SAT Math Question of the DAy

<p>Apparently the correct percentage for yesterday's (38 minutes ago) Question of The Day was extremely low, around 37%. That shlt definitely got me. You guys think anything like that will be on the SAT though, come on T.T got me goooooooooood</p>

<p>Definitely possible.</p>

<p>Err. I just checked the problem and all you needed to do was look at the diagram and count the number of arrows present on the left line. Unless you have some disability in enumeration, coming to the conclusion of three should’ve taken you less than three seconds (one second for every arrow enumerated)…</p>

<p>I guess the main reason people got it wrong was that they thought the two vertical lines were parallel (I thought the same thing… lol). It’s definitely possible for ETS to put a question like that on the SAT, but you just have to be careful and work slowly.</p>

<p>I felt pretty dang good when I got it right and saw the 30%.</p>

<p>Its one of the trickier ones I think that try to deceive you at first</p>

<p>I got it right :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I think most people thought it was all 7 angles, gotta take time looking and thinking about the question.</p>

<p>You just have to remember this golden rule: Never draw your own conclusions from a figure</p>

<p>It is never explicitly stated or shown that the 2 transversal lines are parallel. Hence, none of the angles on the non-parallel transversal have to be 37 degrees. Only the 3 angles on the 1st line will be of that measure.</p>

<p>That one is tricky, but I’ve fallen for that one before.</p>
