USA June 2011 SAT: MATHEMATICS Discussion Thread

<p>Can someone explain to me how the five 2s and five 1s question was six? </p>

<p>Because the 2s had to be together i thought it would be 2. </p>

<p>2222211111 and 1111122222 if it has to be a 10 digit number?</p>

<p>You could do:
1111122222
1111222221
1112222211
1122222111
1222221111
2222211111</p>

<p>The question never specified that the 1’s had to stay together, just the 2’s. I thought the same thing before thinking about the question a bit more.</p>

<p>oh right thank you, damn i think that’s the only one i got wrong</p>

<p>since you are looking at the order, its a permutation (or something like that, i forget the exact word since its been a while since i took precalc) but it was really simple if you use the nPr tool on your calculator</p>

<p>I thought the math section was fairly easy but i think it was a bit more advanced math than Ive seen in previous exams, I took the SAT in march and got a 770 with one wrong and ever since then have been taking practice tests but i think this had the most advanced math which was good for me since I didnt have to look to far back to remember the concepts.</p>

<p>Was the math grid in section with removing multiples of 3 and n from 100 is 63 an experimental section?</p>

<p>@ wowowow7<br>
no it was not, i had exp writing and had it</p>

<p>Any consolidated answer keys yet?</p>

<p>For the question with the removing multiples of 3 and n from 100 could the answer have been 19?</p>

<p>^ yes 19 was one of many possible answers</p>

<p>Hey guys quick question. The question with the land lease, it was like the last problem in a section and the choices were like 10%, 20%, 30%, etc…well was that question experimental? was it part of the experimental section?</p>

<p>hey, can any1 explain to me the question with the triangle within a triangle and you had to find measure of angle x.
the outside triangle is a equilateral due to the information given (all three sides same length). I think I remember putting 30, I’m not sure.</p>

<p>Clueless, I’m fairly certain the answer to that one was 15, though I can’t quite remember the question</p>

<p>does anyone know if the land lease one was experimental?</p>

<p>sigh… i always miss 1 hard questions (this one is the 1-100 inclusive), and 1 random easy question =*(. I really dont know why i put 30… careless i guess.</p>

<p>it was 15 because the outside triangle is equilateral, and the inside triangle was a 45-45-90 right triangle, so the equation should have been 60-x=45 and thus x is 15</p>

<p>land lease was NOT experimental, and it was 10%</p>

<p>so what do you guys think -2 will be. both of them grid-ins.</p>

<p>clueless junior- probably a 760</p>

<p>What do you guys think missing three questions and omitting two questions would be? Do you think it could squeeze a 700? I think I may have 800’s in CR and W so I’m really hoping to squeeze a 2300. </p>

<p>By the way, what is the general consensus to how difficult each of these sections are compared to past SAT’s. Or just in general, difficult or easy?</p>

<p>For the three you missed, were they all MC or were any grid in? If MC, that’s -6, which is most likely 680/690</p>
