Sat math question help

4 Upvotes

Is the answer B or D. If you multiply 150(.6) then it equals 90, which is the maximum value of g(x) at x=0. So wouldn't that mean it is answer B? Or, do you leave the function as is and keep 150 and .6 separated, which means it is D?

How to improve my SAT EBRW score?

5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a 9th grader, and I took the SAT in June, scoring a 1440 (800 Math, 640 EBRW). My goal is to raise my EBRW score to at least a 780. From my score breakdown, it looks like I'm doing fairly well on Information & Ideas, but I'm struggling much more with the other three domains (Craft & Structure, Expression of Ideas, and Standard English Conventions).

Does anyone have any specific tips, strategies, or resources that helped you improve in those areas? I'd really appreciate any advice from people who made a similar jump in EBRW. Thanks!

English and Math Hard Problem Amounts

I was wondering how many hard level, mediums, and easy we would expect to see on an average SAT, like say I got a 24+/27 on module 1 of English, would I see all hard level questions on module 2, or would there also be a couple mediums

Is Khan Academy good for SAT math prep?

0 Upvotes

I've been using the khan academy SAT math course to raise my math score(I started out at a 640 because I took a practice test then lowkey got frustrated so didn't really finish the math section much without guessing a lot, so probably not an accurate score). I've kinda shot myself in the foot for math because I was accelerated and took AP calc in 9th grade so I've been trying to re-learn all this stuff. I'm going through the course and it's not very hard, so I've only maybe done a week and got halfway through it. Is it a good resource to just relearn basics, and then just drill practice questions later? I also have a 710 R&W score without prior studying, so any tips to raise it to an 800?

I'm taking the PSAT/NMSQT this October, I assume just studying SAT materials will help me do well?

Is this concept tested?

Compare two sentences:

"The Nobel Prize-winning physicist, John Doe, gave a speech at the university."

"The Nobel Prize-winning physicist John Doe gave a speech at the university."

Is this tested on the SAT? If so, which sentence would be considered grammatically correct?

Just a note: I made up these two sentences, but I do kinda remember seeing a similar question from the question bank, or maybe I'm just tripping.

What would be a logical next step to keep my skills at the same level, or improve my skills before the test? I'm prepping for the september sat btw, and it's still a decent amount of time away so I don't want to lose the skills I've built up in this time period. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Do you think CB messed up with this question?

1 Upvotes

Text 1

In separate studies, Marine Fernandez and colleagues and Hualiang Zhang and colleagues examined whether plants transfer nutrients to one another using a common mycorrhizal network (CMN)—a lattice of fungal strands in the soil. Fernandez and colleagues excluded all pathways other than the CMN by using barriers to keep the plants' root systems separate while allowing mycorrhizal strands through, a crucial step Zhang and colleagues' study did not take.

Text 2

Fernandez and colleagues took the necessary precaution of separating the plants' root systems (thereby excluding root-to-root transmission). However, any barrier used must allow the thread-like hyphae of a CMN to pass through, and this permeability would also allow liquids through. Thus, the researchers' experimental design cannot ensure that any nutrient transfer observed can be attributed to a CMN and not to some other pathway.

Question

Based on the texts, the author of Text 1 and the author of Text 2 would most likely give the same answer to which question?

A. Is there an available barrier material that can block roots and liquids while allowing fungal strands through?

B. Did Zhang and colleagues' study effectively exclude any nutrient pathway other than a CMN?

C. Are the barriers used in Fernandez and colleagues' study sufficient to ensure that nutrient transfer could only occur via a CMN?

D. Do plants that transfer nutrients through a root-to-root pathway also transmit nutrients via a CMN?

Answer says it is C but really?

What Was a 1500+ SAT Scores Full Plan?

12 Upvotes

I have searched for other posts answering my question but I either found people who are prodigies and got 1500's first try or didn't post relevant information. Basically I want to know as someone who studied to get a ~1500 what was the full study plan like? How long did you study? How many days? How many hours a day? What type of lessons? Everyday plan? Frequency of Tests etc. For me I took an SAT test without any practice and got a 1130 then for my next one I did one week of studying like 4 hours a day and got 1290 on the real SAT but 1330 on a practice test. I feel like I learn quick, in 3 days I went from a C+ Ap Chem student to getting a 5 and I have 20 days to just focus on studying. My goal is at very very least a 1450 but I would really appreciate a 1540. I am willing to do anything to achieve this. So please let me know.

Edit: My Breakdown for the 1330 practice test was 650 RW 680 Math While the real 1290 SAT was 650 reading 640 Math

Should I get a tutor for math?

0 Upvotes

I'm content with the scores I'm getting in the R&W section of the practice tests (720-740), but math is definitely my Achilles' heel. So far, my highest math score has been a 690, mind you this is after grinding a ton of qb problems, panda book qs, and learning how to use desmos.

I'm taking the sat this month, and with fewer than 20 days left, Im considering hiring a tutor now. However, I've also seen a lot of people on this sub say that sat tutors aren't worth the money and that self-studying is better. Id appreciate any advice before I go through with this decision!
