Today's SAT

<p>i didn't have the girl/chair:(</p>

<h1>2. No specifics but. There was a geometry question on one of the math sections where you have to know a VERY OBSCURE geometric concept in order to get it. You either knew it or you didn't. There was absolutely no other way to get that problem. It was ridiculous.</h1>

<p>was that in the same section as girl/chair 2? cuz i dont' remember gettin a question like that</p>

<p>i think i had a writing experimental section, becuase there were too many of them. i am desperatley hoping it was the first writing after the essay though, because i found that to be challenging.</p>

<p>Are you talking about the circle problem with the 5 chord and 10 dia? (30-60-90 concept btw)</p>

<p>Did anyone get the muscle question(pm me).</p>

<p>there was one identifying error questions w/ the bus taking a dif. routine b/c of bridge, i thought that was the hardest writing section i had</p>

<p>Hey. Without being Specific. I just want to know What THe Heck those SAT writers were writing. For one of the math problems you HAD to know the following Concept:</p>

<p>The area of a triangle is equal to the inradius times the semiperimeter.</p>

<p>With a show of hands- who knew that concept? Cuz i sure as hell thought that was ridiculous.</p>

<p>I got that circle problem quickly, I was excited. What do you guys think the 'curve' will be like?</p>

<p>^You didn't need that at all....it was an equilateral triangle so all you had to know was that the angles all equaled 60 degrees.</p>

<p>my teacher mentioned the concept once, but i don't think i used it</p>

<p>prob. didn't have that section</p>

<p>truazn8948532: You could do that problem by realizing the triangle was 30-60-90. No need for any arcane formulae.</p>

<p>Wrong queston S nack?</p>

<p>wow yeah that equlateral/isoceles triangle question was very easy .. is that what you're talking about truazn??</p>

<p>in the two short paragraphs in the critical reading section about a speaker (i think they quoted coolidge), what was the speaker's name?</p>

<p>OK, just to make this more confusing:</p>

<p>I had the girl and the chair.
And I had the chimpanzee.
I did not have the pail.</p>

<p>So if you can only have one experimental section then either math or reading is not experimental, right? This is confusing.</p>

<p>btw i did not have bridge, muscle, or sb woo or failure/success</p>

<p>You cant assume it was a equliateral triangle. I thought abuot it. You cant prove it because it doesnt have to be a equilateral triangle. Think to the diagram they drew. Even though it wasn't to scale, IT was one of the possible shapes.</p>

<p>Coleridge is his name.</p>

<p>^I was talking about the wrong question.</p>

<p>you just know that the arc is equivalent to the inner angle. i learned that in 8th grade and surprisingly and fortunately it stuck.</p>

<p>If you were talking to me I know that and used it to solve the problem. If not, then never mind. :)</p>

<p>i know the guy they quoted was Coleridge, but who were they talking about in both of those passages (in other words, what was the name of the main character in both of those short passages)?</p>

<p>s.b.woo was the paragraph you had to revise at the end of 1 of the writing sections. </p>

<p>the other was about failure/success. </p>

<p>i had 2 complete 35 minute writing sections.</p>
