SAT TEST "B" Discussion Thread

<p>Or remembered wrong. Whatever. I’ll find out when my score report says I got a 2100 or a 1700 I suppose…</p>

<p>that made me lol ^^. if anyone else has an idea, please post</p>

<p>So true though. I calculated a 2160 when I got home based on the numbers I wrote on my hand with pencil (LEAD POISONING) with a pretty big margin of error. In taking my practice tests I kind of realized that the question is more than worth answering if you can get it down to 2 possible answers. That’s also what Kaplan told me. For the ones that I just couldn’t, I skipped. </p>

<p>I think I really need to brush up on my vocab for sentence completion for December. That was what I had the most trouble on. Especially the question for the charges and them being late. It was like overdue…refunded, delinquent…charged. I put delinquent…charged, I now know that’s right because dictionary.com just informed me that delinquent could also mean overdue and refunded just didn’t make sense if he was being punished for an overdue charge. </p>

<p>OVERANALYZING.</p>

<p>I think you do it this way:</p>

<p>n= the poet’s books
n+50 = the author’s books
40 people bought both books</p>

<p>(n +50-40) + (n-40) + 40 = 410
(author’s books - the ones in common) + (poet’s books - ones in common) +ones in common
equal the total number of books</p>

<p>Solve for n and you get the poet with 200 books and the author with 250 books
200+250=450 (minus the 40 in common) = a total of 410</p>

<p>I was really confused too about this one. I think the right answer though was 2,4,9 because it fulfills set B because these are all factors of 36 but this subset of 3 numbers can’t fulfill set A which requires that all numbers in the subset are factors of 3. 9 is in fact a factor of 3, but the other two aren’t, thereby absolving this subset of any relation to Set A. No other subset fit Set B and not Set A, which is why I believe that 2,4,9 was the right answer</p>

<p>uhh what is this track boy thing… i had something different.</p>

<p>so does anyone remember any sentence completions?</p>

<p>that doesnt make sense because the question says they sold 400 books total. Not 400+ 40 books that were bought by both.</p>

<p>did anyone have a passage about the collection and organization of information of African American landowners in the 1780s? anyone? :(</p>

<p>On the question about why the boy told his father that he was going to focus on just the 800 race, what was the answer?</p>

<p>Do you remember any of the answers? Or maybe what your answer was?</p>

<p>The reason why he emphasized that he was going to perfect the 800 had me stumped. I think I ultimately skipped that question. Or maybe I answered it? I don’t remember the choices though. One that I was debating had to do with convincing his father that his competitive pursuits were worthwhile or something like that.</p>

<p>Form B minority!</p>

<p>hi, I just had a question about the math grid in where n^2<40
were they asking for the value of n or n^2?
also what were the angles you got for the Quadrilateral WXYZ?</p>

<p>I can’t figure out a simple way to describe the n question. It went something like, find the value of n where the square of n is 9</= n </= 40. So the actual answer was the square root… but its square had to be greater than 9 but less than 40. There were multiple answers, you could have put 4, 5, or 6 for 16, 25, 36. </p>

<p>The quadrilateral one… I skipped. I ended up drawing a rhombus and was getting somewhere right when time was called and I got ****ed off. So if you drew a rhombus then you probably got the angles right.</p>

<p>angle x and z. WXYZ where XY and YZ are equal. where WX and WZ are equal.</p>

<p>so… any definite answer for the CR penguin question? </p>

<p>the spotted leopard question was …that do spotted leopards.</p>

<p>Has to be a rectangle or a rhombus. Except all angles in a rectangle would be equal! So yeah draw a rhombus and figure it out from there.</p>

<p>hmm what did you guys put for the penguins question, atavism or fanaticism?</p>

<p>i put atavism… got home, checked what it was… cried alittle inside.</p>

<p>yeah i picked fanaticism but i checked what atavism was and it is “reversion to something ancient or ancestral” which characterizes the penguins’ behavior in breeding. So now i’m not sure</p>
