Can you tell me the answer of this simple algebra problem?

I am doing an SAT preparation practice test for my own studious purposes and for some reason my brain stopped working at this problem and I had to stop the timer. If you could do this and explain how to do it quickly that would be great:

If y=1/(x+1), then what is x in terms of y?

Thanks!

Can I get into Rutgers/ NYU/UMiami with these scores?

I am going into my Junior year and I just finished up a SAT practice test which ended up to be 460-560-500 which is 1520/2400 and I have a 3.5 GPA unweighted taking all honors classes right now. Idk what it is weighted. If I keep this up/ improve on these scores will I have a chance in getting into one of these colleges. Also does it help my chances if somebody from your family went through/is going to one of the colleges?

Also, say I take the SAT multiple times, am I able to take scores from each one of the tests to come up with the best possible score or is it based off the test that you scored the highest on.

SAT practice?

I have SAT’S coming up this Saturday, so I have exaclty 6 days left to study. Unfortunately, I have been planning a fundraising event for the last month and have not been able to study much. Now that that is finished, I really need to get going. I have been studying for SAT’s for quite a while now, but only about 1 practice test a month. I currently am scoring about 2040-2060 on my practice tests. I want to get a 2100-2150 on the SAT. Currently, I am hitting about 700 in both reading and writing, and 640ish in math. What can I do in the next six days to up my score just enough?? Also, I have a lot of AP classes and school so I can’t practice ten hours a day…

thanks

SAT Score Calculations?

So i just took a SAT practice test out of the college board book Edition 2.

For the first 3 test, when i entered the scores online, it gave me straightforward test scores (e.g) 650 crit reading, 660 math, 670 writing.

After the first 3 tests, the scores began to vary (e.g.) crit reading 630-710, math 660-720, writing 620-750.

I’m wondering how do i calculate my actual score when the score range has bounds? Like do i take the median between the two bounds (e.g.) (630-710). My score would be 670 in that field?

Testmasters SAT scores…HELP?

Hi my name is Dean, this summer I wanted to get an early start on my SAT prep so I joined test masters. They have an online grading system that grades your test from the Official SAT study Guide thing from College Board and they also grade your essays. The very first day of test masters (at the center) I scored a horrible 1340…a 6 on the essay. When I took a practice test in the Official Guide I scored a 1760…with a 10 on my essay (this was after 1 week of Test Masters and studying on my own). Then I took another Practice test a week later and got a 1850 with a 11 on my essay. I took another pratice test a week after that and score 1890. But today when I took the SAT test at Test Masters I scored a low 1560…I was very disappointed.. I was wondering why the scores were so different from Test Masters and the official. Are Test Masters’ test harder or I am just bad on REAL test days? Which score should I trust? What is my REAL score around 1600 or around 1900?

How are my SAT practice test scores?

So i took a SAT practice test and i got like a 1650 or somewhere in the 1600′s(that is if i got at least a 7 on my essay which i think i can do), i struggled in the CR section but, i mean who doesn’t? I did decent in math and writing. I was disappointed in my score, im aiming for 1900+, i’ve been studying A LOT, because its the summer, and when i say a lot i dont mean like 7 hours, i mean 12 freaking hours at my table doing practice problems every day, yes i said every day thats how bad i want it. Any other recommendations on how to raise my score??

Currently i’ve split my 4 month time period before i take the actual SAT, the first month and a half im going to concentrate in the math section, i bought Kaplan’s SAT math workbook, i’m pleased with it, it challenged me which is good, the 2nd month and a half i’m going to concentrate in the CR and vocabulary since they pretty much go hand in hand with each other. The last month and a half im going to concentrate on the writing section of the test, im going to buy a book for that too. After all of this i plan on taking 1 last practice test, to see how much i improved from my first 1600-1650.
I hope i do good on it, i want to go to UCLA, USC, or USD for computer science. I do dragon boat(paddling sport) and im going to continue to do it through senior year to show commitment, i’ve volunteered for all of the marathons in San Francisco, i’m currently in a academy in my high school, AOIT(Academy of Information Technology) i dont know how that’s going to help but, the more the better.
I’m a 3.75 GPA student, but last semester i got a 4.0 GPA, I’m taking pre calculus next year, and i plan on AP calculus, and Physics honors(theres no AP physics, honors is highest) in my senior year.
I said practice test, i didn’t get a 1600 on the real SAT, i’m studying for it, i only have 4 months, im going to take it in october.
Well, im my workbook, i usually try all the questions first, and if i dont get it after everything ill look in the back but, after i do a couple of problems i usually catch on and i’ll be able to do some of them by myself,

Well for the physical part, i have dragon boat for that, that takes like 3 hours of my day and i’m exhausted after it so ill take a nap.

When i finish all the questions in a section, i usually jump around in the same section and redo the questions again so i get more familiar with the question format.
