<p>So it's a couple of days till the PSAT. And I realize that I am terrible at the sentence completions. I dont have time I remember lists of words. So please help me with some mind blowing advice :)</p>
<p>Also grammar. I think I'm improving. But I need a little bit more help? Any tips? How doyou check for misplaced modifiers? Etc..</p>
<p>And math. How can I remember direct and indirect variation? I can't remember and comprehend it? An easier way? Thanks :)</p>
<p>The best way to do well on the SC section is to remember words. However, if you are short on time, I recommend this advice from Barrons 2400.
Be level headed.</p>
<p>Remember that in a 5 question SC section,
1 and 2 = Easy
3 = Medium
4 and 5 = Hard
Therefore, if you really don’t know for questions 4 and 5, choose the most difficult vocab among the answer choices. This will increase the chance to get the problem correct significantly.</p>
<p>I’m going to sleep right now… so I’ll respond to questions 2 and 3 when I wake up…</p>
<p>When I do indirect variation, I remember that both sides involve multiplication. Direct variation is pretty much the same thing as proportions.</p>
<p>You are ill-prepared, young lad. You should have prepared earlier.</p>
<p>
This is like a free point given by CB once you understand what you are supposed to look for. When you see a gerund in the modifier, you can safely assume that this is a question that involves a dangling modifier. Make sure the intended subject is following the modifier.</p>
<p>Ex.
Realizing the mistakes, we</p>
<p>This should come naturally after numerous practice tests. These kinds of problems shouldn’t take you more than 10 seconds.</p>
<p>
Did you mean… direct and inverse proportions?</p>
<p>Direct proportion: y = kx
Remember: As x increases, y increases as well.</p>
<p>Inverse proportion: y = k/x
As x increases, y decreases.</p>
<p>It might be helpful to look at the graphs of the two.</p>
<p>Thanks Jeffery!
And to the person who said I’m ill-prepared. I agree. I did t prepare as much as I hope so</p>
<p>But aren’t you a sophomore? Besides the whole “tell me your score” conversation with friends/randy people, I don’t see why you should worry lol.</p>
<p>Yes I am. Except I want a high score. Currently I’m around 185. I just need 15 more so I’m a happy person. So far I achieved about 12 more points. Now I was 3 more. The end.</p>
