to correct others errors and make an account, but none were egregious enough.</p>
<p>However, #19 on the last math was NOT 1,2,3.</p>
<p>It WAS 1,2</p>
<p>The graph said it displayed 10.75 million bushels of cotton in 1999
The question said there was a total of 14.9</p>
<p>14.9-10.75=4.15</p>
<p>4.15/5=.83</p>
<p>This means, for #3 to always be true, 5 states would need to produce .83 million bushels of cotton</p>
<p>North Carolina was the 5th largest producer in the nation, and was at about .75 bushels, therefore IMPOSSIBLE</p>
<p>TRUST ME I GET 800 ON MATH EVERYTIME</p>
<p>Well, III said that you need MORE than five states, so it should be true.</p>
<p>Do you guys remember how long it takes to get scores?</p>
<p>No the questions was which of the following MUST ALWAYS BE TRUE,</p>
<p>at least 5 states means 5 or more</p>
<p>5 states doesn’t work, so it isn’t always true</p>
<p>It comes out on 21st. According to Collegeboard I mean,</p>
<p>qwertylp, again, you proved yourself wrong. I understand your logic. III stated that AT LEAST 5 more states would be needed. </p>
<p>You yourself proved that, if NCarolina was .75 then well over 5 states would be needed. So III is true, unless I overlooked something or misunderstood your post.</p>
<p>Please read fully what I right, it says that at least 5 states would be needed, this IS FALSE, IT SHOULD READ at least 6 states,</p>
<p>BECAUSE, in the example of 5 states, each would need to produce .83, which is more than NC produced. Therefore, at least 5 states ISN’T ALWAYS TRUE, SO CHOICE 3 IS INCORRECT</p>
<p>Why on earth would the SAT be so precise as to ask us to determine whether a fraction of a picture represents .75 or .8 or .83?</p>
<p>do any of you remember the question about finding maximum number of houses with both a garage and a basement?</p>
<p>If NC produced .75, and the remaining acreage was 4.15…
-4.15/5=.83 So that means if there were to be 5 states below NC (which there weren’t, there were more) they would all have to produce .83 acres. However, since NC produced less than .83, the states below it must also produce less than .83, clearly leading to the conclusion that there MUST be more than 5 states below NC. I, II, III</p>
<p>I agree with Agrasin. NC’s acreage was subjective so if a student had interpreted it as anything above .83, he would be wrong? CB would’t base a question on a vague interpretation like that. The fact of he matter is that 4 states wouldn’t be enough no matter what NC’s acreage is so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.</p>
<p>I got 1 and 2 for that question and i calculated the each figure with 0.75 and it worked out. So it is 1 and 2 NOT 3</p>
