***February 2016 SAT Makeup Thread***

The reason I thought it was deceptive was because in the first passage they were only reference the “blank slate” line. In passage two they said that although children are not born with any knowledge, they do have an innate ability to learn language. So even though technically the child is a blank slate, they can easily pick up a language. That’s why I though “blank slate” was deceptive and not unthinkable. Unthinkable seems like it would only be used to describe passage two if they were really attacking passage one, while from what I remember they were just stating their side. I was between unthinkable and deceptive though, so you could definitely be right.

did i forget what the question was asking about…? i remember that “unthinkable” refers to the idea of passage 2(innate ability) instead of that of passage 1(blank slate)

I think the question was something like what would the author of passage 2 when talking about “innate ability” think about the author of passage 1 when talking about “blank slate,” unless I am remembering it wroing.

apparently the feb 27th test is the previously administered test from december 2012 lol

@Struggleforsat how do you know?

do you guys remember the last math grid in question
was the answer 3 or 2/5?

@Pisaller i googled one of the cr questions and it popped up on the cc december 2012 sat thread

i think it’s an unreleased old test

@gracexoxoxo it’s 2/5

what do you guys get for the “dramatic hand gesture” question for the math professor passage? is it “showy but sincere”?

when are we getting scores back?!?!

@starlover9115 to be honest I think I just put a random answer after narrowing it down to I think 3 choices. I believe I either put what you chose or the one about sharing stories/plays.

I feel I made some careless mistakes here and there. Hope I get a high score…

@pearl99

5 0
4 1
3 2
2 3
1 4
0 5

6 ways

@row566 it’s 4 ways because each person must have at least one

for the nepotism question, what’s the answer to the “under what condition would the beneficiary’s self-esteem not be affected” question? is it “to receive step-by-step training”?

@struggleforsat It just asked how many ways you could distribute 5 coins between 2 people, it never said that they each had to have one coin.

@row566 I’m almost positive it said they each had to have 1. I put 4.

@row566 i can almost guarantee that it said. that’s one of the questions i’m sure about

@ Motodile 4 is correct
