DECEMBER 2011 SAT Pre/Post Test Discussion

<p>m+4d lol</p>

<p>97, 00, 03, and 06 were years where they got d$ more.</p>

<p>m + 4d or m+3d?</p>

<p>it was every 3 years: increase fee by “d”… from 1994-2006 what is the increase:</p>

<p>1994-1997
1997-2000
2000-2003
2003-2006</p>

<p>m+4d</p>

<p>Is that right?</p>

<p>i thought the answer was I and II
I is obviously true
and II i thought calories from fat was separate from the calories…</p>

<p>how did you get m+4d?</p>

<p>once again, i probably did it wrong.</p>

<p>seems like i did worse than i thought on math, and better than I thought on CR.</p>

<p>popular author and lecturer carlos cortes maintains that school is no longer the primary ____ education about diversity: that role has been ____ by larger societal forces and institutions.
A authority on … abdicated
B obstacle to … disbanded
C dispenser of… forfeited
D agent for … usurped
E recipient of … validated
help</p>

<p>Vocab Questions:
Misanthrope?
Discipline
Attentuated
Juxatposition (Don’t know if this one is right)
Animus ( I don’t think it was acuity because the beginning of the sentence said he was angry or something,which made his Animus opinion was biased.)
inqeuity- disparity?
Modest
Can’t remember the rest, feel free to edit.</p>

<p>I put I and II as well…</p>

<p>Sigh. I guess this question shows that America needs to pay more attention to food labels. lololololol</p>

<p>Was the calorie one less than 40% or not? I ended up going with I only on that one, but a serious case could be made either way, depending if you thought as fat calories as separate from regular calories or not. Very ambiguous, and assumes outside knowledge you usually don’t need on SAT math.</p>

<p>Was that the experimental section?</p>

<p>for the I, II, III one:</p>

<p>I: correct
II: 35/80 = 43%, not less than the 40% limit
III: 80 calories (a unit of energy), not grams or weight or whatever.</p>

<p>what did you guys think of the CR section with the bio fuels?</p>

<p>the primary education diversity problem… i put A. i think D could have worked too. what did you guys get?</p>

<p>Vocab Questions:
Misanthrope?
Discipline (performer who’s performances were very methodical
Attentuated (Frost that was thawed)

help please</p>

<p>i put d for the primary education one</p>

<p>because the context made it seem like bigger organizations took over for the schools, so i thoguht usurped was right.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s usurped. Abdicated doesn’t make any sense. If it said that the schools abdicated it would, but…</p>

<p>I put usurped</p>

<p>Guys, please move here.</p>
