<p>@ peaches…u are correct…Did u get a answer of the fish please??</p>
<p>@peaches…But u are wrong about the intereger sum…it would be only I. not I and III. Because 50-15=35
35>30 thus it might not contain numbers less than 15!</p>
<p>PhoenixR: The smaller fish weighed 24 ounces, with a length of 6 inches. The larger fish had a length of 9 inches.</p>
<p>Weight = k * Length^2
24 = k * 6^2
k = 2/3
Weight of larger fish = 2/3 * 9^2 = 54</p>
<p>PhoenixR, I got only I as well. Only the “odd/even” one was true.</p>

<p>Play down a pivotal event ? Anyone remembers the question ?</p>
<p>@peaches
why is it “credulous”? theskylitup and I agreed on “naivete” just now
Do you remember the question?</p>
<p>^ I think there was another question where credulous was the answer - possibly for one of the sentence completions. </p>
<p>I definitely think Naivete is correct as it referred to the author as a child.</p>
<p>ETA: Found the precise question:</p>
<p>“believing technology could change one’s life” demonstrated the author’s curiosity, defensiveness or naivete?.. </p>
<p>credulous wasn’t one of the choices. Naivete it is. </p>
<p>Credulous is an answer though, but for a different question (I think, because I can’t think of the question at the moment)</p>
<p>@ sky</p>
<p>what is the compilation for? im kinda aloof now cause i signed on after a few hours 
</p>
<p>and is any kind soul out there who can explain in 2 or 3 sentence why the French Montaigne guy one was experimental? </p>
<p>thank you 
:)</p>
<p>ErialC: I think there are two questions with the option “naivete”, one of them being the caravan passage.</p>
<p>The other question was about a historical writer who was quick to use random stuff as facts. Credulous means a great readiness to believe in things. One of the other options was “imperious”, I think.</p>
<p>Someone explain the f(x)=f(-3) question?</p>
<p>Nitcomp,</p>
<p>Compliation is for the Math sections. By no means comprehensive, and it was copied and pasted from the June 2009 Math thread.</p>
<p>As to how we figured it was Montaigne:</p>
<p>Basically, as another poster discovered, the December 2009 International SAT is exactly the same as the Jun 2009 SAT. The June SAT’s experimental was in the Math section, which means that the experimental section in this month’s intl SAT is whatever wasn’t on the June CR sections.</p>
<p>And so we checked it out, in June 2009, only the Montaigne passage didn’t appear, :. that one is the experimental.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ok, see its easier as they gave you the function as a curve.
Essentially,</p>
<ol>
<li>plug in (-3) into the function, say that it gives you -1 as an answer. This means that for an x value of -3, the y value is -1. </li>
<li>for f(x) to equal f(-3), that means you’re looking for another x value which will give you the same y value -1. </li>
</ol>
<p>:. Scan the curve, put a dot on the coordinate (-3, -1), look horizontally accross to see where another point on the curve is also on the y value of -1. </p>
<p>and here at x=2, y=-1. </p>
<p>:. f(-2) = f(-3). </p>
<p>It didn’t matter what the y value was, (all i remember was that it was -ve) as long as f(2) and f(-3) when calculated gave the SAME y value.</p>
<p>I’m not sure. I interpreted the question as “find the value of y when x=-3”. I always understood y to be the same as f(x)…</p>
<p>Sigh…</p>
<p>ohh thank you so much theskylitup!!</p>
<p>btw, just for my information, are the passages exactly same to the ones tested in June?</p>
<p>@peaches</p>
<p>we first have to find out the y value that corresponds to f(-3) , not sure but it was -1 (?)</p>
<p>then we have to look for another x coordinate that matches the same y value.
in short we have to identify points how have coordinate (-3),(-1) and (X),(-1) assuming -1 as the y coordinate…</p>
<p>@theskylitup
You mentioned “an example of a distinctive fictional character in the genre.”
Do you mean "to point out a unique character” or “substinate a point about a genre” ?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It is!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that it was looking for another value of x that would give the same value of y as the function (ie. y value) using the x value of -3</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>"to point out a unique character” <– zis one :)</p>
<p>I sometimes paraphrase if i can’t remember the exact answer, so kudos for remembering the exact phrasing!</p>
<p>PS. Agatha Christie is awesome!</p>
<p>I don’t remember which option I chose - -
Can you please explain in detail to help me recall my answer?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sure
The question referred to a few lines in the passage (african-american author’s essay about books) where towards the end of the passage the author was talking about finally realising why she use to see old women in the library reading mystery thrillers. It is because “nowhere else in literature are older women treated with such kindness” (or something to that effect), citing Agatha Christie’s character Miss Marple as a famous example. </p>
<p>The reasoning for my answer is a little more obscure, but essentially the question referred specifically to the author’s use of Miss Marple - specifically, Miss Marple then would be to point out an interesting character. That’s the answer I chose.</p>
<p>However, thinking now, I can see that “substantiating a point about a genre” could work…sort of. See, the author doesn’t give any further details about Miss Marple, and to the reader who isn’t familiar with Agatha Christie, very little is substantiated.</p>
<p>Hence, I would still go for “pointing out a distinctive character”.</p>
<ul>
<li>BUt i’m open to being wrong, and I could be. That question was a bit more obscure.</li>
</ul>
<p>So do you guys reckon that we’ll get the same curve as the US June curve? Could anyone post that up?</p>
