2016 May International SAT 2 (Lit and Math 2)

Lit:

  1. the passage on spiders. What’s the effect of the word quaint

  2. the passage about the girl leaving town to live in the country. It’s the qn about the moniker “dear”

  3. same passage as above. What is one thing the girl and speaker don’t both do? One of the options was “regard each other affectionately”

Math 2

Qn 49. The one about a^x=b^y or something like that.

Qn 50. The one about the ship sailing from A to C.

Will greatly appreciate any responses or inputs, guys! Kind of freaking out about my tests now sigh

bump

What the hell was that test about?? I have don’t the almost all the KAP an PR tests and none where as lengthy or tough as this…(atleeast I feel). any ways do you think this test is a retest of some previously administered test(if so I HAVE to search for that thread cus I wanna know the answers so badly…))
I don’t remember the context of the question…
If we find the passages or excerpts( just google it), discussing the test would be much easier. Meanwhile just post the passage topics u remember and also any answers…
3)The girl and the speaker do so affection. I chose the option that said “don’t like returning to the present”.
Dun remember 1 and 2 exactly though for"dear", I chose “from point of view of the young woman”. Maybe right not sure.
Pls post anything u remember.

** do show affection

Math 2

Qn 49. The one about a^x=b^y or something like that.

Qn 50. The one about the ship sailing from A to C.

Had teh exact same problem, has 3 mins left and saw that 49 would require effort and time so I went to 50 but had no clue how to do it since I couldnt find an another angle, what method did you use?’ I jsut put C

Question 49 I didnt have time so I jsut put C, di you attempt them?

For 49 look up logarithms.
For 50 look up law of cosines.

49 I think I said x+z=y+w. I remember plugging in for them and it made sense

@renegade23 that solution only works when a=b

I think it was E

@HL3535 Wasn’t the problem like a^x=b^y and a^w=b^z or in some similar order?

I knew how to answer 49 just not enough time

What were the answers for 49 and 50?

Also for the interest rate question , answer was A? they put it in months instead of years

47-50 I got A, C, E, D. Anyone else?

Yep! Would be int to know the answers to q49 and 50 for math 2? Btw anyone knows the bell curve for math 2? What’s the lowest raw score one can get to still get an 800 in scaled score?

And feel free to discuss any other questions you might have!

@senjiruven how does the girl show affection towards the speaker?

@doorrealthe is qn48 the one on interest rates? Didn’t do it in the test, but tried working it out afterwards and got 14. Isn’t C an answer with 3 digits?

Not sure, tbh I can’t really remember that question. All i remember is the pattern of answers i got for the last 4, haha.

@Harvardbound2017 and the question was an EXCEPT one. the girl doesn’t show affection to the suitor, which means it wasn’t true. at least that’s what i thought

@doorrealthe yep that’s what I put too. But since serujiven didn’t put that, I was wondering if he noticed something in the passage that I missed out

@doorrealthe btw did you do Math 2? What was your ans for the last qn on the sailing ship?

Yeah I took Math 2 and lit. For 50 i put D, but I’m really not sure if thats right. Seems like everyone got different answers
