How was the PSAT?

<p>I’m pretty sure I got a perfect, if not one wrong on the math section… Reading is not my strong point I’m sure I only got 70% or lower on reading. Writing started out easy then I sort of stopped trying on the story part. …</p>

22

<p>Did anyone get the vocab question with prosaic with one of the answers? I don’t remember which question it was, but it was the only vocab completion I struggled with. I think I chose an answer like “emphatic” or something.</p>

23

<p>On the 50 mph one, I got 7.2 minutes too.</p>

24

<p>i think i did pretty well on CR and Math but I thought the I identifying sentence errors on writing was very hard.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the vocab question that had the answer choices as deplore, superficial, and equivocal? I wasn’t too sure about that one.</p>

25

<p>@biovball
i remember that question. Do you know the other answer choices? I don’t think I put emphatic though.</p>

26

<p>@omaryasin
I got deplorable, which I’m pretty sure is correct.
The sentence was saying that the scientists’ presentation was _____ because it was misleading and had bad information and such. Deplorable means having bad quality, so I thought that made sense.</p>

<p>And I don’t remember the other choices for that question, sorry. It may come to me in a bit.</p>

27

<p>@biovball
thanks. I put equivocal because of the words like “misunderstood” but i think you might be right.</p>

28

<p>That’s true. I guess a few of those answers could have made sense.</p>

<p>Now I’m remembering a bit more about that question. It had something to do with libraries. So I guess I got that wrong because last time I checked, libraries aren’t “emphatic” xP</p>

29

<p>Lol, now I’m having doubts about my answer of deplorable lol because equivocal is starting to make more sense to me…</p>

30

<p>dont worry about it too much. a lot of people i talked to put either deplorable or equivocal. some even put superficial.</p>

31

<p>I got 7.2 also</p>

<p>I thought I did very well on the math section, but not so good on the cr and writing :/</p>

<p>@msteiny: i got hung up on that too. I think i said the same thing but i’m not sure. None of them were great.</p>

<p>Overall, i think i did okay. I thought writing was the easiest. On reading i found it pretty good, i had a feeling “quixotic” would turn up. I got hung up on the question about charlotte bronte standing between her sister and the italics thing. That was weird.</p>

<p>Math was the worst. I was really rushed. I kept jumping around. I know i screwed up with the parallelogram fill-in. Also volume of a cylinder and the thing with the apples. I probably got in the mid-60s at best.</p>

34

<p>I put equivocal. In my opinion, that was the most difficult vocab question. Equivocal means misleading, so it fit the sentence. Deplorable means disgustingly bad, so I guess it fits, but it seemed kind of unspecific (misinformation, misleading, etc. fits with equivocal more than deplorable). Even so, most people put deplorable, so I’m probably wrong.</p>

35

<p>what were the other answer choices for that quixotic question? I was about to put that but i put something else instead. I think i put C</p>

36

<p>Check this out, it seems some of these questions were on the 2008 SAT:

37

<p>My thoughts:</p>

<p>Section 1 CR: What is this.</p>

<p>Section 2 M: It was OK…</p>

<p>Section 3 CR: THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN THE FIRST SECTION.</p>

<p>Section 4 M: MC was easy. Grid-ins were a bit misleading.</p>

<p>Section 5 W: A relief.</p>

38

<p>interesting that some questions were from the 2008 sat. but still many people were debating between equivocal and deplore as well. ughh im not sure. I think its probably deplore now that i think about it.</p>

39

<p>Sorry if this is a stupid question but was professor mo being sarcastic when he said “kindly” a lot or was it actually him being nice</p>

<p>I couldn’t tell, I thought that question was hard :/</p>
