actually for the last question the answer is guessable because of the given options: option a and b are eliminated cause theyre less than 100%
it cant be 2324 cause if u subtract c from b + c the percent will be more than 2x of 2241 so thats gotta be 4941 (ik its complicated and the options may not allow u to use this method especially if theyre so clost to each other but if it helps it helps)
Very cool insight! I’m sure many students will benefit from this strategy when it fits. I’ll pin your comment to make sure it gets noticed. Here’s hoping this video reaches tons of viewers so more students can take advantage of your tip!

Thx bro, well made video
Thanks-glad you liked it!
in 3:03, why did you multiply 6/4 by its reciprocal?
Sorry if I didn't explain well enough in the video. Basically, if you raise anything to the 1st power it doesn't change right? So in order to JUST multiply by 1.04 and increase by 4%, we want to raise that 1.04 to the first power. Since the exponent wasn't 1, we want to change it to 1. How do you change any fraction into 1? Multiply by the reciprocal.
Hope that helps clarify.
But how did you know that you had to multiply 12 with the reciprocal of 6/4 (4/6 or 2/3) to get the answer? Why couldnt you just multiply 6/4 with 12 which is what my first answer was?
@@strangevials1161because were given that the population will increase by 4% every n months, we know that when (6/4)t=1, the population will increase by 4% (as we’re just multiplying the original population by 1.04). Solving (6/4)t=1, we get t=4/6 (ie every 4/6 years the population increases by 4%). However, t is in years and we are being asked for n months. So, we then multiply 4/6 years by 12 months/1 year to cancel the year units and get 8 months. By just multiplying 6/4 by 12, you are simply converting 6/4 from years to months, but not finding how many months it takes for the population to increase by 4%. You can visualize this by comparing P(0) to P(1.5), 1.5 years is the same as 18 months, and seeing that P(0)*1.04≠P(1.5)
Because 6/4 isn't 1. We needed that reciprocal to change it to 1.
hello, are these questiones taken from bluebook tests?
Hi! Yes, these were taken from practice exams 5 & 6.
@@RevolutionPrep 😭 please inform in the begging of the video, i got spoiled.
@@RevolutionPrep come on man
Oh, sorry about that. I'll make sure to mention it next time.
i have taken the may 4th Digital SAT and i have to admit that i have faced with these questions in first module not second, so maybe these questions could help you to reach 650 or 600 but not 700 I assume?
From what I know, it gives you an easier second module if you answered well enough.
@@airlot1469 i mean the second module was much harder than expected
These types of tricks can show up up in either module. The specific ones I chose happen to exemplify the tricks well. Avoiding hasty mistakes can certainly help you get up to 700-as long as you also know the material.
