SAT I Discussion

<p>lets start</p>

<p>OMG...was it only me.. it was hard</p>

<p>Does anyone know how to work out this question?</p>

<p>n is a two digit number
n divided by 10. remainder=9
n divided by 9, remainder= 8
what is n?</p>

<p>what about that one that had a line with y's and 1 x as the angles..what was x?</p>

<ol>
<li>answer = 89</li>
<li>the only possible answer that was given was x=30 (if I'm thinking of the same question as you)</li>
</ol>

<p>yeah x=30 that's what i got</p>

<p>what did everyone write their essay on i wrote mine on Siddhartha and Japanese modernization</p>

<p>I wrote mine with Newton and Sidis as examples. I began to elaborate on them and conclude my essay when time ran out; I only finished 3.5/5 paragraphs :(</p>

<p>can anyone elaborate on the steps taken to obtain an 89, this type of dividend question has been troubling me for 2 SATs now.
thank you</p>

<p>They said it is TWO digits, so you can just use guess and check if you'd like. I didn't really do any work on that one because the same question was on the May 2005 SAT.</p>

<p>i did guess and check</p>

<p>was this considered easier, harder, or the same compared to other SATs if youve taken them before?</p>

<p>i wrote my essay on the discovery of penicillin and christopher columbus's discovery of america. I couldn't think of anything for a while and i got really scared, but i think i did okay. what was the one with the cube and the sphere that touched every side of the circle, and what was up with the polygon one. I also accidentally skipped 3 questions, checked half of the others, and realized when the proctor called time that i forgot to do them on the writing :(</p>

<p>here's a (bad) method:</p>

<p>n = 1 (mod 2)</p>

<p>so n is odd. Now you have </p>

<p>n = 9 (mod 10)</p>

<p>so n ends in 9</p>

<p>now you have</p>

<p>9x + 8 = some number that ends in 9, so 9x ends in 1.</p>

<p>Now just go through and find which numbers "9x" end in 1 for 0<x<11, which happens to be 81. Then go back and add 8 to it to get 89.</p>

1. answer = 89

<p>That;s what I got. </p>

<p>Another question I just wanted to make sure was:
On the xy-plane, how many possible points are there with a distance of 4 from the origin?
a)1
b)2
c)3
d)4
e) more than 4</p>

<p>it was e right?</p>

<p>cube question = 8r^3</p>

<p>polygon = 9 sides</p>

<p>...and yes, "more than 4 - (e)" was correct. think of a circle</p>

</p>

<p>cube one was 8r^3</p>

<p>polygon one (the one where x+y=80) was nine sides</p>

<p>On the writing section, there was a question like</p>

<p>The painting was chaotic, but to a viewer, it can be both turbulent AND delightful. Is it supposed to be AND or YET?</p>

<p>i also got more than 4 sides, but i was confused because they said point?</p>

<p>damn, i missed the cube sphere thing, can you show me how to do it? I think i got the polygon right, but i changed it so many times i'm not sure. Oh, and did you put the 3rd day for the hotel thing</p>

<p>what you guys get for that Mozart and medical question? I put "bereavement" and it's definitely wrong..sigh</p>

<p>nvm, i got the cube sphere thing</p>
