Consolidated Answers for the June 2010 SAT

<p>Was this an answer, " Strongly oppose things they disagree with" for the austrian passage? I think thats the missing question?</p>

<p>I’m expecting 9-10 wrong for CR 3 SC wrong and about 6 passage wrong</p>

<p>^ we already got that answer, which was something like, “have similar reactions to values they oppose.”</p>

<p>Girl in Austria
father wanted her to go on the trip “to learn about her non-English relatives”.
“freedom” means “releasing emotional burdens”
appalled = different viewpoints have equal values
likes her grandfather because “he talked about the present”
felt “disdain” for parent’s nostalgia about tearfully watering plants
“loved father like she loved a horse” = elaborate on previous sentence
painful to stay because of “isolation”
the old ways are “snobbishly excessive”
Inability to empathize with her father
Wanted to increase her affection towards her relatives
The girl disliked those who engaged in “wishful thinking instead of accepting the present”
The passage explains the girl’s views on her family</p>

<p>No we dont. I dont see it.</p>

<p>appalled = different viewpoints have equal values</p>

<p>^ That one.</p>

<p>So the answer I was thinking of was wrong? ( Or maybe appaled=different view points is phrased wrong)…</p>

<p>also for disdain? wasnt it disdain AND impatience, was contentious a choice?</p>

<p>^ it was “disdain and impatience”</p>

<p>^ Yeah I though so, seems like some of the answers in the list have been phrased wrong.</p>

<p>@simo could you also verify if stronly oppose diff view points is wrong or right, is it the correct phrase from apalled= different view points equality .</p>

<p>^ that sounds a bit familiar. I remember the two possible answer choices to include the words “values they oppose” and “hostile comments”, with the former being the correct answer.</p>

<p>writing improving sentences: </p>

<p>number 8 or 9 was about a guy who “before he went into politics, he had planned on going into medicine” and the answer was A, no change</p>

<p>there was one about turtles i think? </p>

<p>the last one was about employees and started with “were they to be” and it was correct </p>

<p>don’t really remember any others because they were quite easy</p>

<p>Here are my curve predictions: </p>

<p>Critical Reading - </p>

<p>67 - 800
66 - 800
65 - 800
64 - 780</p>

<p>Math - </p>

<p>54 - 800
53 - 780
52 - 760</p>

<p>Writing - </p>

<p>49 - 80
48 - 78
47 - 75</p>

<p>Just praying that a 10 essay w/ -1 mc will be an 800 : )</p>

<p>^ I agree with those. Just as a note though, I got a 10 essay with -1 MC on Writing in January and ended up with a 790… VERY frustrating considering my total score was a 2290!</p>

<p>I think this:</p>

<p>CR</p>

<p>67 - 800
66 - 800
65 - 800
64 - 800
63 - 780</p>

<p>Math</p>

<p>54 - 800
53 - 790
52 - 760</p>

<p>Writing</p>

<p>49 - 80
48 - 78
47 - 75</p>

<hr>

<p>Am I dreaming lol?</p>

<p>I’m in agreement with jolly’s CR curve. As much as I would LIKE the math curve to be like jolly’s, I think -1 is 780 would be more plausible.</p>

<p>@ fledgling - lol I know, I’ve looked up past curves and only two tests or so have had a 10 essay w/ -1 mc yield an 800… so I’m really hoping for an 11 or 12…</p>

<p>^ idt the CR curve will be that lenient jolly, that kind of curve has only been used for the hardest of tests, and although the June vocab was quite difficult, the rest of the questions were not</p>

<p>btw fledgling, was the writing on that January test harder or easier than this June one?</p>

<p>@silenceizsik</p>

<p>I felt they were about the same. But that’s just me.</p>

<p>I also thought they were about the same. Though again, that may just be me…</p>

<p>for the writing are we in agreement that there was only 1 no error or 2, and “any types”; why isnt this gramatically correct, though i am still unsure of what i put</p>

<p>^ it should be “any other types”. If not, the emperor doesn’t like any type of performance, when he clearly does.</p>

<p>I thought we had an agreement that there was 1 no error (#29) and that “intent about + gerund” (#24) was incorrect?</p>

<p>^there was another no error in a sentence involving communities, but I don’t remember it</p>
