I wish, I saw your PERFECT and helpful video. (((( I took the exam and yea there were some really challenging geometry questions.(( I hope I ll get at least 730...
Thank you Mike! Thought, In today’s test there weren’t many geometry questions. Math 2 module imo was so time consuming, (had to guess few questions) rather than difficult, so yeah, as you’ve said, knowing how to apply the right strategy may help
Thanks! There will never be very many Geometry questions. Just 5-7 questions total, so it’s mostly luck of the draw whether 1 or 2 of them fall within that band of crazy hard questions. But we know that the band will exist no matter what, so I’m curious if strategies would have made some of those time-consuming questions faster. I feel like there’s a long video lesson I can create that really emphasizes how to select the most efficient strategy.
prediction about geometry was accurate, there was more 3D stuff if anything math module 2 had some insane questions, and for math module 1 took way longer than usual r&w felt normal, more “annoying to understand” questions than practices though
Did the 3d stuff end up involving right triangles? If they’re not asking about volume, there’s usually some 2d triangles you need to create inside the shape.
@@SetteleTutoring not sure how much I can share but there was something about a pyramid that was solved using 2d triangles (this was suprisingly in module 1) for me the hard stuff was the algebra with i think 2-3 variables (probably more conceptual) and some other geometry that I dont remember in module 2
Because the top angle of each triangle is 60° (360/6), and the triangles are isosceles because both of the sides are equal because they’re all equal to the radius. This means that the base angles are 180-60 = 2 X therefore X equals 60. So all of the sides are equal to 60° and the triangle is equilateral.
@mariasargsyan3288 ‘s explanation is great. On future questions, remember that drawing radiuses is helpful because all radiuses will be the same length, so it’s likely we’ll form an isosceles triangle when we connect the dots. It’s a common solution to lots of hard geometry!
@@SetteleTutoringI have a question, you nigh have answered it already but why is the length of the middle side rad 3 and not just 2 because I isn’t it also a radius? Or is that the radius only hit where the angles form on the corners of the hexagon
@@LORDSPOOKY Yeah, it’s not like a circle where all the radiuses are the same. I wouldn’t even call the lines I drew radiuses, even though they sort of behave that way. In fact, the rad3 is proof that not all lines drawn out from the center of the hexagon are the same length. The corners are slightly further away than the centers of the sides, which is why we need to use triangle rules. But all of the “radiuses” to the corners are the same length because all of the corners are the same distance away from the center. Does that make sense?
That’s not a question with a useful answer. If the test FEELS easier, you may come out of it thinking you did much better, but the tests are scaled so that the scoring stays consistent. In other words, a test that FEELS easier will have a harsher curve so that you need to get more questions right, as opposed to a test that FEELS harder where you’d be able to get more questions wrong to earn that same score. The best way to think about the SAT is to maximize correct answers. Guessing randomly on the hardest questions is worthwhile if it means you can spend that time getting everything else correct.
Did you take the test in the USA or internationally? Some people are saying that there were lots of geometry questions. It’s always random chance which topics the hard questions comprise, but we know that there will always be a certain number of very twisted questions.
@@SetteleTutoring yeah I took it in the US, there were only a handful and none were hard tbh. there was a hard one about a polynomial 34z^14 + bz^7 + 30, the polynomial was divisible by p q r where theyre all integers. it was something like that
Yeah that sounds like a tough SAT question! They are definitely more likely to give you some twisted algebra, since algebra is a bigger part of the test.
As far as I know, yes. But remember that both question banks also include the questions from the Bluebook practice tests, so don’t use the bank until you’ve completed tests 1-4 in the Bluebook app. You don’t want to spoil the questions. That’s why I get so angry at other tutors who don’t see to know/care that they’re using practice test questions in their videos.
@@ishaqsanusi8610 Be really careful using this! It’s going to spoil the first 4 SAT practice tests, and it’s always possible they add the questions from 5 and 6 in there too. You should only use the Question Bank after you’ve taken every practice test: satsuitequestionbank.collegeboard.org/
I assume you mean the laws about inscribed angles and such, which come up very rarely on the SAT. They might work, but I don’t see a clear path. I feel like I’d still need to draw a radius somewhere to make the angles connect with the outside of the circle. Once we have the two 35s at R, we can see that the inscribed angle will be half the arc PQ, which means that the arc is 140º. Since x is the central angle that opens to that arc, it’s the same measure. But at that point, you’ve basically already solved it using the triangles, so I’d still be on the track in my mind.
Yes! There will be a button on the top right that looks like an x². I recommend using the “Test Preview” feature on the Bluebook app before you take the real test so that you can get used to where all the buttons are and how the app works.
Yeah, that’s always going to be the case-just 5-7 questions total. But whether those geometry questions fall into the hard section of questions is luck of the draw. The overall strategy is knowing how to deal with that hard section, no matter what the topic is.

EXTREMELY useful strategies in there, these will add a lot to my score. Really happy viewer.
Glad I could help! I’ve got lots more strategies too:

Please what type of questions did they ask, please in the geometry
@@ishaqsanusi8610 mmm most of them were about triagres as well as some questions regarding volume

hey settele! where can i find and do more of your questions?

Please explain again how you know that the triangle is also equilateral (last question)
Because the top angle of each triangle is 60° (360/6), and the triangles are isosceles because both of the sides are equal because they’re all equal to the radius. This means that the base angles are 180-60 = 2 X therefore X equals 60. So all of the sides are equal to 60° and the triangle is equilateral.
