it's really just a silly question but I just wanted to confirm this the application essays should be double spaced right?

Q: 47 V: 38 I screwed up on the quant last time becuase of bad pacing I ended up guessing on 6 questions this time I managed time pretty well and had about 6 mins left for the last 2 questions overall I didn't find it that difficult, I was suprised that I did not find any std deviation problems only 1 or 2 geometry but mostly percentage and algebra

got a 690, and 70 point increase from my last score I was so damn close I could taste it, but a little disappointed it was probably just 2/3 questions that might have gotten me the 700 but oh well, is there a huge difference between the 2 scores as far as schools are concerned? funny thing happened today, the test center's server crashed during the first AWA so everyone had to leave for like 20 mins, I probably scored really high on that first essay :P I really think luck has a lot to do with the verbal score, at least in my case, I guessed like on 4Q's on the last test and got a 94%, this time I guessed on 2 and got a 86%

31 views and not a single comment surely someone can help me out here

could someone list some general rules for when to use Like and when to use Just as? I seem to get the 2 mixed up all the time thanks

do schools usually look at the average of your scores or only at the highest? in other words, will it hurt if I sent in a lower score the first time and a higher one the second time around thanks

I wasn't born in the states but I have been here for 15years now(since I was 8). So I've pretty much completely all my education in the states and I got my citizenship a year ago. Would I still be considered a non native speaker?

could someone explain this in greater detail?

ok so the chance of getting a 3 or a 6 on the first die is 1/6+1/6 = 1/3 the same for the 2nd die and on the third the prob of not getting 3 or 6 is 4/6 = 2/3 so 1/3 x 1/3 x 2/3 = 2/27 is that right?

do you get an option to send your score to the schools you're applying to? if you do you need to know all the school codes?

ok I'm sure everyone's tried of my questions now, but my real test is coming up on this sat. so I'm just doing crazy amounts of questions plz bear with me 1. 1/5 of switches produced by a factory is defective. 4/5 of the defective ones were rejected and 1/20 of the nondefective ones were rejected mistake. if all switches not rejected are sold, what % of the switches sold were defective. Solution: I did this in 2 ways, one by plug in a value for # of switches produced and the other just by manipulating the fractions but both came out the same. let's say 100 switches were produced 1/5 of 100 = 20 defective 4/5 of 100 = 80 nondef of the 20 def ones 4/5 rejected so that leaves 1/5 sold = 4 of the 80 nondef only 19/20 were sold = 76 so total sold is 76+4 = 80 4/80 = 20%, if I did this right then the answer choices are wrong 2. scanned this one http://members.lycos.co.uk/jliu2/p2.jpg not sure how to solve this, maybe it's missing some info?

thanks for the solution donlau, I actually got the answer I just let it so others can find the answer themselves btw the answer should be 150 you had a typo it's +20 instead of -20

2 interesting ones 1. in a toy factory, 25% toys are red and 75% are blue. Half of the toys are size A and half are size B. if 10 out of 100 toys are red and size A, how many of the toys are blue and size B? solution: 10 of 100 toys are RED and size A there are 25 RED toys and 50 SIZE A so 25-10=15 RED TOYS that's SIZE B 50 -10 = 40 SIZE A toys that's not RED(so they're BLUE) there're 75 BLUE toys and 50 SIZE B toys since there're 40 size A toys that are BLUE 75-40=35 is the remain toys that are size B and BLUE 2. if a guy drove 1 hr longer and an average rate of 5mph faster, he would have covered 70 more miles than he actually did. how many more miles would he have covered if he had driven driven 2 hours longer and an average rate of 10mph faster on that day? solution: S=speed in mph D=distance T=time in hr X=how many more miles ST=D (S+5)(T+1)=D+70 (S+10)(T+2)=D+X ST+S+5T-65=D ST+2S+10T+20-X=D sovle the rest if you would like

definately 23, so I guess it was an error in the answers thanks

yup that's the correct answer for 2 and I think I followed the same logic but came out with the wrong answer maybe a calc error somewhere anyways thanks!!! btw did I do 1 correctly?
