SAT and ACT Math Trick: Sequence Problems

Can you do more?

This is really smart

You are the 🐐

We don't have S.A.T's where I go to school but if these are the questions americans get then oh boy the standard is pretty low

A ridiculously simple trick and u make it look like something special! Geez, tell me what happens if not 5 terms or 10! U are really pathetic

Can you explain this one again?

Can you do more?

Numbers ending in 1,6 are triangle, 2,7 are square, 3,8 star, 4,9 square, 5,0 diamond

yes legend! 😫

We want more

I paused the video before he explained it and got it right, how is this hard?

I'm stressing out because of my upcoming SAT and this guy just make me look at it with a whole new perspective

YEAH!!!!

Will you tutor me for Trig?

hold up this easy as hell shit is on the SATs???

this isn't a trick, this is (obviously) how you are supposed to solve the question....

This isn't really sat tricks. You actually found a very clever way of approaching this problem which is probably one of the only ways to solve this

No one really knows when they first see it
seriously?

I thought this is common sense...

If the final number is 1 or 6 it's the triangle
If the final number is 2 or 7 it's the square
If the final number is 3 or 8 it's the star
If the final number is 4 or 9 it's the circle
If the final number is 5 or 0 it's the diamond

I am still very lost...;-;

I didn't know it was a trick. I thought it was logic.

I’m literally in Middle School and I use this trick in my competitions (of course the numbers aren’t that large)

Is this a USA thing? I'm from Europe and we learned this at 5th grade

Once an indian guy told me we solve sat questions in 6 class ... I never understood bcuz it's for undergraduates .... Now I understand ... Why ...

ಠಿ_ಠಿ oh hey, I think I get the gist of it.
Looking at the last digit, and the last item in the sequence, start counting from there. Say 1, you start from the last item, then count one, the triangle. 6 also the triangle.
Triangle, square, star, circle, diamond, count 1, triangle etc 0, diamond
It repeats it itself like so

In both those examples if you dropped all but the last number youd have the answer, would that work for every example.

U r overcomplicating this lol

Awesome!

what if there are n terms given, where n isn’t equal to 5 or 10?
