I got 700 on the math when I took the SAT a few years ago. Sadly the english section killed me.

Was that really that hard? 8/8
I'm happy that I got them all right. I haven't done math since highschool. I took one logic course at college, and nothing else even remotely mathematical. In law school, teachers even tell us to ignore any moath-related stuff in damage awards because they themselves don't want to both with it....🙂
I found math 11 very easy. =/ I did almost the entire final on my TI-83... final grade 99%. I thought math 10 was a lot harder, and I also think math 12 is a lot harder, im taking it right now, this is my last week. In math 10 I think I only got like 92% or something. Math 10 and 12 are strongly related, which is why this current curriculum is so screwed up.
Aw, my school doesn't even offer an AP course. We just have a normal Calculus course to get you started with it, but you don't get any uni credit. By the end of the year, most people skip the class because they don't really care anymore.
I heard from most people that the English part of the SAT is pretty hard. A brainiac friend of mine got a perfect mark on it. Crazy. She's going to CalTech (i think that's what it's called?) this year.

IIRC, they made the test easier since the youth of today aren't as bright as we were back then.
And, to the youth of today, sorry, but it's true. Search for yourself... the SAT scores were going down, so it was adjusted to keep the scores higher.
Plus, they let you use a calculator now, since you'd be lost without one.

Of course it's easy. You're not supposed to be well advanced in mathematics to be able to solve these problems. Hell, there are seventh graders that take the SAT.
You just need to do them quickly. A 700 should be easy to get if you're decent with math.

8/8 in like 5 minutes? That's kiddy stuff 🙁
I got a 1440 on the real SAT, and that was the day I was coming down with mono (shaking/shivering/cold). Weird 🙂 I am good at taking tests though.

That was partly my question. When I was in high school, only Algebra and Geometry were taught unless you joined an Advanced Placement Trig or Calc class. Neither were required to graduate. I always did well with algebra and geometry, but most of the questions left me saying...WTF?

How old are you guys?
I graduated HS in 2002, and I think all this stuff was covered in my FST and PDM (functions, statistics and trig, then precalc and discreet math) classes sophomore/junior year. Now I am pretty good at math, but 90% of the kids in my high school completed these classes by the time they graduated. Maybe it's just the school district I am in, but I find that hard to believe.
