December SAT Int. test

<p>i think in regards to is an error. technically it's fine, but it's nonstandard, and collegeboard is testing for "standard" english, so...</p>

<p>me too, i had 3 no errors. and on the practice test (QAS) i did night before, there were 4, so i thought there should be one more...</p>

<p>but foldedpaper, you are right, in regards to is an error:
In regard(s) to?
The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style says, "The singular noun is correct. The plural form (as in with regards to and in regards to) is, to put it charitably, poor usage....The plural regards is acceptable only in the phrase as regards" (Garner 286). </p>

<p>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</p>

<p>i remember a few questions- although i don't know if i put the right answers or not lol</p>

<p>african
1. example of mother who got money in exchange for her daughter's marriage- cursory acceptance of custom that degrades its value??
2. "to him he had just paid for her"- parallels daughter's condemnation at the tradition?
3. lens- daughter distorts custom vs. western anthropologists misinterpret</p>

<p>art passage
1. purpose- advocate unfettered expression of art vs. describe??
2. the long example on scientists and philosophers- public opinion parallels scientific guesses?
3. last paragraph shifts focus to public's reaction of art vs. author's bias
4. the public dislikes those who fail to portray contemporary subjects in art?</p>

<p>all these i'm not sure of the answer... what did all of u get?</p>

<p>anyone? =(</p>

<p>i got the same for the african</p>

<p>for the art:
1)same
2)i put E, don't remember what though
3) i think the same
4)different but don't remember</p>

<p>US sat didn't have anything about disney</p>

<p>blue, what score do you usually get on cr?</p>

<p>for many of those i put my answer vs. some other's</p>

<p>does "same" means that u chose the former one ?</p>

<p>Hey, did you guys ever notice that SAT really like to take passage from African American Literature?</p>

<p>i usually get 700-750, but that was two months ago...i haven't practiced since then</p>

<p>i didn't do well at all today. i would be happy with anyting above 650 to be honest.</p>

<p>what about you</p>

<p>i got 800 last time on the october test but i feel like i screwed up so bad today that i think i might have to cancel ... it all depends on what ppl say here lol</p>

<p>same for 1 is the former, unfettered</p>

<p>yeah, last time i screwed up on W, but later to find out that the section i did bad on was the experimental. UGHHHH</p>

<p>this time it's CR...what's happening?</p>

<p>robot intelligence passage</p>

<p>vocab- "signal"- indicate?</p>

<p>last time i cancelled so i won't this time...my parents wont let me :(</p>

<p>so except for two of those, your answers are same as mine, right?</p>

<p>yup, indicate</p>

<p>ARRGH-stupid 60 sec between posts rule</p>

<p>luckycoin--want to pm me your msn?</p>

<p>African: </p>

<p>for 2. i got the westerners/anthropologists misinterpretation of custom because the daughter condemning the practice isn't parallel to misinterpreting a dowry for bride price/fee--which she thinks anthropologists/westerners believe (because of their lens)</p>

<p>Art:
1. same
2. i put the public allows some fields more room to push boundries (scientists would be shocked if the public morphed their opinion is what it said, even though a lot of the time the public has) the point was that now, scientists are able to make statements/discoveries without having to care about public opinion (it went against public opinion)
3. i got it shifts from creative aspect of art to it's societal impact, because he begins by talking about how art is only good if its for pleasure and how it should be pushing boundaries and it should be new and creative and blah blah blah, and ends with the effect of pushing boundaries has on society (it keeps things fresh by working as an "adversary (another one of my answers)" to society (in the end, he still talked about the public's opinion, the public doesn't like innovation, and in the beginning his opinion was still pretty biased (art isn't art unless it's for pleasure)
4. i got the public dislikes those who flaunt individualism over community, which is the argument of individual against the common likes of society (anyway, contemporary art would be the art of today, the author was advocating for the art of tomorrow, pushing boundaries, not repeating them)</p>

<p>yup. and i have a feeling that i did them wrong....</p>

<p>sure, mine is <a href="mailto:luckycoin777@hotmail.com">luckycoin777@hotmail.com</a></p>

<p>haha yeah i get frustrated often as well</p>
