December 1st SAT Discussion

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
561

<p>@afternoon</p>

<p>It was something along the lines of “after the train stops, each passenger stand up, wanting to be the first onto the platform”</p>

<p>The error was “stand”…since you’re saying each, which is singular, you need the verb to stand to be singular as well–as in “stands”.</p>

562

<p>Was the one with the tutors in the math section experimental</p>

563

<p>Thanks giggsy! Darn I didn’t notice that… I was so focused on the “onto”</p>

564

<p>@haphazard Do you remember if the last question on the test you bubbled in was no error? (A). I’m so frustrated right now because i felt i had a good shot at getting close to 800 in writing.</p>

565

<p>Ramennoodles, I remember that there weren’t many “a” choice answers on the last section. Let me try to find out what the last question was in section 10, and then I’ll get back to you.</p>

566

<p>what did u guys get for a pluto passage question that asks why did author state the date blah blah. He speicified the date in which pluto was discovered (1930 I think) and asked why did he specify the date.</p>

567

<p>I believe it was something along the lines of emphasizing the longstanding distinction of such a discovery. As in this guy had been honored for decades for his discovery of Pluto, but now has to cope with the fact that his planet isn’t a planet anymore. =[</p>

568

<p>what was the answer for the sleep identify the error question?</p>

569

<p>Was there a math question similar to the s-distance one ? Points (1,1) (-2,-2) (1,3)</p>

570

<p>@realwaffle I think that section wasn’t experimental.</p>

571

<p>@gogi It was a (2,2) or (-2,2) or (2,-2) or (-2,-2). Either way the S distance would be the greatest at that point b</p>

572

<p>What about this q:</p>

<p>There was one question about a quadrilateral on a graph. It asked for the y-coordinate of one vertex. I remember there was a point (0,4) and (2,w). The question asked for w. This was #8 on a math section (the last one before grid-in questions started). I remember putting “A)” 5 and 3/5. Was that correct?</p>

573

574

<p>@niquii lol I may have misinterpreted the graph but I’m pretty sure there was a (1,3) or was it another q?</p>

575

<p>I don’t think so because there were 2 versions of the test.</p>

576

<p>@DmitriX i wouldnt put my full name if i were you. What they are doing can get the people involved in trouble. @damamanan there were three options. two of the options had their x-values at 3 so they were both right @1994hanuk for the linguistics passage, im 100% sure the answer was that passage 1 talks about a belief system that passage 2 criticizes. and for the nepotism. it was “hire and train family members that are willingly to lead the future company”</p>

577

<p>@1994hanuk , dude are you sure those are the right answers? -.-</p>

578

<p>@ jianxxx… I can vouch for them being correct (:</p>

<p>BUT I have another question. I had a math experimental section, but I’m not sure which one it was. DID anyone have the last question in their math section about the “sum of all the even numbers from -99 to 0 and all the odd numbers from 0 to 100?” I got -50 for this question. But since no one else has posted about it, and it was pretty hard, I guess it was in the experimental section?</p>

579

<p>@sugar, I had it too. I got +50. I think that was experimental for both of us since most people aren’t talking about it.</p>

580

<p>Also, the second to last question for it was like: which is impossible- AB + BC = AC and stuff like that</p>
