Thanks for the question! Go to question bank, and select "hard" difficulty when making a search. Some of them won't be very hard, but many of them will be hard, and this is the easiest way to get questions, aside from videos like this.

I am really confused on that pyramid question as the area of the four triangular sides of the pyramid is 38160 and you have found out the base of each triangle to be 180 and its height to be 56 and if you apply the formula of area of a triangle (i.e 1/2bh the area of all four sides combined does not sum up to be 38160). Here, I suppose that the triangles are equal in dimensions as the base is a square. I think the h that you have found is the height of the triangle rather than the hypotenuse. I am really confused, would you mind clarify me this problem? It will be a great help. Other solutions were clear and helpful. Thank you.
Hi, Thank you for the question. This is a tough one for sure. I'm glad the other ones were helpful. The height of each triangle is 106. 56 is the perpendicular height of the pyramid, but to find the surface area of the triangles, we use the slant height, which is 106. We found the slant height first, then used it with Pythagorean to find the perpendicular height, which is what the question is asking for. Does that make sense? If not, ask away and I'll try to explain a different way :)
Oh I get that. You mean to say that 106 will be the height of the each triangle and the question is asking about the height of the pyramid. So, what you did was simply used pythagorean theorem where the triangle was halfed with 90 being base, 106 being hypotenuse and the perpendicular height of the pyramid being h. Sorry, I thought the question was asking about the height of the triangle. Appreciate your efforts though.
the pyramid question was also hard.ider the exact numbers but heres what the question was like(i fouynd an extremely similiar question online): A right square pyramid has a total surface area of 36,864 square inches, and the combined surface area of the four lateral faces of this pyramid is 20,480 square inches. What is the height, in inches, of this pyramid?
Yes. That one is like the hardest one I saw for this test. It's time consuming. I put an example of how to do it in this video. It's around the 9 minute mark
@@OutlierLearning2024 there was also a quartic equation which they said cud be written as two factors and they asked for a+c or smthg like that. that was also very very hard
I had question 1 just with different values.. I had (x+5b) and other values in the answer choices. Could you go over that if you know the answer choices by chance?
Thanks for the question, so we're trying to maximize b, and b is qm + rn (I made up the letters, but it's the first times fourth plus second times third) You need to maximize one pair (I made qm the max) and minimize the other by making them both 1 and 1. Is that helpful?
@@gojoo932 we can't maximize both, because when one goes up, the other has to go down. If we put them in the middle and close to each other, that doesn't maximize the total sum, so we want two high and two low
@@shravanvoleti6223 Hmm, I'm not sure I follow. There is no original equation. You'd need to find the original, so I don't think that method would work, or at least it wouldn't be easier.
@@maximillion9432 Thanks for the question! If it's exactly the same yes. Think about why it works with perimeter, and you'll see why it would work here and that should help with variations on this type of question.
@@OutlierLearning2024 so as long as it’s exactly the same but with different number mutltiplying ac and adding 1 will yield the correct answer for that question everytime?
Thank you for the question! B doesn't have to be more than 5. b has to be a positive integer, and the other options would make b a decimal answer. so only D words because 30/6 = 5. Does that make sense?
One of the questions I got was: f(x) = 1/7(x-a)+343 the function f represents the bpm x represents the rpm they gave a point which was 2748 rpm and 343 bpm and some other bpm and rpm points i forgot they asked the value of a. a was 2748.
@@OutlierLearning2024 they give only two points (one of the points were 2748 rpm and 343 bpm but the other points i forgot but the bpm was around 600 and rpm was around 4000)
So it could be on the easy because easy has a couple hard ones. But if I had to bet, I would say it was the hard module. A good sign! Good luck with scores!!
Bro the questions are really great but they way you've presented is boring. Please try to pretend it is actually from bluebook or like old paper SAT to make it more engaging otherwise it feels the questions are not SAT questions and they are self-made. Hope you got my pov.
Thanks, but to make it clear, these are questions from the actual SAT! Not ones I made up. Students sent them after they took the test this Saturday. I should have done a better job of explaining that
Just subscribed. These SAT questions reviews mean so much. Keep them coming sir 👍
Thank you! I'm glad you find them helpful! I'll keep them coming, don't worry :)
is there any way to practice specifically the hard problems of the sat somewhere other than youtube videos?

@@Ajax_manI’m glad you got it! No need to be sorry. It was a good question and I’m sure other people had it and will have it :)
I GUESSED D LETS GO
everyone needs a little luck!

@@origamiphenomenon2513 interesting! they love quadratic factors, so that's definitely something to study on. If I get more info I'll try it out.
I had question 1 just with different values.. I had (x+5b) and other values in the answer choices. Could you go over that if you know the answer choices by chance?
Yep if you pass it along, I can explain it in the comments. It should work the same as in the video. Do you know the answer choices?
I do not understand the max thing in second question. What is 70, 1 and 38, 1? Why do we multiply q with them and why do we take rm as 1*1
Thanks for the question, so we're trying to maximize b, and b is qm + rn (I made up the letters, but it's the first times fourth plus second times third) You need to maximize one pair (I made qm the max) and minimize the other by making them both 1 and 1. Is that helpful?
@@OutlierLearning2024 but why do we maximize only one of them and minimize the other?
@@gojoo932 we can't maximize both, because when one goes up, the other has to go down. If we put them in the middle and close to each other, that doesn't maximize the total sum, so we want two high and two low
For the first question can you not plug in -2b for x and and solve for b by setting the equation equal to 0.
hmm, I like how your mind thinks! But which equation would you plug it into? Are you saying for each one?
the original equation
@@shravanvoleti6223 Hmm, I'm not sure I follow. There is no original equation. You'd need to find the original, so I don't think that method would work, or at least it wouldn't be easier.
in question 2 you can do ac+1
Yep! If you can see that that makes it faster for sure!
can you do that for every problem of this exact format?
@@maximillion9432 Thanks for the question! If it's exactly the same yes. Think about why it works with perimeter, and you'll see why it would work here and that should help with variations on this type of question.
@@OutlierLearning2024 so as long as it’s exactly the same but with different number mutltiplying ac and adding 1 will yield the correct answer for that question everytime?
@maximillion9432 yes as long as you’re making a c the big numbers
I don't understand why b must be mmore than 5? in question 1
Thank you for the question! B doesn't have to be more than 5. b has to be a positive integer, and the other options would make b a decimal answer. so only D words because 30/6 = 5. Does that make sense?
One of the questions I got was:
f(x) = 1/7(x-a)+343
the function f represents the bpm
x represents the rpm
they gave a point which was 2748 rpm and 343 bpm and some other bpm and rpm points i forgot
they asked the value of a.
a was 2748.
I'll try to compile info on it and see if I can solve. I think I would need at least one more point?
@@OutlierLearning2024 they give only two points (one of the points were 2748 rpm and 343 bpm but the other points i forgot but the bpm was around 600 and rpm was around 4000)
Was (x-a) multiplied by 1/7? Or is it under the fraction?
@@OutlierLearning2024 its just 1/7(x-a)
@@OutlierLearning2024
multiplied by 1/7
Would this first question be on the hard module or easy module?
Good question! There’s a small chance it’d be at the end of the first module but most likely it would be in the second module, the hard version
@@OutlierLearning2024 I was asking because I had this question second module and idk if I got hard or easy math module.
So it could be on the easy because easy has a couple hard ones. But if I had to bet, I would say it was the hard module. A good sign! Good luck with scores!!
@@OutlierLearning2024I also had that big percentage question!
@@ha10prods Then probably module 2 was hard!
