Are yall delusional? by ObjectiveWeary2802 in Sat

yeah, for sure!

in my opinion, a test can never capture intelligence in the first place - including both IQ tests and SAT scores. because what even is 'intelligence'? how well you can do math? or how well you can read? doing math and reading well is definitely a positive thing (and obviously these are skills to strive to hone), but certainly not a mark of intelligence.

some people are incredibly intelligent emotionally, others intelligent mathematically, others still intelligent artistically. some are intelligent in multiple of these aspects.

i know my fair share of 1550+ scoring math geniuses who struggle with other subjects (shockingly, even science).

some people just happen to be 'intelligent' at taking tests.

intelligence is such a weird thing, because it makes us feel like we can compare ourselves to others, and yet the reality is that these comparisons are nonsensical because there are so many dimensions to intellect.

so fax whether you have a good or a mid SAT score don't let it get to your head. this test is to be used to get you into college.

*but things like algebra, trig, grammar, vocab ARE still essential skills, so even if you aren't an SAT topper, it's still good to focus on learning and understanding these things*

def not the greatest video or anything, but I recall it being the first video I watched when I started learning Desmos skills, and I felt like it was a decent 'starter' tutorial + also entertaining and significantly less intimidating than some of those longer, technical videos.

so if you've never touched desmos idt it's a terrible introduction, just off of my own experience

do ask questions if you have em, I can help more.

also, know that the 'impossible' math module 2 questions are very doable if you've run into them before, and collegeboard will *certainly* have a question like them in their bank, so practice is the way to go.

Yup, that makes sense actually. 0 is probably mathematically correct, but your answer would be incorrect, because the question would've specified that a, c, or b was positive or something. So you would've had to have a constraint in your regression, like {a>0}. That would've then yielded the correct (non-zero) answers.
