what'd you guys put for that weird triangle problem in the last 15 minute math section... it was the last problem i think, #10

I got radical 3 : 1 ... I believe that those lines formed 2 30-60-90 triangles

Yea that section was pretty cool.. it was the easiest 2 passage section I've taken (from practice tests).

thats what i got as well..

"Consecutive::Sequential"

i don't think that was on my verbal.... was your experiemental section math or verbal? Mine was math.. i had 3 thirty minute math sections and 2 minute verbals... i'm pretty sure experimental math section i had was probably the one i did the best on too out of the 3.. just figures eh?

As for me, mine were 4 years ago. Found the math section to be very easy, especailly since at that point I had already completed calc I (we had an accellerated program). Too bad I still suck at english (note spelling a few words back) or else I would've broken 1500 on them.

:confused: i dont see how completing calc helps on the SAT. the majority of my school completes calc in high school. i think that seems to be the standard nowadays.

yeah... sats only include mostly alg 1 and geo, with some alg 2 i do believe - but i could be wrong... definitely just mostly basic alg and geometry though... no calc at all

Calc shouldn't help you out at all on the SAT. It's all simple reasoning with Algebra I type computations, it's not as if there are questions with derivitives or integrals on there to seperate the calc kids from the trig kids. Of course, your natural math ability that allowed you to make it to Calc earlier than most would help you, but not the Calc itself.
