<p>Hi welcome to the dumbest mistakes possible contest!
Let me start…</p>
<li>When they say a circle must go through 6 lines the answer is never 6!</li>
<li>When they say the smallest sum possible… they obviously don’t mean LARGEST.</li>
<li>When they say 5 less than x, that never means 5-x. </li>
<li>And never forget to do the last question of the whole test!!!</li>
</ol>
<p>:D : Check this out:</p>
<p>1) 2,4,6,8 are now odd integers (9 X 25 was the answer to the grid-in...according to me)
2) the sum of two sides of a triangle has to be LARGER than the other, not EQUAL</p>
<p>A<strong><em>B</em></strong>_<strong><em>C</em></strong>D</p>
<p>When they want you to find the length of AC and you've already solved for BC, you must ADD AB to BC to get AC!!! I just bubbled in the length of BC (because it some thought to solve for). And OTHER REALLY, REALLY obvious critical reading questions that almost EVERYONE's gotten too, like... think of the phrase "picture perfect." It was supposed to be something about a dream that would never be a reality, REALLY obvious on the test. I marked it and changed it to something superficial, so totally out there. </p>
<p>The WORSE thing about revising your work is changing your answers from right to wrong. And I feel absolutely terrible about it.</p>
<p><<< written in regard to the November SAT I</p>
<p>lol i I did the 9x25 thing too and o crap i may have missed the length one!! great..... need to add those to my repertoire and my strength is supposedly math and engineering lol!!!</p>
<p>i did 9x10x5 because i thought when they said odd digit, i meant digits (unit) number</p>
<p>i quantative comparison.... village, don't even wanna talk about it. </p>
<p>pencil... i read n>t^2... GOD DAMN I could have gotten all these questions right. only if i focused a little bit more...</p>
<p>Is it particularly bad to skip the last question on the test?</p>
<p>yea i definitely did the six lines thing... UGH. i'm gonna lose like 20 points now because i miscounted.</p>
<p>Try not remembering a question on the quantcomps! Aaghhh!</p>
<p>I have you guys beat.</p>
<p>1) When asking for the length of a side (the perimeter question), I forgot to plug in what x equals.
2) You know the 0<a...<e... well, I multipled 1 and 8, because my plus sign looked like a multiplication sign. I didn't have time to go back to this one. So my answer was 8. It doesn't matter anyway because...</p>
<p>3) I FREAKIN' BUBBLED THE GRID-INS ALL WRONG! I read them (and did them) horizontally... I didn't realize that the problems were vertical until after they called time--despite the midline. I manged to ignore that completely somehow. That's like 200 points off. (sigh)</p>
<p>for the median average problem, i didn't count 0 and thus divided by 4 so i got 5</p>
<p>omg eggulgent?..are you serious?..then i did the same thing..for the bubbling in..:(</p>
<p>x__x; I forgot to subtract the freakin' 200 from 1400.</p>
<p>The problems in the book were vertical, but you gridded them in like this:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Answer 2. Answer 3. Answer .....</p></li>
<li><p>Answer.....</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Or horizontally like that, anyway. </p>
<p>At least, that's what I'm HOPING.</p>
<p>effulgent what do u mean u bubbled them in horizontally?</p>
<p>well u kno the answers r horizontal on the answer sheet i think he meant he did them horizontal when doing the problems.....</p>
<p>Do you think since.... this test was easy but .......TRICKY we may get off with a decent curve????</p>
<p>u guys r cool..... very smart.... but common standardized test sense very low!!! lol</p>
<p>ooo thanks for the clarification aseemo---im not sure about the curve..i would bet math is harsh and im really hoping the verbal is lenient</p>
<p>Lol, none of you guys' mistakes are as dumb as mine. The question asks for a volume of a rectangular prism, and you know what formula I use to find it? Yeah, it's 1/3<em>base</em>height. I feel so dumb afterward...</p>
<p>Da&mn IT!!! I put 5 for the 5/64 problem and 225 for the 125 problem except i forgot it said ODDDDDDD!! JESUS</p>
<p>For clarification, I'm a <em>she</em>, lol.</p>
<p>And what I did was like... Here's an example:
Page one:
1. 4.
2. 5.
3. 6.</p>
<p>And the answer box was like:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.</p>
<p>Well, I bubbled it in sort of like this:</p>
<ol>
<li>4. 2. 5. 3. 6.</li>
</ol>
<p>So I got two of those right. Whoot.</p>
<p>the sat had the easiest math in december... but the trickiest crap!</p>
<p>i am ****ed. i got the hardest right and missed the easiest... like numbers 4 and 5... out of sheer rushing!</p>
<p>my last chance too. :( by luck will i ever see a 1400.</p>
