SAT TEST "B" Discussion Thread

<p>I put atavism as well. The poet one had me stumped and for the 2,4,9 I put that I believe it was choice A. I am around a 600 math but I seriously think I could have broke 700. It was that easy. The CR was pretty tricky if you ask me. and for the grid in with the trees being 16x more than what year was the answer 1980?</p>

<p>yes. 1980. I thought the ellipse question was 1/2 at the end… no reason, just plugged it into the calculator.</p>

<p>I think the answer is fanaticism. Atavism just doesn’t work…</p>

<p>… ahhhhhh… fanaticism means devoted… well, that settles that.</p>

<p>Was the grid like x students passed x the first physical tests and then y amount of X passed the 2nd test. was the answer 1/2</p>

<p>Lol god I think I put erraticism for that question. Or skipped it because I didn’t know what any of those words meant in context other than that one. Probably skipped. And yeah, 1980 and 1/2. That’s what I got at least!</p>

<p>I still don’t get why (2,4,9) is the answer. 9 is a multiple of 3, a subset of A. The question asks for which one is part of subset B and not A, I put (2,4,14).</p>

<p>BTW I think this question was flawed and should be omitted? Agree?</p>

<p>The poet and novel book question was CLEARLY 200.</p>

<p>Why does everybody say its 210 or 180, etc.</p>

<p>^^^ could you explain why you think it is 200?</p>

<p>Yeah I need the 200 one explained. If the answer were 200 then the total would have been 450.</p>

<p>Of course Can someone remind me of the question please: I’m not sure was the total 410 people, and how many people had both books? </p>

<p>Basically the formula (from Gruber’s) states: Total People(A and B) = A People + B People - Both (A and B)</p>

<p>Copied from another thread: </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>The question asked for how many poet books were sold, That means any books from poet books only and people who purchased poet books and the author books.</p>

<p>The question did not ask for how many people bought poet books only? Do you guys get my reasoning, kind of weird, I know.</p>

<p>@littlemeow I don’t think form B had that passage.
@yesimWASPY I didn’t have this one either.</p>

<p>Can we discuss the passage about wildlife land preservation?</p>

<p>@MindlyParadox is the wildlife land preservation experimental because i got raped by that passage. :(</p>

<p>@panmit Probably not. I ended up having 2 35 question and a 14 minute writing section, which means that the writing was experimental</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question with 2 black socks and 2 white socks, whats the probabilty of pulling out two of the same colored socks without replacement?</p>

<p>@Novaray it is 1/3</p>

<p>Okay. I had this section and finished every math section in five to ten minutes. I have all the answers stored and will post them momentarily. I have not looked around to be sure they are all correct, but I’m fairly confident about most if not all of them.</p>

<p>Panmit, could you please explain how you get that?</p>

<p>Edit: nvm, figured it out</p>
